Join me for My Stonewell Cidery Chat with Daniel Emerson.

Founded by Daniel and Geraldine Emerson in 2009, Stonewell is a small family-run cider producer. Their story began with an old French press and apple mill from Geraldine’s Loire Valley family before upgrading to a modern press at their Carrigaline Production facility.

I joined Daniel in Carrigaline and we walked amongst their fermenters and chatted about how Stonewell have always used apples that are sourced from orchards across Waterford, Kilkenny, Laois, Tipperary, and Cork. They use traditional cider apples like Dabinett and Michelin, blended with eating varieties such as Jonagored, Elstar, and Falstaff

Stonewell cider always stood out to me as one of the better cider offerings in bars. This trip down to them confirmed that.

Join me for My Spot Whiskey Chat with Robert Mitchell.

Robert Mitchell is the 7th generation of his family to run Mitchell & Son Wine and Spirits Merchants in Dublin city centre.

Mitchell's have left a huge legacy in their wake on Irish whiskey, as at one point in the late 20th century, the only shop in the world to sell Pot Still Irish whiskey was Mitchell's, as they were the only retailers for their Green Spot whiskey, in the world.

Robert and I get into the story behind the Spot range of whiskeys in this chat and it was an honour to sit with Robert for this chat.

Join me for My Mourne Dew Distillery Chat with Donal Farrell.

Mourne Dew was founded in 2017 by Donal Farrell, a former barrister and chartered accountant.

His inspiration came from an unexpected place—a court case involving cold distillation for forensic DNA extraction. This sparked an idea: what if the same technology could be used to create ultra-pure, high-quality spirits?

He is doing extremely interesting things, extracting and distilling flavours in a vacuum chamber, in order to retain freshness that may be 'cooked' out in a traditional still.
