Retronaut

On the longest day of the year, spare a thought for your historical smuggler. Short nights and good weather made the evasion of Revenue and the smuggling trade more difficult. Free Trading peaked in the winter months but dipped in the summer.

Civil War Day 7, tensions rise in #Waterford as IRA troops try to control communication from the city. The newspapers report how vessels are boarded and their Wireless equipment seized. The Civil War is steadily approaching the city.

Civil War Day 8, as IRA forces occupy the General Post Office on the Quay it is announced that postal services are suspended. Waterford is now completely cut off by Telephone, Telegram or Post.

Enjoying the expert hospitality in @Thepalacebar21 with a 'pint of plain and ball of malt' (as a previous patron was want to say). Managed to snag the hard to find Retronaut from @BlackDistillery which has been ony list for some time.

A deep breath before we fire up the stills, on a damp, early Waterford morning.

It's great to see DAFM insisting that Irish whiskey labels now say ‘Produced for’ when liquid is not produced in house by brand. Expect gnashing of teeth from shite brands and faux-distilleries. #irishwhiskey

@FlemishDog @gamespite Try ours blackwaterdistillery.ie/shop/whiskey/r…

@gamespite so when can we expect Jeremy Parish's Retronaut Whiskey?

Yesterday, two of our customers got hitched at the restaurant next door. Between ceremony and reception guests were invited to choose a book from our shop. We kept a running tab. An open book bar! I present this to you in case you thought the world had run out of good ideas.

Last bottle ever in the e-store! It will be gone by morning so get in quick! #drinkresponsibly

For Sale! Smuggling sloop active seized by Revenue for public auction on #Waterford Custom House Quay. Vessels like these were often bought back by original owners and returned to work.

Delighted to pick up some history books earlier in Ryan's of Patrick Street in #Waterford. Could have spent all day there poking around if it was possible.

Welcome #Retronaut , make yourself comfortable. @BlackDistillery @BlackDistillery @themulryan
