Irish Whiskey's Modern-Day Maverick

Louise McGuane wants to revive a key part of Irish Whiskey's
past, but she keeps wrestling with its present-day form in a bid
to change the future of Ireland's whiskey industry. The Chapel
Gate Whiskey Co. founder has become one of Irish Whiskey's most
outspoken voices in recent years and recently spoke at the World
Whisky Forum in Seattle. WhiskyCast is the only place where
you'll be able to hear her comments on this St. Patrick's
week...a week in which the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic
has forced Ireland's legendary pubs to close, along with bars and
distillery visitor centers around the world. We'll have the
details in this week's news, along with updates on whisky
festivals and other events cancelled or postponed by the
pandemic. We'll also honor longtime Bruichladdich legend Duncan
McGillivray, who passed away this past week.
