Podcast appearances and mentions of mark reynier

Waterford Distillery founder Mark Reynier isn't giving up on his dream, even though the distillery went into receivership last week. As he tells us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth, he's putting together an investor group to bid on Waterford's assets when they go up for auction in January. We'll talk with Reynier about Waterford's failure and where things went wrong on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Brown-Forman is taking pre-emptive steps to guard against the impact of potential trade tariffs, while Chivas Brothers has filed for planning permission to build a distillery on Islay. We'll also have details on the latest holiday whisky releases and much more. 

Mark, founder of the ground-breaking terroir-driven Waterford Whisky in Ireland and Renegade Rum in Grenada, is going through the grinder of both being in receivership*, and made time for a chat with me. Mark is very open on the 'pod about the factors that led to the current situation, and there are some real nuggets in here, such as Waterford being French powerhouse distributor La Maison du Whisky's 5th best-selling whisky, why Waterford never did private casks, why you need to go deep, not wide (especially in the USA) and why whisky before the OPEC crisis of 1973 was better. We're all hoping Mark  - who is assembling an investment syndicate to bid for the assets - can regain control of the companies when the assets are auctioned in January, as I don't think anyone can realise the promise of Waterford and Renegade that isn't named Mark Reynier. *Ireland, where Waterford Whisky is based, doesn't have similar options to the USA's Chapter 11 "protection from creditors"-type of insolvency laws.

Mark is one of the most interesting people you could meet in the liquor business; drawing on his and his father's experiences importing and selling fine wines in his native England, he applied the logic of terroir to spirits, starting back in 2000 when he led a consortium of investors who bought the mothballed Bruichladdich distillery.Mark and the team he assembled built Bruichladdich back into one of the most respected single malt distilleries in the world. After Remy acquired the distillery and its brands (including Botanist gin) in 2012, Mark started looking around for his next project, which became starting the hyper-transparent Waterford Whisky distillery in 2016 because "the south west of Ireland produces the best barley in the world". Never a man to sit still, he founded Renegade Rum in Grenada in 2020, re-starting sugarcane production on the island and building a state-of-the-art distillery.   This is a short (for us) episode, but Mark packs in a whole ton of information, so sit back, relax and listen to me interview a terroirist!

Waterford Distillery founder Mark Reynier has no shortage of opinions about how he feels whisky should be made, and he's putting those opinions into the bottle. Reynier has butted heads with the whisky establishment many times over the years because of his passion for flavor above all else, critics be damned. He'll share some of his opinions with us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Compass Box founder John Glaser is stepping down after 23 years, while there's both good and bad news about whisky exports.

Mark Reynier has a lot to say about terroir, but this isn't a wine episode. While Mark does have an extensive wine background, his passion now is spirits terroir. After re-establishing Bruichladdich, he founded Waterford Whisky in Ireland and the Renegade Rum Distillery in Grenada. This week on Barrel to Bottle, we're sampling Waterford single malts and Renegade rum, while Mark shares his thoughts on barley and sugar cane terroir.  Waterford Single Farm Origin Dunbell Irish Single Malt Edition 1.1 Waterford Single Farm Origin Dunmore Irish Single Malt Edition 1.1 Waterford Peated Fenniscourt Irish Single Malt Waterford The Cuvee Irish Single Malt If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, email us at comments@binnys.com, or reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Cheers,Scott and JakeBourbon Lens   About Waterford Whisky: With over a hundred exclusive farms of Irish-grown barley, Waterford searches for natural flavors via three paths: The Single Farm Origin series pursues the individualism of terroir-derived flavor; Cuvées, a mix of the farms to explore harmony and complexity of flavor; and the Arcadian Farm Origin series expresses the intensity of flavor from alternative philosophies and long-forgotten varieties. Each bottle of Waterford comes with a Téireoir code, with every detail regarding the origins of the whisky. From agricultural data, information on the production process, interviews with the farmer and even a SoundCloud recording of the farm, drinkers are invited to gain a deeper understanding of their dram. About Mark Reynier - Founder & CEO: Waterford founder and CEO Mark Reynier has over 40 years' experience in the drinks industry – 20 years in wine, and 20 years in spirits. A maverick entrepreneur who has done perhaps more than any other figure to bring terroir to the spirits world, he began his career in the London wine trade in 1980, formed La Réserve – one of London's premier wine & spirit merchants – before resurrecting the mothballed Bruichladdich Distillery in 2000. The distillery was sold to Rémy Cointreau in 2012. Reynier then bought the former Guinness brewery in Waterford in 2014, transforming a state-of-the-art brewery into a modern distillery. Reynier has also begun proving these same principles in rum through his new brand Renegade Rum in Grenada and in July 2018 commenced building the game-changing $30 million (USD) Renegade Rum Distillery.

