Welcome to the Irish Distillers Tasting Club a six-part series for whiskey lovers.

Over the series we’ll meet true masters of their crafts from Midleton Distillery. From flavours and aromas, to cask selection and the wonderful stories behind each product, we will share insights into how Irish Distillers create some of the world’s most enjoyed Irish whiskeys.

In episode 3, our host Ger Garland talks to Master Distiller Brian Nation about his role in producing a whiskey which is often referred to as the ‘pinnacle of Irish whiskey’. Brian joined the ranks of some legendary figures of Irish whiskey when he took over as Master Distiller. In this episode he discusses how he came to work for Irish Distillers and the craft behind the production of Midleton Very Rare.
