Join me for My Distillery Chat with Sarah Dowling, Cooley Distillery's Head Blender. I have wanted to see beyond the gates of the iconic Cooley Distillery for years. I finally got the opportunity and Head Blender and ex Distillery Manager Sarah Dowling showed me around. To say it was amazing is an understatement. It turns out that Cooley is a little bit boutiquey..... not the behemoth that everyone thinks it is. It is medium craft distillery that has left a very large footprint on Irish Whiskey and it was an honour to be shown around by Sarah. Full disclosure: I had microphone issues for this podcast, but with a sprinling of magic and wizardry, I managed to isolate the voices and save the podcast. New mics have now been purchased........ ; ) This episode of the podcast is sponsored by: Irish Whiskey Auctions  www.boanndistillery.ie www.killowendistillery.com  Don't forget to sign up to my Patreon channel for early access episodes and more, for a few euros a month and help me deliver the best podcasts to you. https://www.patreon.com/whiskeychatspodcast I really hope you listening in to our chat.

He has worked around the world, helped and advised many of our current distilleries to get started, educated many of the distillers currently working in the whiskey industry through his teaching with the Institute of Brewing and Distilling and also found time to be a past president of the Irish Whiskey Society. I am skipping over alot of his career....... I've been looking forward to sitting and chatting with Jack for a couple of years now and we finally made it happen....... inside the ancient 'keep' that sits proudly alongside the reception of the hotel. It was a bit special.....

The revival of Irish whiskey is real - I have seen it first hand. And after traveling the entire island of Ireland and Northern Ireland, I can see first hand the results of a country's passion for its lost heritage. One of the men who was at the forefront of the new breed of Irish distillery owners is Jack Teeling. And Jack has been a part of two different phases of Irish whiskey's expansion beyond the one time monopoly of Irish Distillers, Ltd - first with his father John Teeling at Cooley Distillery and the second time as one of the new young guns of Irish whiskey when he opened Teeling Distillery in Dublin with his brother in 2015. Hear his story.

In episode 13 we talk to Alex Chasko Master Distiller and Blender at the Teeling Whiskey Company. Alex has been in charge of the distilling and maturation programme at Teeling since the company was founded in 2012 and the distillery was commissioned in 2015. He started off as a brewer in Portland Oregon and went on to study distilling at Herriot Watt before joining The Kilbeggan Distilling Company (aka Cooley Distillery). It is his work at Teeling that has been most noticeable and in many ways he has helped lead the revival in Irish distilling with some pioneering work on unconventional grains, wood types and barrel finished. As always he was great to talk to, unfortunately zoom caused us some technical problems and the sound quality suffered a bit. Hopefully it will not spoil your enjoyment too much. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/celtic-whiskey-pod/message

Alex Chasko isn't your typical Irish Whiskey master distiller and blender. For one, he isn't Irish. He grew up in Portland, Oregon and found his way to Ireland by falling in love - not with Irish Whiskey, but with the Irish-born woman who became his wife. Alex started out at Cooley Distillery, and when the Teeling family sold it at the end of 2011, he moved on with Jack and Stephen Teeling to start the Teeling Whiskey Company in Dublin. Four years after they fired up the stills for the first time in their Newmarket Square distillery, Teeling Pot Still Whiskey is on the market in Ireland and will soon be available in the United States, while one of their 24-year-old single casks won the World Whiskies Award for "Best Single Malt Whiskey" earlier this year. Even though his last name isn't Teeling, he's become part of the family...as you'll hear on WhiskyCast In-Depth. We'll also have details on this week's record-shattering whisky auction in London and the rest of the week's whisky news, along with some distillery ghost stories to get you in the mood for Halloween!