Le terroir n'a aucun effet sur la vigne, ni sur le vin qui en découle. Ça sonne bizarre non ?   On sait bien que le vin a des caractéristiques différentes selon les régions où il est produit.   Pourquoi ça serait différent pour le whisky ? Le climat, le sol, la topographie ont forcément un impact sur l'orge qui permettra de le produire, non ?   Mark Reynier a accepté de nous expliquer sa vision au micro d'Eau-de-Vie.   Créateur génial, à l'origine du renouveau de la distillerie Bruichladdich et de la fondation de Waterford, il nous éclaire dans ce nouvel épisode sur sa démarche et la mise en place de ses expérimentations fructueuses.   Et pour les plus curieux, on vous propose une seconde partie d'épisode avec Dustin Herb, docteur en sélection génétique des plantes à l'université de l'État de l'Oregon.   Alors, prêts pour vous laisser étonner par l'orge ? Pour découvrir l'univers de Waterford  

In this episode, we complete our interview with Renegade Rum's Mark Reynier and Jane Nurse (we released Part 1 last week, and you can check it out here).In Part 2, we get deeper into the production process of the rum and how each stage can impact terroir (for example, using cultured vs. wild yeast). They also took us through the long-term vision for Renegade's releases (which is quite different from the releases we've seen so far), the broader conversation around transparency in rum, and much more!Relevant Links:The Renegade Rum Website"Why We're Not Interested in Tallying Esters" - an article on Renegade's site that we reference near the end of this episodeP.S.

In this episode, we sit down with Renegade Rum's Mark Reynier and Jane Nurse to learn all about the Grenada distillery's terroir-driven approach to cane juice rum. This is one of the newest distilleries of its size in the Caribbean, and the path to bringing it to life was not easy. In Part 1, Mark and Jane take us through the winding journey of not only building a distillery from scratch, but also planting hundreds of acres of sugarcane across an array of locations around the island in an effort to highlight all the flavors the land has to offer. We discuss:How an Englishman got the idea to build a rum distillery from scratch in the CaribbeanWhy Grenada became the ideal location for the projectHow Mark's experience starting Bruichladdich Distillery in Scotland and Waterford Distillery in Ireland informed RenegadeThe setbacks that nearly killed the project multiple timesWhat terroir means in the first place (and how Renegade thinks about the concept)Why terroir in spirits has drawn heavy debate and controversyAnd moreP.S.

Mary Reynier is one of the biggest names in whisky, particularly Scotch. More than two decades ago he saw the future in a derelict distillery. That distillery was Bruichladdich. Not only did he and his team revive the reputation of the brand but they also revolutionized Scotch and played a major role in the whisky renaissance we are experiencing today. He recently began a new venture in Ireland with Waterford Distillery and is continuing to shake things up. Support the show

We are slightly late this week but we are here! For several months now, one of the co-hosts of The incredible PODCASK podcast has been predicting a "Divisional Shift" coming to bourbon. This week the hosts of the Podcask join me and the Bourbon Junkies return to debate the prediction. The question is simply this. Is Greeze the Bourbon Prophet trying to warn us all of the impending doom in Bourbon? Or do I owe the Bourbon Junkies an Apology for forcing them to sit through this? Time for you to decide. . .

