My Irish Whiskey Association Chat with Director Eoin O'Catháin

About this episode

Laurie O'Dwyer chats with Eoin O'Catháin about the Irish Whiskey Association and its role in advocating for Irish whiskey.

Join me for My Irish Whiskey Association Chat with Director Eoin O'Catháin. Eoin has been Director of the IWA for over 2.5 years. We sat for a chat in a busy Doheny & Nesbitt pub on Dublin's Baggot St, a real charming boozer in the heart of Dublin city. Eoin and I chatted about how the IWA advocates for and protects the Irish Whiskey category internationally and went down many other rabbit-holes...
