Join me for My Chat with John O'Connell in West Cork Distillers in Skibbereen.
My wife Sonya and I visited John on a very, very rainy Saturday afternoon and we were welcomed with open arms. What an amazing distillery John O'Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy have built. Supporting well over 200 local jobs in their locality, buying only Irish grain for use in the distillery and running over 16 different stills with 4 more in production, this is an impressive large craft operation.
You will not find a more intelligent, gentle and humble person in the Irish whiskey industry than John O'Connell.
A big thanks to Cathal O'Brien from West Cork Distillers for arranging this for me.
