    GolfCask Road Show - County Sligo

    We made our way to the legendary County Sligo Golf Club at Rosses Point, one of Ireland’s oldest and most storied links courses, founded in 1894. In this GolfCask Road Show stop, we sit down with David O’Donovan to uncover the history behind this championship venue, home of the prestigious West of Ireland Championship—where names like Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, and Padraig Harrington have all left their mark. From traditional out-and-back links design to massive rolling greens, ever-present coastal winds, and some of the most demanding (and beautiful) par 3s you’ll ever face—this course is a true test of shot-making and strategy. And if you think it’s an 8-iron… it’s probably a 7. Trust us. We also dive into Ireland’s unique club team competitions, the pride behind the pennants lining the clubhouse walls, and—of course—the local pub and whiskey scene you absolutely can’t miss after your round. If you’re chasing authentic links golf, rich history, and a proper pint (or pour), County Sligo belongs on your list. If you love golf, whiskey, and the stories behind the places that shape them—hit subscribe, drop a comment, and share this with your playing partners.And if County Sligo just made your bucket list… we’ll see you on the first tee. #golfcask #countysligo #rossespoint #linksgolf #irishgolf #golftravel #golftrip #golfireland #whiskeyandgolf #golfvlog #golfcourse #bucketlistgolf #amateurgolf #westofireland #golfadventure #golfcontent #golfcommunity #travelgolf #guinnessandgolf

    Ulysses S. Grant’s Cigar Legend

    Before Ulysses S. Grant became a Civil War legend and President of the United States, he was a struggling farmer selling firewood on a St. Louis street corner just to feed his family. Life had knocked him down more than once. But when the Civil War erupted, the quiet, steady man put the uniform back on and returned to serve. Grant didn’t look like a heroic general. He looked tired, rumpled, and usually had a cigar in the corner of his mouth. Then one simple photograph changed everything. When newspapers published the image of Grant calmly smoking during the war, Americans saw something powerful—authentic leadership under pressure. So they started sending him cigars. Not a few. Not a box or two. Thousands. Crates. Wagonloads. Roughly 10,000 cigars showed up at Grant’s headquarters. The accidental image became a symbol of composure during chaos. And while battles raged—from Fort Donelson to Vicksburg to Appomattox—Grant kept the same rhythm: think, decide, act… with a cigar burning beside him. This isn’t just a story about cigars. It’s about resilience, ritual, and steady leadership when the pressure is highest. Because sometimes the people who change history don’t look like legends at all. They just keep showing up. And sometimes… they do it with a cigar.
