1. Redbreast 12 Year Old ($60)

Berkey and Pontoni both chose Redbreast 12-
year-old among their selections. "It's a classic ex-
ample of pure pot-still style, with loads of apples
and pear fruit character, and an oily, almost buttery
palate," says Pontoni. He's referring to a style of
production characterized by a mixture of malted
and unmalted barley in the mash bill, along with
pot-still distillation.
Berkey is also a fan of the whiskey for the tasting
experience. "It has an almost velvety mouthfeel,
and it allows you to pick out some of the finer fla-
vors, with a distinct fruity Irish sweetness," he
says.
"Redbreast 12 straddles the line between the
light, fruity style most people associate with Irish
whiskey and the richer, more layered style of
scotchsingle malt," says Pontoni. "This is a great
example of the quintessential Irish style of distil-

THERE'S A DESK ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE
The information contained in this column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of The Local News
FILLED WITH WHAT SURPRISING ITEM?
I
n 1965, Republican Senator
George Murphy, from Cal-
ifornia, began keeping his
desk stocked with candy to sa-
tiate his sweet tooth. His col-
leagues quickly figured out
where to get the good stuff, and
even started adding their own
favorite confections to Mur-
phy's desk. Ever since then, the
senator who is assigned to Mur-
phy's old seat has been tasked
with keeping the stash stocked,
traditionally with candy from
their home state, according to
the Hill. Today the desk be-
longs to Senator Pat Toomey,
who keeps it filled with goodies
from Pennsylvania — notably,
Hershey's.

Such a Huge Egoé:

This Add-On Turns Your Van, SUV,
or Wagon Into a Pseudo-Camper
The Egoé Nestbox nests in the cargo area of your vehicle and
basically turns it into a camper
We all make mistakes. Sure your van,
crossover SUV, or wagon seemed like a smart
purchase decision a few years ago, but now you
want a camper The #VanLife is calling and
you're tired of sending it straight to voice mail.
That's where Egoé steps in with its array of
Nestboxes. Ranging in price from approxi-
mately $2,500 to more than $4,000, the Nestbox
adds a kitchen, bed, or both to your run-of-the-
mill vehicle.
The Czech Republic company builds its boxes
with the European market in mind, so many of
its kits are compatible with vehicles not sold in
the United States. There are some exceptions;
Egoé's largest Nestbox, the Roamer, fits the
Mercedes-Benz Metris (otherwise known as the
Vito across the pond), its off-road Supertramp
compatible model fits the Land Rover LR4 (or
Discovery 4), and its smallest option (the
Camper) fits the Subaru Forester, Subaru
Tribeca, Volvo XC60, and, once again, the Land
Rover LR4. (The Camper also fits within the
confines of the Passat wagon's cargo bay, how-
ever, we're unable to confirm if that includes
those of earlier generation models, which Volk-
swagen sent to the U.S. )
A full set of Nestbox inserts includes a mini-
fridge, small stove, sink, and a folding bed that
measures in as long as 79.5 inches (Roamer)
and as short as 77.0 inches (Supertramp and

Camper). If you need even more space, Egoé
will sell you a rooftop tent for approximately
$2,800.
Nevertheless, shipping a Nestbox from the
Czech Republic to the U.S. is likely breathtak-
ing, if the company's even willing to do so, al-
though a large enough wad of money can be
very persuasive. We've reached out to Egoé
about the Nestbox's global availability, but have
yet to hear back.
While the Nestbox models' utility and chic de-
sign certainly attract our attention, it's far from
the only game in town when it comes to cargo- crossover SUV. You could also go a step further always the option to sell your current car and
bay-based camper kit. The Nomad Kitchen, for and send your rig off to an upfitter for a camper just buy a full-fledged camper such as the Mer-
