Black Tie if you have it, Lounge if you don't. Let's not get hung up on dress code as it's the company that counts.

Re: Visit to Ireland

If you want the ultimate in sophistication and elegance then a stay at Ashford Castle. Clothwise, a visit to Kevin and Howlin is always good. Ignore the rtw in the window, there's always stocks of proper handwoven Donegal tweed. Whilst you're deciding which to go for be sure to pop across the road t...

Did you visit Bruichladdich? They make my favorite single malt. Hmmm. Yes, a Day 1 visit if I recall the sequence correctly. Bruichladdich have the most beautiful mash tun. They are one of the more interesting distilleries as they produce not only their Bruichladdich brand but also Port Charlotte, ...
