Irish Whiskey & Seaweed: A Marriage of Land & Sea.

The growing demand for Irish whiskey has inspired new innovation
by Irish whiskey distilleries across every aspect of
fermentation, distillation and maturation.


It's not just the distilleries that are innovating either. New
whiskey brands are finding unique ways to collaborate with
distilleries to bring products to the market that may not have
become a reality without such a collaboration.


One of these collaborations has launched this week and may indeed
be a world's first. In this episode of Stories & Sips, I sit
down with Patrick Shelley, founder of Origin Spirits, who this
week launches his first whiskey, Currach Single Malt Irish
Whiskey.


What's unique and innovative about another new Irish whiskey, you
might ask? Well this one marries Ireland's land and sea with the
single malt whiskey finished in Irish seaweed casks - a first for
the Irish whiskey industry.


Patrick brings a unique global perspective and Irish pride to
this whiskey and I love the collaboration and even a touch of
madness that was needed to bring this to market. I hope you enjoy
his story.
