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. 

Actors Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley have released their latest edition of Brother's Bond Bourbon, a 7-year-old Bottled in Bond whiskey. It's a release that shows the two are serious about their whiskies, and not just slapping their names on a bottle. We'll talk with Paul and Ian on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. It's been a troubling week for the whisky industry with the bankruptcy of Kentucky Owl parent company Stoli Group USA and the collapse of Ireland's Waterford Distillery, and we'll have the details on both, along with President-elect Donald Trump's plan to impose tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, which could include Canadian whisky and Tequila. 

This week on Organic Matters, we visit the farm of John and Marcella Mallick near Tinahely in Co. Wicklow. They have been organic farming since 2011 and as well as running a suckler and sheep enterprise with Galloway cattle, and Scotch sheep cross with Texels, they also grow organic barley for Waterford Distillery to brew into whiskey. They talk about their experience farming organically over the past 10 years or more from modifying animal housing to organic crop management.

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.

I do a lot of research for each episode of the podcast - I don't want to ask anything that's been asked over and over. Often, that's listening to podcasts, reading interviews, anything that might spark an insightful question or a different angle.  But what do you do when a distillery has their own podcast? What do you do when there's so much information out there and yet so much to ask?  You start with one interview and go from there. We cover so many topics in this interview that it's hard to imagine another, but there are at least two or three more. A conversation about examining soil and terrain; another about grain varieties; perhaps another about how that incredibly complex cask mix became a background note to the terroir-driven experiments.  Waterford is like those casks - incredibly complex yet so simple. A single idea branching into dozens of avenues, or dozens of ideas coalescing into a single thought: what if terroir could be proven? What if farm-to-farm terroir could be proven? Not only qualitatively but scientifically. What could be seen? What could be achieved?  I'm rarely so outright flattering of a distillery, but in this case I truly am amazed and inspired by what Waterford is doing. If every distillery cared this much about their "thing," the world of whiskey would be a better place for it.  _________________ Before we jump into the interview just a few quick notes: If you haven't joined the Patreon community yet, please consider doing so! Only 5 Spots Remain in the Barrel Club.

You've heard me talk about it before, barley is a complex grain that many distilleries dismiss. Yet don't tell the Scots, the Japanese, or the Irish that. Today we are going to dive in deep with a distillery that is digging into the science of barley, trying to completely understand it, so they can make the most amazing whiskies and elevate people's notion of this incredible grain. Join me as I talk with Waterford Distillery's Head Brewer Neil Conway as he revisits many of the concepts we talked about during my visit last May and help you better understand the vision that builds upon what its owner was doing at Bruichladdich before coming to Ireland.

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.

In the latest episode of the season, we've gathered the team behind the Arcadian Farm Origin Whiskies from Waterford Distillery for a fireside chat.  After eight episodes covering the various groundbreaking whisky releases in the series, we wanted to bring the whisky makers together to follow up on some of the topics covered this season, get some additional insights on the whiskies released and try to sneakily get some information on future releases. In this fireside chat, we're joined by Head Distiller Ned Gahan, Head Brewer Neil Conway and Terroir Coordinator Angelita Fonseca-Hynes. 

With two peated whisky releases now on the market, the team from Waterford Distillery reveals the unlikely journey that the distillery took on its way to releasing these expressions, we'll hear about challenges inherent within the Irish whisky landscape of producing peated whiskies the Waterford way and we'll discuss proposed legislation that could threaten the very use of peat by distilleries in Ireland.

In releasing its first two peated Irish Single Malt Whiskies to the market, Waterford Distillery has not only made history for the distillery but for the world of Irish whisky, being the first distillery to make a whisky entirely from Irish barley dried over Irish peat in generations.  Often overshadowed by its Scottish neighbours when it comes to talk of smoky or peated whiskies, Ireland's historic use of peat tells its own remarkable story of cultural and economic development, of communities built and indistries created. In this episode of the Waterford Whisky Podcast, we examine that rich history and its relevance to the world of whisky. 

The first truly Irish Peated Whiskey arriving this year? Charles and I take a look at Waterford Distillery and their farm-bottle, terroir-driven whiskeys along with a discussion of their highly anticipated peated release. We also discuss the exciting yet sad news of what the 2022 Van Winkle Family of Whiskeys are and what their suggested retail price is versus reality. But don't fret, there are so many new & fantastic whiskeys out there so go out and try them! Please leave us a review wherever you are listening as well. We appreciate you! Cheers!

