5 Stars!
A fascinating account of the Irish whiskey industry and wonderfully told. I’m on episode 3 and thoroughly sucked in. I did the Jameson tour in Cork recently so this has really satiated my appetite for hearing more about Irish dram. Might have to go pour a glass!
An entertaining and interesting story about my favourite drink.
I've just finished the first episode and about to jump straight into the second one. It's an amazing, interesting story and seemed to end too soon.
