Dingle Whiskey: Oliver's Dream Realized (Episode 768: May 19, 2019)

Oliver Hughes and his partners in Ireland's Porterhouse Group
opened Dingle Distillery in late 2012, just as the Irish craft
distilling boom was beginning. Dingle was Ireland's first new
distillery in 25 years since the opening of Cooley Distillery in
1987, but Hughes barely got to see the first early bottlings of
Dingle Whiskey before his death in 2016. Today, his family and
colleagues have taken Oliver Hughes's dream and are building on
it, with the first exports of Dingle's single malt whisky to the
United States coming later this year. We'll visit the distillery
and talk with some of the people carrying on that mission on this
week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, there's a truce in the
trade war between the U.S. and two key trading partners that
should mean the end of punitive tariffs on American Whiskey
exports. We'll have the details, along with the rest of the
week's whisky news and much more.
