There’s True, And Then There’s Irish True
True Irish spirit isn’t really something you can manufacture. It’s a character that’s at once cozy and heartwarming, yet undeniably gritty and “real.” It’s a rare combination that demands an exceptional degree of authenticity–there’s an unwavering conviction that goes along with this treasured identity, and it’s something that doesn’t exactly necessitate celebration. Rather, the celebration comes natural.
The Parting Glass – A Short Film by Tullamore D.E.W. captures this ethos quite well. It’s an ethos rooted in resilience–one that acknowledges that life is tough, but instead opts to address that toughness with an admirably forgiving embrace. Aided of course, by a little bit of soul-warming whiskey.
