Whistling Along with Irish Whiskey
Show notes
Ireland's Boann Distillery named its Irish Whiskey "The Whistler" after its founder Patrick Cooney, who walks around the distillery whistling all day long. We'll get the Boann story from his son, Peter Cooney, this week on WhiskyCast In-Depth. We'll also talk with MB Roland Distillery's Paul Tomaszewski. Paul and his wife Merry Beth have decided to retire after 18 years of making award-winning whiskies, and will put the distillery up for auction in December. In the news, Irish Whiskey import tariffs are still in place despite President Donald Trump's public pledge to drop the tariff last month. Diageo is in trouble with Scottish regulators after a chemical spill at Cardhu Distillery, and we'll have the latest on the Uncle Nearest saga.
