Once the first choice of whiskey connoisseurs, Irish pot still whiskey has taken a back seat for years due to revolutions, wars and famine. However, the nation’s number one spirit is undergoing its own revolution with many companies new and old bringing delicious copper pot stills and single malts back from the dead.
If your experience with Irish whiskey has been limited to the blended variety, this collection is an alternative take on the category featuring purely pot-still types and magnificent malts, all coming from from the Emerald Isle. For the full story on the “Pot Luck of the Irish,” see our latest March/April issue of Cigar Aficionado on newsstands March 23.
Dr Bill McCourt, who died on Sunday, was a popular and highly-regarded business figure in Northern Ireland. He was managing director of the Old Bushmills Distillery Ltd from 1976 to 1992, founder of the Northern Ireland branch of the Institute of Management Services, and chairman of the local CBI. He was 90.
He was born in New York, and came to Northern Ireland with his family, aged nine. He was educated at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, but following German air raids on Belfast in 1941 he was evacuated to family friends in Bessbrook in South Armagh.
He became a boarder at the Royal School Dungannon from September 1941, returning to Inst two years later, and finishing his formal education at Belfast Tech.
