Join me for My Live Festival Chat Noel Sweeney - Master Distiller.

Noel is famous for his amazing time as Master Distiller at Cooley Distillery, where he became responsible for releasing alot of the amazing Irish whiskeys that we all love today. His Cooley malts and single grains are still being released by different brands and bottlers to this day, to massive plaudits.

Right now, one of Noel's focuses is on his blended whiskey from his collaboration with the famous dancer Michael Flatley called...... Flatley Whiskey. He was at the Cork on a Fork festival in Cork in August 2024, where we sat down for a Live audience chat, as one of the many events at the festival.

Join me for My Live Chat at Cork on a Fork Festival

I was asked to do a number of Live podcasts at a recent foodie festival in Cork - Cork on a Fork.

I set up a podcast studio in the top floor bar of Cork Opera House in August 2024, in front of a Live audience, where my guests and I shared some very interesting drinks and chats.

My 3 guests were:

Mark Lonergan - ex-manager of The Shelbourne Whiskey Bar in Cork

Barry Walsh from Killahora Orchards

Liam Murray - President of Cork Whiskey Society

It was an afternoon of fine guests, fine drinks and some fine chats.

Join me for My McConnell's Distillery Chat with Graham Millar, Head Distiller.

Myself and Sonya visited McConnel's Distillery, in the old Crumlin Road Jail in Belfast, whilst up at Belfast Whiskey Week 2024.

Graham showed us around their amazing converted and renovated centuries old prison wing, that is now their Distillery!

The project was started over a decade ago by another party and the current shareholders were able to finally complete the earlier vision this year, by turning on the stills and starting to produce again, as one of only 2 distilleries now in Belfast city, once one of the powerhouses of whiskey production in the British empire.
