TOPS at Lifestyle Centre Ballito is looking forward to celebrating the ‘luck of the Irish’ this March! With their large selection of Irish whiskey and wide variety of local, international and craft beers, this is where you’ll find an appropriate tipple of choice to celebrate the heritage and culture of Ireland! Eamonn recommends these three quintessentially Irish options…
GUINNESS DRAUGHT
Guinness is an Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness at St. James’s Gate, Dublin, Ireland, in 1759. For many, Guinness is synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and is one of the most famous beers on the planet. This renowned beer is defined by its rich and creamy flavour, distinctively black hue and it’s velvety finish. Sweet balances bitter as the malt arrives on cue to compliment the roasted barley base. Guinness Draught is an ideal accompaniment to good friends and good times.
BAILEYS ORIGINAL IRISH CREAM
One of life’s most pleasurable indulgences, Baileys Original Irish Cream is the sweetest meeting of fine Irish whiskey and spirits, Irish dairy cream, rich chocolate and vanilla flavours. The result? Complete deliciousness. Drink neat over ice, shake into cocktails, drizzle over ice-cream, take coffee, hot chocolate or a Dom Pedro to the next level, even bake a Baileys-tastic cake. Baileys Original Irish Cream equals pure, unadulterated pleasure.
JAMESON TRIPLE DISTILLED
The world’s favourite Irish whiskey! Jameson is produced from a blend of grain whiskey and single pot still whiskey, which uses a mixture of malted and unmalted Irish barley, all sourced from within a fifty-mile radius around the distillery in Cork. John Jameson pioneered the art of Triple Distillation, which is the tradition that gives Jameson whiskeys their signature smoothness. How to drink it? Any way you like. Just add mates and widen the circle.