For years, once-widespread barley varieties such as Hunter, Goldthorpe and Old Irish lay dormant, yet preserved, in the Department of Agriculture's Seed Bank outside Dublin. These grains held the flavours and stories of a different time where different approaches to farming, brewing and distilling reigned.  If Waterford Distillery was to continue its quest of pursuing whisky flavour and "the old ways" the team knew that what they sought lay in cold storage in the laboratories of the Seed Bank.  In this episode we'll share how Waterford Distillery and its growing partners turned 50 grams of heritage barley into 50 barrels of whisky through a 5 year-long passion-fueled process full of challenges and new learnings. 

At the turn of the 20th century, farmers in the south of Ireland led the barley breeding movement, creating strong, resilient varieties of barley grown to be malted for use in beer and whisky making. Were these grains more flavourful? Did they exhibit characteristics that we may have interest in today? Most of these historic, heritage varieties have long since died out, but five years ago the team at Waterford Distillery wondered if they might be able to resurrect some of these long-lost grains.  They began by exploring the history of Ireland's heritage barley varieties. 

My Chat with David Walsh Kemiss from Ballykilcavan farm and brewery.  David is a 13th generation owner of Ballykilcavan, which is a working farm and brewey amongst other things. He grows barley for Waterford Distillery and also owns Kylebeg Wood, from where Irish Distillers felled the Irish Oak for their Dair Ghaelach release a couple of years ago. I had a great time having a look around his historic buildings and also visited  one of the Dair Ghaelach stumps in Kylebeg Wood.  http://www.ballykilcavan.com/ Have a listen in on our chat, Slainte!

The growing, the farmers, the soil, the barley are all well documented at Waterford Distillery. Once the barley is picked up from the growers it begins the journey that will lead ultimately to the distillery. In the last season of the podcast, we broke down the entire process from growing to bottling and shared in detail the unique process at the distillery whereby each farm's barley is stored, malted, brewed and distilled separately from other farms' harvests. When it comes to biodynamic and organic whisky making, however, there are extra complexities to ensure compliance with the certifying bodies. 

In this week's episode we're continuing the exploration of biodynamic farming and growing that we began investigating last week and we're going to get a better understanding of what makes a farm, a grain and a whisky organic. We'll hear from the growers behind the barley that eventually ends up in Waterford Distillery's biodynamic and organic whiskies and we're heading to the central valley of California to hear from a grower who is led by the spiritual approach to biodynamic farming and we'll hear from a best-in-class pioneer of the biodynamic wine world in France.

In this season we're following the flavour, pulling back the covers on Waterford Distillery's unique approach and philosophy when it comes to barley, focusing on the Arcadian series, a collection of whiskies with their roots in how whisky used to be made.  Before the mass production demands of today dictated what an entire industry grew, how they grew it and how they malted, fermented, distilled and matured, there were different approaches to whisky making - approaches tied more to nature, to age old practices; approaches dependent on available natural resources rather than artificial substitutes. Did these approaches yield more flavour? The Arcadian Series of whiskies seeks to answer this question and in this episode we're going to begin understanding how the team at Waterford intends to do that.

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

More than 100 Irish farmers grow barley exclusively for Waterford Distillery, but Trevor Harris is one of a handful using biodynamic techniques on his farm. Biodynamics takes organic farming to the extreme, using naturally-based soil supplements instead of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. We'll visit Trevor Harris's farm and the distillery on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, U.S. regulators are taking a second look at bottle size standards, and that could open the door to 500ml whiskies in the future. We'll look at addition and subtraction when it comes to whisky's maturation equation on Behind the Label and much more.

We try 4 new releases from one of the more interesting whiskey distilleries, Waterford. Headed by the ex-CEO of Bruichladdich, is Waterford the next big thing? The Whisky Rant Podcast Ep 30.

For many, the process of creating an outstanding whisky is akin to a religious experience. And that could easily be the analogy you use when describing the processes put in place by Waterford Distillery in Ireland. Although Single Malts are best known from the Scottish side of the industry, Ireland has been producing outstanding examples for centuries. Laying down their first liquid in 2015, Waterford may be a newcomer to the field but they believe the unwavering level of craftsmanship they bring to the whiskey will speak for itselfTo find out more, we talk to Head Distiller, Ned Gahan about the nuances of terroir, traceability and transparency. 