In this first instalment of a double-header we talk to Mark Reynier, former major stakeholder of Bruichladdich Distillery and now owner of Waterford Distillery in Ireland and the new Renegade Rum Distillery in Grenada. Mark has had quite a journey through various facets of the drinks industry. It would seem that at times he has been in the right place at the right time, but in reality he is one of those rare people who seem to be able to spot opportunities where many others see potential disaster. His revival of Bruichladdich Distillery is probably somewhat taken for granted these days but at the time it was a gamble, one that fortunately paid off. The sale of his stake in the company helped fund the Waterford Distillery which has been shaking things up in Ireland, and more recently the Renegade Rum in Grenada. Mark likes to court controversy, disrupter is a word often used in the tech industry but in the spirits industry there a few who have managed to change so much in such a short space of time. He's been a target for many who are keen to rubbish some of his ideas like 'Terroir' in whiskey. I was also a skeptic on this subject matter, after listening to Mark I am now more convinced but still want to see the proof in the taste of the finished product! We had a long conversation and you can catch the second instalment shortly. Sláinte! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/celtic-whiskey-pod/message

This is the second chapter of our double-header podcast with Mark Reynier from Waterford Distillery in Ireland and Renegade Rum Distillery in Grenada. In this podcast we delve into the concept of Terroir (soil, microclimate, terrain and latitude etc) and how it has an effect on distilling from both barley and sugar cane. I myself have been a sceptic on this topic in the past but a recent paper commissioned by Waterford has proven that Terroir does change the character of spirit. We discuss the paper, the farms and practices such as biodynamic and organic farming and a lot more. It is not 100% neccesary that you listen to chapter 1 of this podcast first, but we would recommend it! You can find Paper 1 on Terroir at Waterford following the link here: https://waterfordwhisky.com/element/the-whisky-terroir-project-paper-one/ Thanks to Mark Reynier for a great chat!

Leading Irish visual artist, Leah Hewson, has released her latest work, but you won't find it in a gallery or exhibition. Partnering with Waterford Distillery, Hewson has created Binary Assimilation – an original artwork for the bottle label of the distillery's flagship single malt whisky coming this autumn: The Cuvéee. Hewson's aim was to celebrate the 'many layers and complexities within Waterford's distillation process and the immense sensory experience of consumption'. Waterford's unique methodology is terroir-driven. The concept, which is commonly practised by the world's greatest winemakers, is based on the principle that factors such as weather, soil, and microclimate influence the flavours found in barley and the whisky made from it. To make its multiple award-winning Single Farm Origin whiskies, Waterford Distillery maintains the integrity of each crop of barley by harvesting, storing, malting and distilling it separately. Each Single Farm Origin has been produced separately using barley grown only on individual terroirs throughout the South of Ireland. This individuality can be celebrated in its own right, but the ultimate aim is to layer these component spirits together – in precisely the same manner as a Grand Vin in Burgundy, or Grand Cuvée in Champagne – for ultimate complexity. The whole, greater than simply the sum of its parts. This means – for the first time in whisky production anywhere – Waterford Distillery is assembling 23 different Single Farm Origin component single malts to create the definitive Waterford Whisky: The Cuvéee. It is a lodestar for the brand and a milestone bottling. Leah Hewson's original artwork reflects the intricate nature of such a milestone product. Two computer-generated images that are depicted in paint have been divided into strips and overlaid with opaque and transparent red and green stripes, and a neon squiggle in to create 'ambiguity and illusion'. Leah Hewson said: ”Binary Assimilation celebrates the many layers and complexities of Waterford's approach to whisky production. The brand's scientific and methodical approach reflects my own and this provided an inspiration to sync art, flavour and character into something visually striking. By building the piece in layers through colour, I was able to create new dimensional effects to match the concept of The Cuvéee.” Mark Reynier, Founder and CEO of Waterford Distillery said: “This is no ordinary whisky – it's our lodestar, a key milestone on our terroir-driven journey – our raison d'etre. Its vision, evolution derived from unprecedented logistics, merits an equally outstanding label. We commissioned one of Ireland's leading artists, Leah Hewson, to create a contemporary image that was unlike another whisky label. One that shared the elemental construct, evoking vibrancy, a bold statement and a multi-layered feel. A label unlike any other, for a whisky unlike any other.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/irishwhiskeyreview/message

