Taoscán
Quickly becoming my favourite word, and life philosophy.
'Generous amount of liquid, optimistic sense of plenty to it, without suggesting excess'

[Potstilled Matt 🥃 @Potstilled_]

I feel fantastically vindicated by this fantastic book! What a wonderful description of Taoscán 🥃🥳

A ‘fancy seeing you here’ moment bumping into David of @Ballykilcavan as both our distillery and David’s brewery received Origin Green Gold Member status at @Bordbia, two of only 97 companies in Ireland to have earned it.

[conorseanryan @conorseanryan]

It was a privilege to meet the man of Midleton himself - Barry Crockett at the launch of his book; Wise’s Irish Whiskey

Co Written with Stephen D’Alton this is going to be a fascinating delve into just one chapter of the past of Corks rich distilling history.

[Pearse Lyons Irish Whiskey @PearseWhiskey]

Thank you to Fionnán O’Connor & all at @CorkWhiskeySoc for including a @PLDistillery New Make in the flight line up for the:
- Future of Potstill Event -

Our New Make that @conorseanryan was able to share a few words on was a recreation of a Dublin Potstill recipe from Fionnán

[Dillon Burke @DillonBurke19]

@MrMarkNewton Thanks for sharing Mark, does this mean the Gaia 1.1 & 1.2 2.1 is over and will be a Cuvée going forward ?

[Bill Linnane @Bill_Linnane]

Dingle.

[BlackwaterDistillery @BlackDistillery]

We have started the harvest. Coming soon, 100% non-compliant Single Pot Still.

[Ballykilcavan @Ballykilcavan]

Ballykilcavan brewery is just 2.5km from the site of the Electric Picnic (@EPfestival), but we are not allowed to serve our beers there. The festival claims to be sustainable, but despite our three national sustainability awards, we're still not allowed in. Here's why.

[BlackwaterDistillery @BlackDistillery]

Good on @Ballykilcavan for talking about the multi-national elephant at the festival. This is common practice I am afraid, lots of PR BS about local, but in the end money talks and small producers get shafted