Jpoin me for My Cuvée Chat with Ned Gahan, Head Distiller in Waterford Distillery. I met up with him in Charlie Foley's Bar in Killarney town, in the snug, and we cracked open the Cuvée Sample pack released by Waterford at xmas. I wanted to speak to Ned about the Cuvées he has curated over the last 2 years and got a great insight into Waterford's current direction.

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!

Grace O'Reilly is an Agronomist for Waterford Whiskey, where she combines passion with agriculture. Grace grew up on a sheep and suckler-to-beef farm in the northeast of Ireland and is from a fifth-generation farming family. Her previous roles include working at Minch Malt, where she gained valuable experience working in different parts of the country.  Grace attended University College Dublin, where her desire to work in the production and harvesting industry led her to a major in Agricultural Science in Animal and Crop Production. She believes that you must have passion for what you are doing and to do what you love. In this episode… There are many complex layers around growing barley — cultivation, soil, and climate are all things to consider when crafting a spirit.  Biodynamic farming is a relatively new implementation to grow barley. Unfortunately, this means there is little data on how barley environments create and shape taste. Grace O'Reilly is changing that. She is implementing new ways to track data and source it down to the farm where the barley was born. Grace looks at older art forms of distillation, having brought back several antique strains of barley, and merges them with modern, organic ways of farming to produce unique whiskey. Listen to this episode of the Alexi Cashen podcast to hear from Grace O'Reilly, Agronomist at Waterford Distillery. Alexi and Grace discuss Grace's foundation in agriculture and how it sprouted her love of barley, the renaissance of organic farming, how it shapes the production, fermentation, and distillation of barley, and the importance of consumer education. Get your hands dirty and plant the seeds in this episode!

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

Can a whisky’s terroir survive maturation? Why is such a large percentage of Waterford Distillery’s budget committed to the purchase and storage of casks? How much of a whisky’s flavour come from its time in a cask? What happens the whisky as it matures?   In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, we’re answering these questions and more as we examine the most time-consuming aspect of whisky making, maturation, in order to best understand how the spirit and wood interact with one another and collectively build upon each previous step of the whisky making process in the pursuit of the most flavourful litre of alcohol ever created.

When we think of whisky production, brochure-friendly polished copper stills, stainless steel and piping spring to mind, but what really happens at this stage? Can the flavour nuances of terroir survive what appears from the outside to be quite an industrial process?   In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, we’re looking at the science behind distillation, the unique low and slow distilling approach favoured by Waterford Distillery and how distillation can preserve, concentrate and maximise each barley field’s unique flavour.

In this special recording of Cask Strength - The Whisky Podcast the hosts celebrate St. Patrick's Day with two great Irish Whiskies - Waterford Single Farm Origin Series Ballykilcavan 1.2 and Method and Madness Single Pot Still Whiskey.  Both very interesting drams and of course, the hosts sample some fine beers also - this time from the same farm that provided the barley for Waterfords Whiskey - Ballykilcavan Brewery. During part 1 of this special podcast the hosts discuss Waterford Distillery, Ballykilcavan beer, St. Patrick himself, terroir, transparency and academics. Enjoy the show, cheers! This special is split into 2 parts to allow for hour long episodes - part 2 will focus on the Single Pot Still Whiskey from Method and Madness.  Co-edited: Cask Strength Productions & Nathan Currie All views are our own.

Waterford Distillery’s unique whisky-making approach is centered around capturing the unique flavours present in each of the grower’s fields of barley. Before distilling can concentrate the flavours, there are a few essential steps to help extract those flavours from the grain and preserve their terroir.       In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, we’ll follow the barley from the field to the maltster and on to the brewing stage with Grace O’Reilly, Waterford Distillery’s agronomist and Neil Conway, Head Brewer.

A terroir-driven approach to whisky making begins with the land - the fields and farms that give Waterford Distillery its barley. It's in these fields that the growers and their families maximize the flavour-potential of their barley crop. Aided and advised by Grace O’Reilly, Ireland’s only distillery-employed agronomist, growers follow a different process to growing and harvesting.   In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast we’ll meet growers who have farmed their land for generations, we’ll learn what it means to them to be part of Waterford Distillery’s approach and we’ll follow barley’s journey from sowing to harvesting.

