Whiskey Chats Laurie O’Dwyer

Join me for My Chat with Stephen D'alton, co-author of Wise's Irish Whiskey book.
Stephen recently collaborated with the legendary Midleton Master Distiller Emeritus Barry Crockett on a book detailing the story behind the distilling Wise family dynasty in Cork. 
The Wise's once ran the highest output Irish Whiskey distillery in the 1800's, at North Mall Distillery along the banks of the River Lee in Cork city, exporting to the far flung corners of the British Empire and the Americas.
Stephen and I had a fantastic, rambling, chat about their book and inevitably meandered our way to all sorts of topics.

Join me for My Chat with Bill Lark, the Godfather of Australian Whiskey.
Bill & his wife Lyn were responsible for reigniting the Australian whiskey industry in the early 90's. His brand Lark Distillery is still going and he is still involved in Lark Distillery in an ambassadorial role. His is a truly fascinating tale of what you can achieve when you set your mind on a lofty goal.

Join me for My Tasmanian Whiskey Garden Chat with Dan, Paul Costello & JP.
This Garden Chat was recorded a couple of months back. I was gifted a box of Tasmanian Whiskey samples from Transportation Whiskey founder John Halton up at Belfast Whiskey Week 2023, who is one of the biggest advocates for Irish Whiskey in Australia and Tassie Whiskey in Ireland. It is a selection from some of the many distilleries in Tasmania and it didn't disappoint.
JP O'Riordan, Dan Pennington and Paul Costello joined me in my back garden and we had a ball discovering all these new flavours.

Join me for My Chat with Alex Thomas, Master Blender with Bushmill's Distillery.
Alex has spent most of her career in Bushmill's. A couple of year's ago she was afforded the honour of developing her own brand within the distillery and so The Sextant was born. From there she progressed from Master Blender of The Sextant to Master Blender of Bushmills, a position she cherishes. It was amazing to hear the passion Alex has for her role and Bushmills is in safe hands with her as Master Blender.

Join me for My Chat with Ronan Collins from Redacted Independent Bottlers.
I met up with Ronan before Xmas in The Palace bar on Fleet St in Dublin. We had a great chat about Ronan and Michael Cowman's new Indy Bottler company, Redacted. 
Redacted have 2 releases to date - Killowen Single Cask and their new 200ml 'Naggin' series, the first being a 20yr old Single Grain from Cooley finished in a Barolo wine cask from Italy. They are both great releases IMHO.
I hope you enjoy the chat from the cosy atmosphere of The Palace bar.
