This week on Inside the Ropes, we tee up four unforgettable stories:

• A Limerick pub makes history as Whiskey Bar of the Year.

• A “purest shot” turns into a 9-iron moon launch straight into trouble.

• Sergio Garcia waves from the tarmac as the Ryder Cup jet takes off without him.

• And the GolfCask Syndicate uncovers Denmark’s Stauning Rye—aka Danish Whiskey Bread.
