 Hi there, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal. I'm bringing you this video today from the fantastic Clonicalty distillery in the tour of Clonicalty in West Cork in Ireland. So just finished the guided experience is about a 40-minute tour and if you've ever wanted to learn all the intricate details that go into producing whiskey I highly highly recommend coming on this. So we're just learning that this distillery at one point There was actually more than 1,000 different whiskey distilleries operating on the island of Ireland Irish whiskey is of course famous, but in modern times it's become more associated with these big drinks labels and our tour guide was Explaining that in recent years the craft whiskey scene like in some other parts of the world is going through a real Renaissance here, so it's actually kind of incredible to think that this distillery is regarded as a quite a small distillery because looking at those Gigantic copper distillation vats absolutely huge We got an incredible amount of information on this tour. We were learning about Irish whiskey It's distilled three times and the huge amount of effort that goes into crafting whiskey You almost feel bad Drinking at the tour does culminate in the tasting room. You can see here. I'm trying some of their whiskets available on their website They ship to customers in Europe and customers beyond in the first few years running a distillery something I thought was really interesting Apparently the distilleries blend different whiskey from different distilleries rather than produce their own That's because the process of making whiskey starting with Harvesting literally the barley in the field molting the barley going through all the fan all the very interesting stages We learned about in the tour that actually takes such a long time that's actually not for the first Number of years, so they were saying that it might be as long as two more years before Their own whiskey all done here Clonic guilty of escort comes to market But given the given the success of certain Irish whiskey brands selling internationally like tealings for instance I think there's definitely a good chance. You're gonna be seeing Clonic guilty whiskey All over the world not too long in the distant future The really interesting thing about this part of the world Clonic guilty the surrounding territory like Artfield is that there's such an Incredible coastal climate which they're explaining is actually a perfect climate for producing whiskey Not too cold in the winter not too warm in the summer and the air and the in this part of the world is actually so rich with sea salt that literally saturates through the Fermentation barrels as the whiskeys aging and in parts that really really unique taste this distillery here They're all of a quality and Bring that sort of unique Westcourt flavor into their whiskey as it sits and matures in those barrels So if you're interested in whiskey or like me You've always been a fan of whiskey being everybody knew too much about it And you're passing through this lovely town of Clonic guilty Westcourt I definitely recommend coming here taking the tour and having some great whiskey as well
