Join me for My Master Cooper Chat with Darren Leonard. Darren is a Master Cooper, not Head Cooper, above in Dair Nua Cooperage in Foxford, Co Mayo. He is a Master Cooper because he has successfully qualified an apprentice underneath him. He is passionate about the craft of coopering and retaining the Irish traditions of coopering that Ger Buckley, Midleton Master Cooper, has "legacied" into the small band of coopers and trainees in Ireland. The whole cooper community in Ireland leaves me in awe at their skill and passion for the heritage of the craft. Darren himself apprenticed under John Neely, a famous Scottish cooper who plied his trade in Ireland, up until his untimely passing in 2018. It's so great to see Darren continuing on and building a legacy in Irish Coopering.

Joe Molloy was joined by Ger Buckley to discuss the Ash Dieback disease which is rapidly destroying the ash tree across Ireland. Ash Dieback was first identified here in October 2012 and has been wreaking havoc ever since. Ger explored with us the inadequate ways in which the Irish government has responded to the crisis, and how it will impact both the art of hurley-making and the materials used in the creation of hurleys.

In episode 5 of our second series, I talk to two coopers working in different areas of the Irish whiskey trade. Wood is such an important part of the whiskey making process and without good quality casks we would not have all the wonderfully diverse brands of whiskey available to try. Ger Buckley probably needs no introduction. He is a 5th generation cooper working at Midleton Distillery and has been a great ambassador for the distillery and Irish whiskey in general. I was struck by his wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for art of coopering, I have no doubt you will enjoy our conversation. In the second part of this episode we get an alternative viewpoint from a fairly new cooperage and their lead cooper Ian Leonard. Kentucky Bourbon Barrel opened their premises in Newbridge last year and are already servicing dozens of distilleries and whiskey bonders around the country. It was a refreshing turn in the conversation to hear about a new company hitting the ground running and I have no doubt the company will go from strength to strength. Many thanks to everyone who helped in getting this podcast recorded, and special thanks to Ger and Ian for taking time out of their busy schedules. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/celtic-whiskey-pod/message

Ger Buckley is the fifth-generation cooper at Ireland's Midleton Distillery, but had no one to pass the torch to. In fact, there hadn't been an apprentice cooper at any Irish distillery for nearly four decades...but Ger was able to convince Irish Distillers that the tradition needed to be kept alive for another generation. 21-year-old Killian O'Mahony has just signed on for a four-year apprenticeship...he and Ger join us for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, we pay tribute to the late Lincoln Henderson, Buffalo Trace plans to keep honoring the late Elmer T. Lee, and the latest on this year's Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. This week's tasting notes include Wild Turkey's new Forgiven...an accidental blend of Rye and Bourbon.