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 Distillery Founder Mark Reynier has spent the last 5 years telling everyone who’ll listen (and even those who won’t) that he believes there’s an alternative to how whiskey has been made for generations. He believes there’s a better way and that mass production and a focus on yield has replaced a focus on flavour. He has strong opinions and firmly held beliefs and he’s betting the farm, many farms in fact, on these opinions being true and ultimately that they’ll matter to the whisky drinker who purchases a bottle of Waterford Whisky.   Central to his approach is the concept of Terroir - a french term used to describe how a particular place’s climate, soils and terrain affect the taste of a crop and consequently the product it becomes an ingredient of.   Is all this talk of Terroir just hype? Is it a marketing stunt? It may be universally accepted in France but can it translate to the world of whisky production? Why are so many people arguing about its very existence?   It’s a topic that has divided whiskey makers, drinkers and anyone with even a passing interest in the world of whisky production.   My name is Barry Chandler, an Irish whiskey enthusiast and I’ve been fascinated by Waterford Distillery’s approach and beliefs since first visiting the distillery in late 2019. In this podcast series I’m going to dive deep into the world of Terroir and one distillery’s journey to not just make a whisky inspired by it, but to prove, scientifically, and beyond doubt, that it exists.   Each episode you’ll hear from distillers, scientists, growers, and whisk(e)y drinkers. They’ll share their opinions and perspectives so that you get to make your own mind up about whether Waterford Distillery’s approach matters to you.

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. Matthew was an interesting discussion and his book can be found everywhere books are sold.  Check it out at Greenlights.com Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors.   Whiskey Neat is supported by the Inspired Spirits at Glass Rev Imports and Waterford Irish Whiskey.

"Terroir" ist ein Konzept, das vor allem in der Weinwelt weit verbreitet ist. Es beschreibt, dass vor allem die Lage der Rebe, also Gestein, Hanglage und weitere Faktoren, einen Einfluss auf den Wein haben. Im Whisky ist Terroir bisher noch kaum erforscht worden. Die irische Waterford Distillery spürt diesem aber nun nach. Wir verkosten in diesem Stream 4 Single Farm Origin Whiskys, also alle mit Gerste von nur einer Farm. Wie werden sie sich unterscheiden?

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

This year, the much-anticipated first whiskey releases will leave the gates of Waterford Distillery. The distillery's intense approach to all aspects of whiskey production, starts long before distillation or fermentation or even harvesting of the barley. It begins months in advance of the sowing through nurtured partnerships and planning with the farmers who'll supply the crop. This is the part that Grace O'Reilly, Ireland's only distillery-employed agronomist oversees. I chatted with Grace about her role, the difference Waterford's approach has to the final product and what she has learned in this exciting new role. 

I sat down for a chat with Ned Gahan, Head (not Master) Distiller in Waterford Distillery. I visited him last February, before the Grand Opening on Saturday 25th April was cancelled. (I mistakenly said the 24th April on the podcast!) We had a great chat about all the exciting releases to look forward from Waterford and how much their policy of 'Terroir' affects their whiskey. You will have to forgive me for the sound quality on this episode, It's what happens when you haven't got a clue what you're at! ; )My drop of the night is........well, experimental blends and new make from Waterford Distillery! But trust me, they tasted amazing! Have a listen in on our chat.

There’s a whiskey/whisky revolution happening in the south east of Ireland at the moment. Waterford, a county more historically associated with cut crystal than whiskey, is now turning whiskey production on its head in Ireland. I spent a jaw-dropping day with the team at Waterford Distillery to learn about their approach, their beliefs and sample some of their maturing spirit. In this episode of Stories & Sips, I share my thoughts on the visit, their philosophy and what it means for the Irish whiskey industry. 

Ned Gahan, Head Distill at Waterford Distillery, takes us through several samples of whisky in the search of whisky terroir. Ned worked at the old Guinness brewery at Waterford, and takes us through the history of on the site that once exclusively produced beer, and now makes whisky.

Mark Reynier, of Bruichladdich fame, is on the precipice of releasing the first set of whiskies that are entirely terroir focused. Waterford Distillery is entirely purpose built for the production of vintage whiskies that can be traced down right down to the field the barley was grown. We talk about some of Mark Reynier's history in Bruichladdich, the emotional attachment to farming, terroir, and the whisky that'll be coming out from Waterford Distillery!

