Publisher’s Statement
Welcome to our second Annual Go Wild Irish Spirits magazine and our 6th Go Wild magazine Publication for 2023.
In September 2022, we decided to add our very own Gin & Whiskey title to our list of Go Wild magazines and based on the success of our 2022 title, we have driven on and created this lovely title that is currently nestled in your hands. Thank you from me personally for making the purchase.
You will see from the contents page and the quantity of both Gin & Whiskey editorials that our Editor Suzanne Redmond has once again done, is an amazing job, as she has tried to cater for all tastes and ages in her editorial selections.
As is so often the case, adversity drives innovation and provides us with new ways of thinking and working. This really shone out to me when I researched and found the multiple new developments that are currently happening
Iam once again delighted to welcome back our readers and to thank you for your support. As spirit enthusiasts ourselves, it is exciting and fun to share the experiences, sights, and smells with you, whilst learning something new. We couldn’t do it without you or our advertisers, so Thank You.
We have tried to pack in as many fun and interesting articles as we could, to give you, our reader, a relaxed and informative read.
We are sure many of you have an opinion on peated/ smoky whiskeys, so I kindly ask that you read our piece, giving an insight to peat, after all, my own lover affair with peated whiskeys did not start well but has evolved into a cosy love, that now the first whiff will take me home. in both the Whiskey and Gin industries in Ireland, all of which are detailed for you in Suzanne’s editorials on the following pages.
I hope that you really enjoy this Go Wild Irish Spirits magazine and please note that it is only made possible by the support of our featured advertising partners, so please support each of them as they support us.

This issue we got to pour a dram and quiz infamous whiskey writer, Gavin D Smith about Irish whiskey and what intrigues him most, we also chat to ‘Whiskey Legend’, Brian Nation on his move from Midelton to Minneapolis. We still miss you, Brian.
As a woman in the whiskey world, I looked around and saw the many other women in whiskey who inspire me. All these fun, hardworking women never ask for the spotlight, but why not shine a light on a few of them. #GirlPower
