Join me for My Chat with John Teeling.
I met John on the roof balcony of Teeling distillery, in the heart of The Liberties, with all the hustle and bustle of inner city Dublin life all around us.
John Teeling is a legend in the world of Irish Whiskey. He founded Cooley Distillery in the heart of late 1980's Ireland recession, where John Teeling's 2 sons Jack & Steven, both worked with him in the 90's, before they founded Teeling Distillery, after Cooley was sold to Beam Suntory in 2011.
John then went on to buy the old Harp Brewery in Dundalk and quickly converted the site to found Great Northern Distillery, which has established itself as one of the engines driving the Irish whiskey industry.