Does Waterford Distillery's approach matter to whisky drinkers? What do those who buy the whisky think about terroir and the data it gives access to? Can there be too much information shared?   In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky Podcast, we hear from those who drink the whisky to try to get a better understanding of what matters to them, what they like and dislike about the whisky and we'll hear how whisky drinkers' expectations of their whisky producers have changed over the past few years.   We'll also hear from founder Mark Reynier about his hopes for how Waterford's whisky is enjoyed.

Terroir - a word and approach more associated with wine making than whisky making has had its critics and detractors since the first day Mark Reynier announced he was building a distillery on its very premise. In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, we hear from whisky industry experts and enthusiasts who paint a picture of a whisky industry that has followed a certain approach to whisky making for many years and how Waterford Distillery’s pursuit of a barley and a flavour-forward process has been met with raised eyebrows and criticism from whisky producers and consumers alike. We’ll hear how early criticisms led to the establishment of a scientific study to determine conclusively whether terroir has a verifiable impact on whisky’s flavour and we’ll pose some of the criticisms leveled against this terror-driven approach to those inside the distillery.

Waterford Whisky has been years in the making. Before the establishment of the distillery and before terroir-driven spirit flowed from the stills on the banks of the River Suir, founder Mark Reynier spent a career in the wine and Scotch whisky world. Inspired by a different approach to the growing of vines and barley, Mark applied the insights gleaned in the years prior to his arrival in Waterford to the planning of a very different type of whisky distillery.   In this first episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, Mark Reynier opens up about the events that led him to Ireland’s South East and shares with host Barry Chandler how he set about building a new approach to whisky making from farm to bottle.   This episode takes us all the way back to the beginning - to the genesis of an idea and what it took to bring the idea of terroir-driven whisky to life.

Starting behind the locked gates of an abandoned distillery, Jim McEwan and Mark Reynier share their personal experiences of the risk-taking and wild experimentation they used to turn Bruichladdich into what it is today. The film takes you on the journeys of other early visionaries like Gordon & MacPhail, Billy Walker, Dr. Rachel Barrie and David Stewart, whose mixture of talent, chemistry, hard work, grit, and a little sprinkle of magic paved the way for the next generation of innovators like Adam Hannett, Kelsey McKechnie, Liam Hughes, Iain Croucher, and Eddie Brook. https://wateroflifefilm.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/irishwhiskeyreview/message

The hot water thus recovered can be incorporated in the first water for mashing purposes.” ”If a condenser is used in a system that recovers sensible heat from the outflowing water at an elevated temperature (>80 °C), a subcooler post-condenser will be required to chill the spirit to less than 20 °C to protect and enable spirit-safe instruments to record reliable readings.” ”In some distilleries, the condenser water is regulated to outflow at around 80 °C. This hot condenser water can be pumped through a mechanical vapour compressor or a steam ejector, with the flash steam produced being used to drive the still. Such techniques require the use of a spirit subcooler to ensure that the low wines are collected at a temperature no higher than 20 °C.” Denis A.

We follow up last weeks great discussion with the Bourbon Junkies with the ineffable Matthew McConaughey. We talk about his new memoir, Greenlights. We discuss family, marriage, raising kids and embarrassing ourselves in front of other celebrities.  We of course talk about Wild Turkey and I pitch to him a couple ideas that Todd Grube and I came up with. Todd rendered a few graphics for our pitch and you know what.... I think you'd be surprised at his response.

