I didn't try the Pappy Rye at first since I could see the bottle was nearly empty and probably not enough there for a healthy pour. Then I noticed that there was another full bottle right behind it! Ditto for the Bourbon. No shortage of Pappy here.
just to let you guys know, an Irish bar will pour a standard measure of 35.5ml (1.2oz), whereas a UK bar has a standard measure of just 25ml (0.8oz)
