It's been said that Irish whiskey was the first spirit ever distilled. They're talking about something that might have occurred around 1 AD. However, it really doesn't matter if you've tried 2 Gingers Irish Whiskey today. Founder and Iron Bee supporter Kieran Folliard stops by the house, and what ensues is an interesting discussion on how he has been able to produce a fine Irish spirit. Look for similarities. AHA and Mazer Cup medalist Matt Weide stops in for a chat about bittering, something completely overlooked by many in home meadmaking. And finally, a few of our Facebook friends gets some answers to a few questions.