Another comparison episode, but I am a wee bit more prepared for this one. The Octomore Masterclass 8.2 (167ppm @ 58.4) vs. the Octomore 10.1 (107ppm @ 59.8). The brain child of Jim McEwan and Mark Reynier, Octomore rounded out the triple threat from Bruichladdich. Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte and Octomore would give the distillery a wide reach in single malt expressions. Octomore being the HEAVILY peated offerings, would ignite a cult following of legendary status. Don't let the PPM's scare you. I was afraid and now I believe. The 8.2 is a fruity dessert of complex flavors with a delightful twist of smoke within, likely a result of the wine casks used in the maturation. The 10.1 is a delightful blend of bourbon notes and classic Bruichladdich, sweet vanilla caramel with a smokey oak giving way to a delectable dark chocolate, toffee salty seaweed. Both bottles are high proof, yet easy to drink. I am now a believer.

Es ist Sonntag, draußen ist das Wetter endlich mal so, dass man ruhigen Gewissens drin bleiben kann. Was gibt es da besseres, als eine neue Folge Dram Good? Nicht viel, wie wir meinen! Heute starten wir direkt mit der Verkostung des Craigellachie 17 aus dem Herzen der Speyside. Ein Malt, der rein äußerlich viel verspricht und auch mit seinen inneren Werten überzeugen kann. Wir sind zumindest ziemlich angetan. Weiter geht es mit Tims Bericht über das letzte Blindtasting von Friends of Single Malt - FoSM. Die Brennerei, die es zu erraten galt war die irische Waterford Distillery. Genau, die neue von Mark Reynier. Die Brennerei verfolgt sehr interessante Ansätze und dementsprechend war das Tasting sehr interessant, wenn auch Tim völlig im Dunklen tappte. Daran anknüpfen sprechen wir - wie sollte es anders sein - über Terrior beim Whisky. Viel Spaß beim Hören Olli & Tim

Waterford Distillery is a single malt whiskey distillery located in Waterford City, in the South East of Ireland. The distillery was originally rebuilt in 2004 as a Guinness brewery, shut down a decade later and in 2015 transformed into a state-of-the-art single malt whiskey distillery. Here CEO, Mark Reynier provides an update on progress and of his ambition to create the most profound single malt whisky that has ever been seen.

Renagade Rum and Waterford Distillery : Inside Story Renegade Rum and Waterford Distillery lead the way in the new era of traceability and in this episode I interview Mark Reynier CEO. Mark was the founder and CEO of Bruichladdich distillery. If you're into Whisky, you will know about Bruichladdich single malt. Fantastic Whiskys! And they sold the business for £58 million to Remy Cointreau in July 2012. Mark has been in the drinks industry his whole working life. It will be 40 years next year; he will have spent 20 years in Whisky and 20 years in the wine industry. He joined his family's wine shipping firm in 1980, they bottled old wines and distributed them. He went into wholesale restaurant sales before creating his own retail wine business in 1995; after a short stint with a West Country Brewer Eldridge Pope. It was here that he first experienced single malt Whiskys used for blending in bulk the "Brewers Ken" blended whisky. Bruichladdich was the only single malt stocked at one of his shops "La Reserve" in Knightsbridge and the Bruichladdich distillery was purchased in 2000 and developed until 2012 when it was acquired by Remy Cointreau along with a creation of theirs called The Botanist Gin. Since then, Renegade Rum has been created. It's a distillery project, which is due to come online in August 2019 and that's actually on the island of Grenada. Renegade Rum and Waterford Distillery are both going to disrupt the spirits industry! Waterford Distillery was created in Ireland in 2016. And that actually is going to be the first Irish single malt Whisky which will be released in 2020. Mark shares so much value in this episode. I think you're gonna like it! If you want to learn about the drinks industry and a bit about the history of Grenada and the history of wine and spirits this is for you. We talked about his passion, which is bringing terroir to spirits! Terroir is the ground that the ingredients are grown on and what flavours that impart upon the actual drink itself. So, let's get into the show... Well Hi there Mark! Mark Reynier 3:01 Morning, morning, morning :-) Nathaniel Schooler 3:03 We haven't actually met in person, but I've followed your antics one might say for almost 20 years. I watched the Bruichladdich distillery go from being defunct; to having this amazing sort of flashy new packaging and and all these amazing kind of press releases and I'm super interested to hear about the Renegade Rum Distillery that you're involved with and the new Waterford Distillery as well. Mark Reynier 3:33 They all flow out of the same the same concept as you said; it was December the 19th 2000 that we brought Bruichladdich. A day I remember extremely well, it was it was a very tight deadline and it was all or nothing and it very nearly didn't happen at all and then to crown it all my son was born the same day so it's a day that's firmly emblazoned on my memory in my mind. But this year 2019. It's a dividing line to me, it's exactly half my career. Half has been in wine and gather half in spirits. So there's quite a pertinent sort of landmark for me. What I've been doing with spirits is applying very much a wine trade philosophy to what I saw a rather stayed industry. Which we say you know, in the wine trade we always call the spirits side the "dark side." It was everything the wine trade isn't. It's a very consolidated extremely rich industry. Whereas the wine trade is a fragmented. A lot of small producers; hands on, a lot of passionate people, completely unsophisticated in comparison to the spirits industry. So when I went from wine to the spirits, I really felt that I was going to the dark side, I was making a deliberate move into something which for much of my life I despised. Nathaniel Schooler 5:18 What I find quite interesting as you're you're bringing the approach from wine into spirits. I mean for people that don't understand about wine, you and I both know that I don't know who said it originally but:-  

