My Ardara Distillery Chat with James Doherty

from Whiskey Chats Hosted by Laurie O'Dwyer

Join me for My Ardara Distillery Chat with James Doherty. James and Moira O'Doherty founded Sliabh Liag Distillers and began releasing their Silkie range of sourced smoky whiskeys, just as the covid lockdown hit, as well as An Dúlamán Irish Maritime gins. James and Moira returned to Ireland from their last pit-stop in Hong Kong, to pick up James's family legacy of distilling 'Inishowen' style or smoky whiskeys again, in his family's native Donegal. Inishowen whiskey was once a by-word for smoky whiskeys, throughout the British Empire and the world. Their 'recently' commissioned Ardara Distillery is sight to behold, resonating with Islay's distillery's style and I had a fantastic return visit with Jim to see the operation in full swing.
