This is becoming a regular item... the world record for the largest Irish coffee has been broken again (previous record attempt, and the one before that).

What they all have in common is that they take place outside Ireland. This time the venue was Vinexpo in Bordeaux. It was very much an Irish effort, however, because the feat was achieved by the Hot Irishman company based in Carlow, using their own Irish-coffee-in-a-bottle product. Here's company founder, Bernard Walsh, with the 70-litre glass of Irish coffee behind him:

We're fans of Bernard's at Irish Whiskey Notes because his company also bottles a couple of quality whiskeys from casks selected personally by Bernard himself, along with, more recently, a limited edition cask strength. And the good news is that there will be more limited editions, each different and unique to The Irishman range.
