A Day in the Distiller's Cottage: Dream Drams & Dream Casks

On a warm summer's day last year, my buddy Omar Fitzell from
thatsdramgood.com and I managed to talk our way into the famed
Distiller's Cottage on the hallowed grounds of the Old Midleton
Distillery (now silent).


This is the cottage where Midleton Master Distiller Emeritus
Barry Crockett was born. Today it is home to the Irish Distillers
Archive and hosts the members of the Midleton Cask Circle, a club
for purchasers of casks of Midleton whiskey.


We sat, we sipped, we told stories and we somehow managed to drag
ourselves out again (before they threw us out) after sampling
some of the greatest whiskeys produced in the Midleton
Distillery.
