In this episode of Barrel Room Chronicles, I had the pleasure of interviewing Aidan Mehigan from Natterjack Irish Whiskey. Aidan shared the fascinating story behind the Natterjack toad mascot and how the whiskey is a blend of Irish and American flavor profiles. We discussed their award-winning Cast Strength whiskey and their plans for expansion in the US market, including California. Aidan also shared insights into their sourcing process from Great Northern Distillery and their unique approach to blending and distilling.
Later in the episode, Chef Louise Leonard joined me to taste the Natterjack Irish Whiskey. We discussed the light and smooth characteristics of the whiskey, which led to a creative pairing idea of sautéed frog's legs flambéed with the whiskey. Louise shared her expertise on preparing frog's legs and how the whiskey's flavor profile would complement the dish.
