In episode 12 we talk to Carol Quinn from the Midleton Archive. With documents and artifacts dating back to the infancy of Irish Whiskey this valuable record has been a source of fascination, inspiration and education for whiskey makers and enthusiasts since Carol's work started approximately 10 years ago. Recently the Jameson employee records have been made available through the Ancestry website and these can be found at https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61942/. We talk about this collection, the way the archive influences the culture within Irish Distillers, and how the branding of whiskeys continues to be inspired by the labels of the past. There's a lot more to enjoy. It was a fascinating conversation in which we hear about the lives and the conditions of distillery workers in the previous centuries.
