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.

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.
