Mastering a New Role

Midleton's Kevin O'Gorman was tapped two years ago to take over
for Brian Nation as Master Distiller, and the results of Whisky
Magazine's 2022 Icons of Whisky Awards show he's succeeded in his
new role. O'Gorman was named Master Distiller/Blender of the
Year, and combines both roles with his annual release of Midleton
Very Rare. WhiskyCast's Mark Gillespie sat down over drams with
Kevin in Dublin just days after the announcement, and you'll hear
their conversation on WhiskyCast In-Depth. Mastering also comes
into play with the latest Jameson release, a "remastered" version
of the old Jameson 15 Single Pot Still release from two decades
ago, and we'll have the story behind it along with tasting notes
and the rest of the week's whisky news.
