Show Notes
What happens when an old whiskey label uncovers a forgotten chapter of Irish whiskey history?
In this episode of That’s the Spirit, we travel to the wild Atlantic coast of County Clare to discover J.J. Corry, the Irish whiskey bonder bringing a lost tradition back to life. From an antique shop discovery to a family farm in the west of Ireland, we explore how Louise McGuane reimagined the art of whiskey bonding, bringing together spirits from different distilleries to create something entirely their own.
We'll uncover the story behind the name and explore three distinctive whiskeys: The Gael, The Hanson and The Flintlock. Along the way, we look at the influence of cask selection, the patience of maturation and the people keeping Ireland's whiskey heritage moving forward.
Rooted in the landscapes of County Clare, this is a story of rediscovery, craftsmanship and the enduring spirit of Irish whiskey.
Pour yourself a dram, settle in, and join me for a journey into the people, places and stories behind the whiskey. Sláinte! 🥃 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
