Changing of the Guard at Ireland's Midleton Distillery

Master Blender Billy Leighton's recent decision to step aside from day to day work at Irish Distillers gave his longtime apprentice the dream job of a lifetime. Dave McCabe is the new Master Blender for Jameson, Redbreast, Powers, and other Irish Whiskey brands, and we'll talk with him on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Irish Whiskey exports posted a decline in 2023, while Islay's Ardnahoe Distillery is shutting down part of its visitors center. We'll have the details on those and other stories, including another new distillery for Kentucky.
