HarteLines

Hello there, In this week's episode, I chatted with co-founder of Lough Ree Distillery, Lanesborough, Co Longford, Peter Clancy.

Peter talked about how he got into whiskey, how his hometown of Lanesborough became the focal point of the whiskey.
He also talked about launching Sling Shot Gin in 2018, their The Bridge Series Whiskey, Bart's Irish Whiskey which was their first blended whiskey inspired by their father's love for clocks. This was an in depth chat about the story of a family owned micro-distillery in a town that is the bridge from East to West of Ireland, a story about collaboration, getting products to market, sustainability in the form of innovative bottling technology, future plans for the distillery and so much more. Whether you're a regular listener or new to Hartelines, enjoy the episode, and why not share with a friend, also as always remember you are always welcome here on Hartelines.
A massive thank you to Peter for sharing the story of Lough Ree Distillery.