John Teeling is widely regarded as the father of the Irish whiskey renaissance. As a doctoral student at Harvard in 1970 he examined the collapse of Irish whiskey from having about 60% of world sales in 1850 and hundreds of distilleries, to becoming a monopoly in 1973 with less than 2% of Scotch sales. He made the decision to set up a new distillery.It took 16 years to get the resources to do so. In the meantime he lectured in Business Administration at University College Dublin and developed a series of mining and oil exploration companies. In 1986 he set up Cooley Distillery followed 19 years later with the re-opening the long closed Locke’s Distillery in Kilbeggan. The key element in Cooley was to have both column stills and pot stills. This enabled Cooley to distil and supply a full range of whiskies from heavily peated to single grain. Over the years a range of Irish whiskies appeared on shelves around the world.The venture took 11 years to make a profit and 15 years to payback but changing tastes in the early 2000s favoured Irish whiskey and sales boomed. Cooley was bought by Beam/Suntory in early 2012.In 2013 John re-entered the business by acquiring the Harp brewery in Dundalk and setting up the Great Northern Distillery. Two large distilleries came on stream in 2015, pot stills and column stills. Once again, The Great Northern is now supplying a wide range of new make malt, pot still and grain whiskey to small distillers, Private Label and Retail Own Label customers.John is married for 45 years to Deirdre with 3 children. Jack and Stephen have built the Teeling Whiskey Distillery in Dublin, the only operating distillery in the capital. Emma is a Professor of Science.John holds degrees from University College Dublin (B Comm., M Econ. Sc.), the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania (MBA) and a doctorate from Harvard Business School.Patrick Dalywww.albalogistics.com Author of the book International Supply Chain Relationships:Creating Competitive Advantage in a Globalized Economy See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There's no question that there is a fever for Japanese whisky, and while most people are familiar with Yamazaki and Nikka, there are more and more upstart distilleries beginning to make their way to the market every day. Enter Shinobu Distillery; this copper pot kettle distillate that blends itself with spirits from the Cooley Distillery in Ireland is bringing big flavors of mizunara oak and, in some cases, rice whisky. Devin Hawley joins us to chat about these spirits.--What we drank:Shinobu Blended MaltShinobu Pure MaltKujira 8 yearKujira 20 year--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesochttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoO-l4Ny3QJn2Mc7445qMrg--Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

I was lucky enough to spend some time in New York recently with Beam Suntory Irish Whiskey portfolio brand ambassador Janice Snowden who walked us through the tales and tastes of these amazing whiskey brands and their sister brand Connemara. The Kilbeggan and Cooley Distillery where these brands are distilled have played a vital role in the Irish whiskey industry of the distant past and indeed of the more recent past and if it wasn't for the vision of believers in the Irish whiskey category, we wouldn't have anything to report on today. Enjoy!

Oliver Hughes and his partners in Ireland's Porterhouse Group opened Dingle Distillery in late 2012, just as the Irish craft distilling boom was beginning. Dingle was Ireland's first new distillery in 25 years since the opening of Cooley Distillery in 1987, but Hughes barely got to see the first early bottlings of Dingle Whiskey before his death in 2016. Today, his family and colleagues have taken Oliver Hughes's dream and are building on it, with the first exports of Dingle's single malt whisky to the United States coming later this year. We'll visit the distillery and talk with some of the people carrying on that mission on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, there's a truce in the trade war between the U.S. and two key trading partners that should mean the end of punitive tariffs on American Whiskey exports. We'll have the details, along with the rest of the week's whisky news and much more. 

When Teelings Irish Whiskey opened it's doors in 2015, it was the first new Whiksey Distillery to put down roots in Dublin in nearly 125 years. It was founded by Jack and Stephen Teeling, whose father, John, founded the great Cooley Distillery. However, while Teeling's is rooted in a rich lineage of whiskey royalty, it's much more important to know that they make some delicious Irish Whiskey! This award winning line is sure to please the palate and our guest, Eanna Ryan, pairs this with the rich history of the Irish spirit!--What We Drank:Teeling's Small BatchTeeling's Single GrainTeeling's Single MaltTeeling's Single Barrel--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesoc--"Samba Isobel" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

  Come join your intrepid Spirit Guides for a wee bit o' the creature as we voyage back to the old sod for these and even more Irish clichés...

“Gather up the pots and the old tin cans... the mash, the corn, the barley and the bran...run like the devil from the excise man...keep the smoke from rising barney...keep your eyes well peeled today, the excise men are on their way...” And we all know what the ‘mountain tay’ the excise men were looking for in the hills of Connemara! Poitin. It’s long associated with illegality: first outlawed back in 1661, it was relatively recently, in 1997, when the Revenue Commissioners permitted the licensed sale of it within Ireland. Ella meets Mairtin MacConrai, a part time farmer from Leitir Moir, Connemara, who first made poitin with his father 50 years ago. She also visits Cooley Distillery in Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath where they are making 1,000 bottles of 65% proof poitin; she talks to head distiller Alex Chasko and manager, Brian Quinn.

Whisky and charity often go hand in hand, as whisky lovers raise thousands of dollars for those in need every year. In this episode, we'll hear from Inver House's Nial Mackinlay, who led a team of his colleagues on the UK's Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for Children First, the Royal Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. What is the Three Peaks Challenge? Climb the highest peaks in England, Scotland, and Wales...and do all three in under 24 hours. In the news, Cooley Distillery releases a new single grain Irish whiskey, and blogger/author Kevin Erskine's new edition of "The Instant Expert's Guide to Single Malt Scotch" has just been published...
