Finnegans Wake Grappa discussion

Jamesons, that most wakean of whiskies.

Best on the carpet whilst the hi-fi wails Pornography by The Cure.

Originally established in Dublin, of course, though now in Cork I think - blended which feels Joycean. However, its scottish roots could be held against it if one was being pedantic

Shane MacGowan was always a Powers whiskey feller for what it's worth....

I did not know that. They should put his face on the label. Or mebbe not.

Haha... A Drink With Shane MacGowan is nothing short of a ripping yarn... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks for that! The "Readers Also Enjoyed" widget put up a biography of Joe Strummer that I didn't know existed.

Anyhoo, what makes Jameson the most Wakean?

Son of James?

I guess Powers is what the working class drink, you wouldn't know it by the price at the liquor store, just a few bucks less. Bushmills is some Protestant shit I know that.

Read the Strummer bio when it came out. It was good but most of it is covered in any Clash doc/bio save the post-Clash bits.

Maybe I'm making it up but wasn't it a bottle of Jamesons which what woke up our Finn? And am I not making this up that it is pour'd aplenty ; certainly more frequently than the Powers but I've not stats.
