About this listen

In this episode, we sit down with Paul Corbett, Master Distiller at Powerscourt Distillery, for a fascinating look at the winding road that led him to the heart of Irish whiskey making. From working in an experimental vineyard under the Australian sun to navigating the challenges of the 2008 recession, Paul's journey is anything but ordinary.

He shares how his move to Edinburgh rekindled his passion for spirits, eventually bringing him back to Ireland where he honed his craft with industry pioneers like Teeling and Clonakilty. Through candid stories and insightful reflections, Paul talks about the skills, setbacks, and serendipity that shaped his path to becoming one of the most respected names in the Irish whiskey scene today.
