Dial an Irish toast

On St. Patrick's Day, Coum Egan, Master Distiller of Bushmills Irish Whiskey, shares some of his favorite Irish toasts at 1-800-BUSHMILLS.

"The most important aspect of any toast is the words themselves," says Egan. "The toasts are often short poems, mixing great tidings with a bit of whimsy and a large dose of Irish charm."

Some of Egan's favorite toasts are:

"May the sound of happymusic, and the lilt of Irish laughter, fill your heart with gladness, that stays forever after."

"May your blessings outnumber the Shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you go."
