Colum Egan - Bushmills Irish Whiskey Master Distiller
With St. Patrick’s Day upon us, it is time to put down the green beer and drink what real men and women in Ireland drink – Irish Whiskey. And while many people know about it, few actually know what happens at one of the three remaining whiskey distilleries left in Ireland. In addition to talking about how whiskey is made, Bushmill's Irish Whiskey Master Distiller, Colum Egan, can also share his stories about funny experiences between him and the others who work there. Whether it’s watching one of his guys fall into a barrel or practical jokes they play on each other, it’s easy to see how they always make time for a good laugh.  For the first time ever, Colum can also provide more information on how you can win a 30-day apprenticeship to see if you can “Make it at Bushmills.” Winners will get to experience everything the distillery and local area has to offer.
