contemporary singer/songwriters. As technically skilled a guitarist and musical
arranger as any great in the business, his edgy and soulful, baritone vocals may
arguably be richer. And then there’s the passion. From his smouldering,
blues-infused, acoustic guitar work lasting up to four hours without a break, to
the most gut-wrenching love song poured out as though a private confession, it
is John Monnecka’s passion as a live performer which defines the core of his
music.

Plavnicky http://haileysharpandpub.com/whiskeys-of-the-world-review-by-r-plavnicky/ http://haileysharpandpub.com/whiskeys-of-the-world-review-by-r-plavnicky/#comments Wed, 19 Jan 2011 21:11:24 +0000 cflynn http://haileysharpandpub.com/?p=999 Last night I attended the first annual whiskey tasting at Hailey’s Harp and Pub. It was a huge success!

Pam still reads a pulp newspaper and it was there that she spotted the ad. She thought that our friend Will (also a whiskey enthusiast) and I might enjoy the nearby event and offered to drive. (Can’t beat that, right?)

About 30 of us convened in a back room of the pub to eat, sample whiskeys and converse with Whiskey Master Kevin Loser. Our host (and pub owner) Chris got the evening going with a few stories and jokes while the first of some 7 whiskeys were poured. Kevin took over and began with a high-level description of different whiskey types and common distillery operations. Each new pour was introduced with a great deal of detail. Between tastings, plates of finger foods appeared, prepared by chef Johnny O’ to compliment that particular whiskey. Delicious!

I already had varying degrees of familiarity with most everything we tasted, save one – the Redbreast. The 12-year-old didn’t impress me but it was followed by the 15-year-old which was simply outstanding. A triple-distilled pure pot still whiskey is unique. A Web search will bring you lots more information about the whiskey, here’s a good place to start.

The pace of the event was good. The hours passed quickly and afterward we had a pint in the pub proper, taking in some live music. Chris spent some time hangin’ with the three of us, talking. (Nice touch, spending time with the noobs.) He runs a nice hands-on operation and customers know him by name. The house was packed – normal, I’m told.

Hailey’s has a great atmosphere, everyone made us feel welcome. It’s someplace I’ll definitely try to visit more often. Besides, I want to explore their menu.  http://www.timeoff.org/wp-rp/2011/01/14/haileys-harp-and-pub/
