Join me for My Irish Distillers History Chat with Archivist Carol Quinn.

This is my third Chat with Carol and they always seem to be better than the last.

Carol is so knowledgeable on the history of Cork Distilleries Company, the precursor to Irish Distillers.

I joined Carol in her archive, at The Distillers Cottage in Midleton Distillery and we had a great chat about how Irish Distillers evolved from CDC and she dispelled a few myths about Irish whiskey along the way aswell, that I put to her.