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.

Vendor negotiation is very important, seeing the "vendor" as a partner is crucial to success in business. Being flexible and understanding how you can work together is key. Making sure your "vendor negotiation" is done ethically is also so important. As opposed to seeing the vendor negotiation as just another way to win and you lose. Fortunately now many vendor negotiation has become Win / Win scenarios, enabling both you the purchaser and the seller to make a strong long term working relationship. Trust takes many years to build and thankfully there are many ethical companies out there and many ethically driven procurement professionals driving the right kind of vendor negotiation. Renegade Rum and Waterford Distillery: from History to Terroir and Data with Mark Reynier CEO – Episode 31 Visit the Art Of Procurement Podcast WARNING — AI Transcriptions May Cause Grammatically Correct People Serious Stress Nathaniel Schooler 0:09 I'd like to introduce you to Philip Ideson. Philip Ideson is passionate about the role that procurement professionals and leaders can plan in creating a competitive advantage for their organizations. Over a two-decade career spanning the entire procurement value chain from Buyer to Head of Procurement, as a practitioner and consultant, Philip observed first hand the challenges that procurement professionals face in fighting the status quo, and ultimately in fulfilling their potential. Philip founded Art of Procurement in 2015 as a way to empower procurement professionals at all levels to deliver change with confidence; whether from the inspiration of the popular weekly podcast that he hosts, or with targeted solution offerings that guide clients on their journey to transform the impact of procurement. Let's dig into this interesting episode. Well, thank you for that for joining me. I'm really pleased to learn more about these exciting topics. on that. Philip Ideson 1:28 Thank you very much for inviting me on the show. Nathaniel Schooler 1:31 So I think it's best if we start with start with procurement, and then we sort of lead into negotiation if that. So if that's all right. Philip Ideson 1:39 Sure. Nathaniel Schooler 1:40 So where would you start? If you were, if you were thinking about buying something, and you know, you might be an experienced be procurement officer, or you might be just just learning how to buy something? Where do you start? Philip Ideson 1:55 So for somebody who's within the procurement side kind of side of the bed, nice, and they're helping somebody within the business by something, what's really important to me, is understanding truly what the outcomes that person wants to deliver. Because you know, a product or a service that you buy, is really only a vehicle for an outcome. And I think that's something that often gets really lost is we get too fixated on this is what the specification of this widget is, are, these are all the different elements of this particular service, we get so kind of stuck in the weeds of that, that you lose the sight of:- "Actually I want it because we need to increase, you know, the some customer satisfaction!" Let's say :-"We want to bring in increase the conversion rate within our marketing funnel by 1%." It's really focusing on the end game rather than the thing you're buying itself. I think it's just something that's really important to do that we often forget. Nathaniel Schooler 2:53 That's really good advice. Yeah, I agree completely. I mean, there's so many people that certainly in marketing for one example, they're just kind of, they're told to go and do all these things. And they might be tracking the wrong metrics. So I think certainly finding out the right place to start is definitely the way to go. Yeah. Philip Ideson 3:13 Yeah. And metrics is a struggle for procurement folks, because most procurement folks, are measured on cost savings. So they measured,

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:-  

A county in Ireland that five years ago didn’t have a single distillery is an unlikely location for some of the greatest innovation in the Irish whiskey world today, but a small county in the sunny south east of Ireland is leading a whiskey revolution. In this second episode of 2019, we’re off to Waterford. We’re heading due East from the last episode where we went behind the scenes at the old Midleton Distillery. This week we’re an hour’s drive from Midleton in a county whose name and capital city to most Americans and especially to generations of Irish Americans is synonymous with the famous crystal that for years was the standard gift for weddings. But the county is making a fast name for itself in the whiskey world. We examine that in this week's episode exploring Waterford Distillery, Blackwater Distillery, Henry Downes Bar and Revolution Bar.

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.

It's rare to watch a whiskey distillery's stills run for the very first time, but that's what we're bringing you in this episode of WhiskyCast HD. Just a year and a week after buying the former Guinness brewery in Waterford, Ireland, Mark Reynier's Renegade Spirits has fired up the stills at what's now known as Waterford Distillery. Many of the brewery's former employees laid off after it closed two years ago have come back to work at the distillery, and 46 area farmers have been contracted to grow barley for use in Waterford's single malt whiskey, which is expected to go on sale five years from now.

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.
