My Irish Sea Boat Chat with Darryl McNally, Master Distiller
Join me for My Irish Sea Boat Chat with Darryl McNally, Master Distiller.
I was invited for a trip to the legendary Scottish Dsitilling town of Campbeltown, as part of a group from the Harbourview Hotel, on their hotel RHIB boat. As Ireland's first whiskey hotel, this is just one of their experiences that they offer.
As well as being Master Distiller at Bushmills Distillery for years, being integral seeting up Dublin Liberties Distillery and founding Limavaddy Irish Whiskey, Darryl is also involved in the Harbourview Hotel whiskey project.
On our way over to Campbeltown on the RHIB, as our group were having the craic all around us, we recorded a chat about his journey so far.

My Ahascragh Distillery Chat with Gareth McAllister
Join me for My Ahascragh Distillery Chat with Gareth McAllister.
I visited Garreth's Distillery in Ahascragh village, just east of Galway. What a little gem in this hidden heartland of canals, rivers and rolling hills.
Garreth and Michelle McAllister started production in their meticulously renovated mill buildings, that are again the beating heart of Ahascragh village.
They take immense pride in running the distillery on renewable energies and no expense has been spared in this project.
