Christy Collard, a timber build artist and designer from West Cork led the design and construction of the Jameson Connects stage at this year’s All Together Now festival, which he built in collaboration with Nineyards.   This circular structure, built from Sitka spruce timbers shaped into an arch, mirrors the form of a barrel rising from the ground—creating a unique experience for concert goers.   A new addition this year was a merchandise shop, with all proceeds supporting charitable causes. The timber used in the construction is an industry by-product, typically considered waste, yet it was repurposed into a permanent structure. According to Christy, the most rewarding aspect of this project is seeing how people engage with the space. Ultimately, it’s the combination of people and music that brings the stage—and the entire initiative—to life.   #IrishDistillers #ATN #Jameson

We are proud to introduce a remarkable new addition to the Redbreast collection: Redbreast 18 Year Old. This exceptional single pot still whiskey has been expertly crafted by our Master Blender Dave McCabe and Master Blender Emeritus Billy Leighton, drawing inspiration from the rich inventory at Midleton Distillery, and embracing a wide array of cask types including the exciting addition of cream sherry casks form the renowned Antonio Páez Lobato cooperage.     Redbreast 18 Year Old exhibits a refreshing flavour profile, with a syrupy sweetness that acts as the perfect companion to the traditional Redbreast taste, and bursting with berry fruit aromas, toasted almond and cinnamon notes, hazelnut chocolate tones, and caramelised stone fruit sweetness. Bridging the gap between our older and younger offerings, Redbreast 18 Year Old not only honours our heritage but also showcases our commitment to innovation in Irish whiskey making.    See more: https://lnkd.in/eP-UCXqh   #Redbreast18YearOld #IrishWhiskey #IrishDistillers
