The Legacy Of Irish Whiskey With Egan's
Many of us have heard stories about property or businesses that our not-too-distant ancestors owned, and if you have, you probably thought, \u2018what a shame that got closed down or sold', but what if you could resurrect the past and re-establish what had been lost?\xa0
This is exactly what the descendants of P&H Egan, an old Irish Whiskey brand from Tullamore, in county Offaly, decided to do.\xa0
Known to produce some of the finest Irish whiskey in the world for over 100 years, Egan\u2019s (which also dealt with general groceries) was forced to close at the end of the 1960s due to the advent of retail supermarkets.\xa0
But back in 2013, fifth and sixth-generation family members got together to reprise the dormant enterprise and have since been sourcing and ageing expressions that celebrate their lineage.\xa0
To find out more, we talk to Egan\u2019s Master Bonder, Rupert Egan, about legacy, conviction and how to plan your future after resurrection.\xa0
