Join me for My Midleton Micro Distillery Chat with Barrett Stapleton - Head Distiller in the Micro.

Barrett originally hails from the US and has beat a really interesting path to his current position in Midleton Distillery.

He came back to Ireland at the end of Covid, after studying in UCC in the early 00's, to start work distilling in Clonakilty Distillery. 

From Electrician to Scuba Instructor, from Hawaii to Antarctica, I am so glad that none of those things dissuaded Barrett from joining the Irish Whiskey fraternity, because he is a genuine, passionate, bubbly character whose passion is infectious.

He's my kinda guy and I think after listening to this chat, you'll understand why it's so important to have people like this in the Irish Whiskey Industry.