This is the first of our two episodes from the 14th annual Victoria Whisky Festival in Victoria, British Columbia. One of the highlights of the festival each year is the Canadian Whisky Awards, and Forty Creek returned to the top of the podium this year for the first time in five years with a new 22-year-old Canadian Rye whisky. We'll have the details on that and other award winners in the news, and we'll also look at the debate over the impact of terroir in whisky. Vancouver Island's Shelter Point Distillery won the Award for Innovation for its whisky distilled from 100% unmalted barley whisky grown on the distillery's own farm. That's just one example, and Ireland's Waterford Distillery is taking terroir to the other extreme with barley from more than 40 local farms being malted, distilled, and matured separately to maximize the impact of terroir. We'll discuss the findings of new scientific research on Waterford's barley with founder Mark Reynier on WhiskyCast In-Depth.

It's St. Patrick's Day weekend, and while we cover Irish Whiskey all year-round, it's worth paying special attention to the fastest-growing segment of the whisky business this week. Waterford Distillery has been quietly laying down more than 2.3 million liters of spirit since it opened at the end of 2015, and just as he did at Bruichladdich, Waterford founder Mark Reynier is challenging many of Irish Whiskey's traditions. We'll catch up with Mark for a progress report and discuss his newest challenge - distilling whiskey from biodynamically-grown barley. We'll also hear about another newcomer to the Irish Whiskey scene, as Sabine Sheehan joins us to share the story behind Lambay Irish Whiskey - a collaboration between Cognac's Camus family and Ireland's Baring family. In the news, Irish investigators are looking for the cause of a fatal accident this week at the Irish Distillers maturation warehouses in Dungourney, and Ireland's prime minister was in Washington trying to persuade President Donald Trump to reconsider punitive tariffs on steel and aluminum imports set to take effect this week in a move that could set off a whisky-focused trade war.

This week, we'll give you a glimpse at something rarely seen...the very first still run at a new distillery. This week, the stills at Ireland's Waterford Distillery came to life - 24 years after they were last used at the old Inverleven Distillery in Scotland. Like a lot of pieces of the Waterford story, those stills spent some time on Islay at Bruichladdich, but like the old Guinness brewery in Waterford that closed two years ago, they found new life in the Irish Whiskey boom. We'll talk with Waterford founder Mark Reynier and some of the brewery team that returned to work at Waterford on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the new owners of Bushmills have big expansion plans in mind for their distillery, while yet another new Bourbon distillery is being planned in Bardstown, Kentucky. We'll also have details on the week's new whiskies and much more on this week's WhiskyCast!

