Breakfast Business

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.
