Enjoy the lively tale of how Fawn rescued a rich story all but lost to history until the fastest growing independent American whiskey brand ever started telling it.

Season 2 started off with a bang! Our first stop was the Dingle Distillery in County Kerry, Ireland where we spent three days at a proper Irish Gathering. We explore the town, the people, the whiskey and learn a lot about real Irish Pubs and old Pagan traditions. Interviews include Dingle's Master Distiller, Graham Coull, his wife Fay, Steven O'Carroll and Hunter Leese from Hotaling & Co.
