May 12, 2020 My chat with Julie Christie of Celtic Whiskey Bar and Celtic Whiskey Shop
Join me for my chat with Julie Christie from the Celtic Whiskey Bar and Larder in Killarney, Celtic Whiskey Shop, Irish Whiskey Live and Irish Whiskey Awards. She's a busy girl! I initially recorded the podcast in Bar 1661 in Dublin, courtesy of Dave Mulligan, the proprietor. He was kind enough to lend me his snug one morning in January........then I went home and deleted the recording! Disaster....but Julie kindly agreed to re-record the podcast, so I went down to Killarney to meet up. A few of the events that we discussed have since been postponed due to the current Covid-19 crisis, but I'm sure they'll be just as much of a success when they do get to happen. Have a listen in on our chat and I hope you enjoy; Slainte.

April 21, 2020 My Chat with Ned Gahan, Head Distiller at Waterford Distillery
I sat down for a chat with Ned Gahan, Head (not Master) Distiller in Waterford Distillery. I visited him last February, before the Grand Opening on Saturday 25th April was cancelled. (I mistakenly said the 24th April on the podcast!) We had a great chat about all the exciting releases to look forward from Waterford and how much their policy of 'Terroir' affects their whiskey. You will have to forgive me for the sound quality on this episode, It's what happens when you haven't got a clue what you're at! ; )

My drop of the night is........well, experimental blends and new make from Waterford Distillery! But trust me, they tasted amazing!
