We previously knocked GrandTen’s outing for an Irish/Boston Whisky, but this time it’s all American baby – and it’s worse. The name wire works here evokes more of an image of a copper scrubber with this as the cleaning solution more than a copper still, and to be honest it’s not a great image to have. The worse image this conjures up though is in it’s first line asking if you’re tired of British colonization which – jeez guys – that’s a loaded question for a gin.
We bought this because Boston (among others like London, Glasgow, etc) is one of our favorite cities. It’s not a Los Angeles or an NYC, it’s a city with real people instead of those pretending to be. We were apprehensive though. Because there is this part of Boston that hinges too far upon Ireland – not that we shouldn’t celebrate it as we celebrate all history. We were worried this be subpar and try to feed upon that feeling to sell it to us. Sadly we report that we were right.
