Join me for My Chat with Brendan Carty from Killowen Distillery.  I made the long pilgrimage from Cork to Co. Down and visited Brendan at the smallest distillery in Ireland. He gave me a personal tour of his maturation warehouse, boutique distillery, fermentation yard, malting house and his office... but don't worry, they're all within 10ft of each other. I had a blast, have a listen in. My drop of the day was.....warm poitin, straight from the spout and newly barreled non-GI compliant peated Pot Still!  https://www.killowendistillery.com/ I hope you enjoy our chat, Sláinte.
