If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I agree with you about Tullamore Dew, but maybe a wee shame to 'waste' it mixed with coffee. Bottoms up, I say !! I live in Kenya and we produce great coffee here…..why not try it ?

I use a good Columbian coffee and natural sugar. But while lighly whipping the cream, I toss a half ounce of whiskey in the cream! Adds a lovely smell to the cream to greet the nose and fortify the soul. Probably it is “just not done,” but I use Powers Whiskey (my favorite) and flavorful enough to charge through the coffee.

Which means my understanding of Irish affairs in now -- good grief! -- some 25 years behind the times. And fair warning... I intend to take you up on that offer. :) I freely admit, Sabrina, firstly that my expertise is coffee and not Irish lore, and secondly that what I *do* know of the Irish body politic is colored by years under the tutelage of Irish Catholic priests in seminary.

Me, I'd match Tullamore Dew with something on the order of <a href="http://www.greenmountaincoffee.com/Coffee/OrganicSumatranReserve" rel="nofollow">Green Mountain's Fair Trade Organic Sumatran Reserve</a>, or, for something more languid and syrupy consider <a href="http://www.counterculturecoffee.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=80&category_id=12&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=42" rel="nofollow">Counter Culture's Dolok Sanggul</a>, a crazy delicious Sumatra Lintong. Hi, Larry.

Me, I’d match Tullamore Dew with something on the order of Green Mountain’s Fair Trade Organic Sumatran Reserve, or, for something more languid and syrupy consider Counter Culture’s Dolok Sanggul, a crazy delicious Sumatra Lintong.

I really could not understand which coffee you actually preferred with Tullamore Dew> Enjoyed reading your thoughts on pairing coffee for an Irish Coffee but it sounded like gobbley gook.
