Yes it does refer to the IRA bombings on Bloody Friday which is sensitive for a lot of people. It's believed that supporting the drink supports the acts associated with it's name.
But with all that said the drink is still really good!

i was skeptical at first, maybe even a little timid, but after my first one, i was ready to blow some shit up.

In Ireland it's almost suicide to order this drink. I've heard the drink refers to the IRA car bombings and a lot of Irish bartenders will refuse to sell it.

tastes like a Snickers bar!

It's called an "Irish Car Bomb" because all three ingredients are from Ireland. By law, Irish whiskey must be produced in Ireland and aged in wooden casks for a period of not less than three years.

A "Car Bomb" includes straight grain whiskey which is an American whiskey that has been aged in charred new oak containers for two years.

So in other words, if you ask for a "Car Bomb, you get cheaper, less tasteful whiskey and pay the same price. I recommend asking for the "Irish Car Bomb" which makes it 100% Irish and then cheers to John Jameson out of respect.

Worst hangover of life... i don't remember anything after the fifth one.

Yeah your missing the fact that you spaced it OUT! Hopefully you had something in between those! Anybody can walk straight after having 4 drinks in three hours.

I may just be able to handle it but i had 4 in 3 hours and was still walking straight... did i miss something?

I had a few of these the other night and by the end I was hugging a pole at the bar... I love it

Delicious & does the job quick! Enjoy judiciously or you will be appearing before judges to 'splain yourself!

By Dae on January 12th, 2009 at 03:22:57

I don't know how many I had that night... All I know is my liver hurts just thinking about it... I'd do it all again though.

I asked a fellow of Irish descent if he had ever had an "Irish Car-Bomb" and he about took my head off. I'm not into the PC thing but he suggested I refer to the drink as simply "Car-Bomb" and leave the Irish out of it.
Great drink either way.

I had this the other day for the first time at an Irish only club called "The Order of the Hibernians". This shit was amazing!

By eugene01 on December 13th, 2008 at 15:11:50

It will trash you out, quick.

By jj on December 8th, 2008 at 20:31:24

yes drink it fast or it will curdle

By Grim on October 26th, 2008 at 22:47:51

My IRISH bartenders use at least a 3/4 pint..

And they are more likely to get offended if you do not call it an Irish Car Bomb
