I've been working on a guide book to Irish Whiskey for the last 3 years, however, there has been so many changes and developments within this industry, that as I'm doing my last corrections I'm conscious of the many additional aspects of the Industry that won't show up in the Guide. Aspects there isn't room for, like new discoveries of the newest distilleries or additional tips; like great recipes or great pub recommendations and many other things that could not be squeezed into the book. Therefore, this is what the Blog is for; the newest whiskeys & the best tips along with an interesting grab bag of information about the whiskey industry.

My whole life long I've been fascinated by traditional crafts, which was given focus in Ireland, through my interest in whiskey distillation. I love the fact that although the modern world seems to be getting faster and faster and technical development turns our lives upside down on a regular basis, whiskey distilling is an exception to this modern whirlwind. For the last 400 years, the process remains the same, namely, you still must wait a minimum of three years and one day for maturity, and triple distilling along with the quality of the water all play vital roles.
