Join me for My Chat with Barry Crockett at the silent North Mall Distillery in the heart of Cork City. This is a cracking episode. What an amazing chance I got, to record with one of the most significant distillers of the modern era. Barry took over as Master Distiller from his father Max Crockett, at the old Midleton Distillery; at the time when the New Midleton Distillery was in the planning and commissioning stage in late 1970's Ireland. I got to ask him about that time on this podcast. But we spent an afternoon strolling around the remnants of what was North Mall Distillery and discussing his research into his recently released book 'Wise's Irish Whiskey', which he co-wrote with Stephen D'alton.  Link for Wise's Irish Whiskey book by Barry Crockett & Stephen D'alton: https://www.corkuniversitypress.com/9781782055754/wises-irish-whiskey/ This episode of the podcast is sponsored by: Irish Whiskey Auctions  www.boanndistillery.ie Don't forget to sign up to my Patreon channel for early access episodes and more, for a few euros a month and help me deliver the best podcasts to you. https://www.patreon.com/whiskeychatspodcast What an honour, I hope you enjoy our chat.
