I noticed they only sell one Cooley - the standard Connemara. That's a bit strange for such a big shop...

Maybe they do some other stuff bottled by Cooley.

Connemara was named Connemara for the French market, non? It's a name well known there from a popular song. So Cooley need to name a few more whiskeys after French tunes... Joe le Taxi, Voulez Vous Couchez avec Moi, that sort of thing.

I was gonig to say Je t'aime, but I was afraid you'd get the wrong message.

France is a big market for Cooley, non?

Good for Irish whiskey generally, I believe. The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that Joe le Whiskey would be a huge hit over there. Want to invest in a trial cask? Allons-y!