Mark Reynier is the owner of Waterford Distillery, and former managing director and part-owner of Bruichladdich distillery. The discussion focuses on the future of Irish whiskey, trends in the industry, the importance of credibility, whisky terroir, no-age statement whisky, and lessons learned from Bruichladdich that'll be applied to Waterford Distillery.

In the first of this week's two episodes of WhiskyCast, we'll travel to Sweden to look at two of the country's whisky distilleries. Mackmyra is Sweden's oldest distillery...even though it's only 15 years old, and matures its malts in a former mine 50 metres underground. The Box Distillery has just released its second single malt four years after beginning production in a former power plant, and both releases sold out within hours at Sweden's state-run liquor monopoly. In the news, Chip Tate has accepted a buyout offer from Balcones Distillery's majority owners and has left with plans to start his own distillery in Waco, Texas, but there remains a great deal of bitterness between the two sides. We'll have more on this story in this week's bonus episode. Former Bruichladdich managing director Mark Reynier is back in the whisky business after working out a deal to buy a former Guinness brewery in Ireland and convert it into a distillery, and the Beam brothers have brought a new partner in to help grow their Limestone Branch Distillery in Kentucky.

Irish Whiskey has been leading the global growth in whisky sales for the last several years, posting double-digit gains every year. That growth is being reflected in the number of new distilleries under construction or being planned in Ireland, and distillers from both sides of the border have come together to form the Irish Whiskey Association. Peter Morehead of Irish Distillers was elected the association's first president, and joins us to discuss the state of Irish Whiskey on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, former Bruichladdich managing director Mark Reynier is getting back into the whisky business with a new distillery, Chip Tate's scheduled to return to Balcones at the end of this coming week and plans major changes while his dispute with Balcones' majority investors continues, and Springbank's owners thumb their noses at the results of the recent Scottish independence referendum with a new release honoring the losing side in that election.

Cutty Sark is marking two anniversaries within a week or so: the brand's 90's anniversary on March 23 and the third anniversary of its acquisition by the Edrington Group April 1. It's a legendary brand that lost its way in recent years, but recorded its first annual increase in sales during 2012 after years of declining sales. Edrington's first move three years ago was to put Jason Craig in charge of turning the ship around, and he joins us for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, we'll have plenty of new releases to talk about from Arran, Balblair, Four Roses, Kilchoman, and more...including a very special Bruichladdich single cask with a lot of sentimental value for former managing director Mark Reynier. This week's tasting notes include a special limited edition Cutty Sark, a single malt from Germany, and a Kentucky classic.

This is a big weekend on Islay, and not only because it's the first weekend of the Islay Festival of Malt & Music. Bruichladdich is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its 2001 revival this weekend, and we'll look back at the last 10 years with managing director Mark Reynier and the Bard of Bruichladdich, singer-songwriter Robin Laing. Midleton Distillery cooper Ger Buckley tells us about the centuries-old art of making barrels by hand, and shows us in the debut of WhiskyCast HD, a new series of video podcasts. We'll also hear from the Spirit Journal's F. Paul Pacult and Euan Shand of Duncan Taylor.

In the last episode, I mentioned the growing controversy over proposed UK legislation that would set specific labeling standards for Scotch Whisky, including a new name for what have been known as "vatted malts". Trouble is, support for "blended malts" is not unanimous, and critics are speaking out. Mark Reynier of Bruichladdich is one of the most outspoken critics of the legislation and the influence of the Scotch Whisky Association in preparing it. We'll hear from Mark, along with SWA spokesman David Williamson.

The guys at Bruichladdich have never shied away from a challenge, and their latest goal is to bring whisky distilling back to the nearby town of Port Charlotte on Islay. The town's distillery was turned into a car park decades ago, but Mark Reynier tells us they have the old warehouses, a still, and big plans for the Port Charlotte Distillery. In the news, the 16 Men of Tain at Glenmorangie is now 15...and a woman of Tain. There's also news of next month's Woodford Reserve bourbon academies, discounts for WhiskyCast listeners at the Wild Scotsman Whisky School, and much more.
