Youghal to focus on Irish whiskey
President of the Irish Academy Nicholas Canny, Alicia St Leger of the Irish Georgian Society, and master distiller Barry Crockett are amongst the luminaries who will pore over the subject at the two-day event, which is sponsored by Youghal Town Council and the McCarthy family.
The conference topics will include ‘The lives of Cork distilling families’, ‘Innovation and success within the industry’ and ‘The role of bread and beer in the domestic economy’.
