BRC EP 2 - Ghost Whiskey and The Guru

On this episode of Barrel Room Chronicles, A Glass Apart Author Fionnán O’Connor, shares how his academic career collided with the water of life. As an undergrad at UC Berkeley, he taught a one unit class in the Celtic Studies department about the amber spirit. This experience helped lead him into his post graduate work on the history of lost Irish Whiskeys. With a grant from the Irish government and the cooperation of Boann Distillery, O’Connor will be the first person to have a PHD in “Ghost Whiskey.”

Also appearing on this episode is Jonathan Pogash, The Cocktail Guru. Pogash tells how he became one of the most premiere cocktail consultants and bartenders for restaurants and spirit companies in the nation.
