“I find it impossible not believe that there’s something in Irish blood that favors their power with words.” – Jim Harrison
The Irish have a way with words. Every day speech is full of clever turns of phrase, and catchy sayings that make mundane sayings seem more romantic. Maybe it’s the Irish whiskey that loosens tongues and lets the magic and poetry flow. But whether it’s the liquor, the history of hardship, their belief in the other-worldly, or their strong sense of place and community, there is no denying the beauty of both the country and the words that originate there. So here’s a sampling of a few of those wonderful sayings and then a few insights about the whiskey you should be drinking when reciting them! Slainte!
