The business of Fercullen 15 year old single grain whiskey

John Cashman is the first legal whiskey maker from Co Wicklow.  He makes the Fercullen 15 year old single grain whiskey on the Powerscourt estate and that’s now a recent award winner of the prestigious Worlds Best Grain category.  But with Donald Trump slapping tariffs on all European imports and threats out there to hike that up to 200%, many in the whiskey sector are pausing or reducing output all over Ireland.  John Cashman the Head of Brand at the Powerscourt distillery and a recent whiskey Hall of Fame inductee spoke to Joe this morning all about this business.
