Thank you for the positive energy and support during our first year of this epic journey!

It’s been a rollercoaster ride, with trips to Germany, Italy, France, Ireland, Scotland, England, Croatia, Greece, Switzerland and beyond — meeting with so many wonderful people dedicated to their craft and willing to lend some time to our ever-so-slightly eccentric international collaborative art project!

Notable highlights included our launch on Bloomsday / June 16th on the roof of the Martello Tower in Sandycove with friends and family, the packed masterclass at Whiskey Live in the RDS, the extraordinary kindness and support from Ally Alpine and his team at The Celtic Whiskey Shop, David McWilliams and his team at Kilkenomics, my mother Karin and father Paul, who have very carefully been tending to our Clongowes Wood College oak saplings. I am especially proud of the dozens of blog posts we managed to publish this past year on all sorts of insightful, coincidental and often bizarre tapestry of stories that connects Joyce, Ulysses and all of us, as much today as when the novel was first written.

Thank you Tereza, Oliver, Dominika, Nina, John, Alex, Sam, Derek, Sean, Gavan, Karl, Stuart, Jan, Ajit, Tomas, Pavel, Matouš, Darragh, Ladislav, Enda, Bobby, Dan, Marcel, Jamie, Matej, James and Elisa; Rose, Ruth, Paudge, Alexander and Sarah at Kilbeggan; Clare, Cosimo, Guy, Morgan, Sophie and James at Stranger & Stranger; Stephan, Eoin, Julia, Darko, Konstantin, Dmitry, Mirko, Nathalie-Anne, Daniel, Tom, Donnchadh, Donal, Robert, Barry, Patrick, Sietse, Eoin H., Ben, Ryan and everybody else for your support, encouragement and above all -- for sharing the journey.

We look forward to celebrating the publication of Ulysses on Joyce's birthday, February 2nd 2025, and to releasing Ulysses Whiskey x Art, Episode 2 - Nestor on Bloomsday, June 16th 2025. See you there!

Best wishes, Paul
