With the frivolity in full swing, our new brand ambassador Silamith Weir was on hand to serve the punch and showcase our Collection to the bar and cocktail community, who joined in the fun. Many influential mixologists really loved the brand, with the Single Malt emerging as the prominent favourite.
There was a drive to collect blankets and clothes, and about $2000 was raised to help keep the homeless community warm this winter. We’re really proud to have been a part of the event. Thanks you to all who turned up and we hope you enjoyed yourself!

The Queen of England’s New Years Honours List has been revealed – and has tow very familiar names on it. Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke are both being honoured for their services to sport.
On Boxing Day night we’ll be sponsoring a charity event at the Spare Room in The Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles.
The event has been set up in support of The Hospitality Kitchen. This charity is a Skid Row soup kitchen . It’s known as the ‘Hippie Kitchen’ and offers aid to those who truly need it.
Designed by Studio Collective, the newly renovated Spare Room opened in January 2011 has a distinct character and beacons in the stylish trendsetters. The Spare Room offers a unique night out, boasting two vintage reclaimed bowling lanes and backgammon tables. Tucked away in a secret location is secret photo booth, which is rumoured to be somewhere near the bowling shoes area. It’s worth a look, as you could come away with some back and white photo booth pictures to add to the photo albums.
The Spare Room has already attracted celebrity patrons (including Ryan Gosling) and is quickly becoming a sensational part of Los Angeles nightlife. We’re really excited to get The Wild Geese Irish Soldiers & Heroes* mixing it up in such a mesmerising location.
If you’re in the area, come down and show you’re support in a remarkable location.

We’ve just found images of the largest wave to be recorded off the Irish coast. A major Atlantic swell produced a wave of 20.4m during a week of stormy weather and rough seas at Mullaghmore Head. An M4 weather buoy recorded this record-breaking size last Tuesday.
But while this would be bad news for most of the country, Jayce Robinson, a professional surfer and former top Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) European junior took to the waters to ride the biggest waves Ireland has seen.
Robinson was in Ireland training for the second annual Billabong and Monster Tow-in season, but turned out to be making history off of Ireland’s coast. But the record-breaking stormy conditions meant that Robinson was came away with a dislocated knee:
But like the Men of Action our brand celebrates, this injury isn’t going to put him off and he’s already thinking about future trips to Ireland to experience these one-of-a-kind waves.
We’ve just got back from the BBC Good Food Show, which took place in Birmingham, UK.
Thanksgiving has become a intricate part of life in the United States. It’s a time to look around oneself and appreciate all that one has achieved and been blessed with.
After beating Estonia on aggregate, the Irish national football will be heading to the UEFA European Championship next year.
Ireland’s battle with Estonia took place over two matches. The first was hosted in Tallinn last Friday (11/11/11), where Ireland emerged with an impressive 4-0 victory. The second match took place in Dublin this past Tuesday (15/11/11).
In a packed Aviva Stadium, Stephen Ward secured a goal in the 31st minute. Although it looked like Ireland’s European campaign was a sure thing, Estonia battled back with a goal from captain Konstantin Vassiljev.
But as the whistle blew at full time, Ireland were through to Euro 2012 with a victory of 5-1 (on aggregate).
Check out these images from Tyler Roemer, a photographer who specialises in Outdoor Adventure.
His latest task as been to ascend Mount Hood at Timberline Ski Resort in Oregon, US, with a group of professional skiers. At more than 3,350m (11,000ft) the skiers performed stunts as they glided above the clouds, allowing Roemer to capture some heavenly images.
Tyler Roemer ‘strives to get off the beaten path by using his extensive knowledge in the outdoor field to get him the next shot’. These latest images combine a sublime elegance with the raw excitement of extreme sports.
Take a look at this video! On a huge 90ft wave, you can just make out the silhouette of Garrett McNamara who broke a world record for the biggest wave ever surfed.
