My Live Chat with Ger Buckley, Midleton's Master Cooper

Join me for My Live Chat with Ger Buckley, Midleton's Master Cooper. I was asked to host a whiskey event at the Cork on a Fork food festival in Cork city in Aug 2025. I decided to do a Live Podcast episode in the iconic Hi-B bar in the heart of Cork city. The Hi-B notoriously doesn't allow mobile phones and encourages people actually talking to each other. I know, innovative..! So I couldn't think a better place to host Midleton Master Cooper Ger Buckley for a chat about the Dair Ghaelach or Irish Oak series of whiskeys that he and the team pioneered at Midleton Disitillery. This was recorded in front of a Live audience, the placed was packed out the door....... with 35 people... A big Thank You to Rachel O'Donnell, owner and proprietor of the Hi-B, for giving over the use of the bar on a busy festival Saturday afternoon.
