The All Ireland Members Group dinner in Cork offers an ideal opportunity to meet up with colleagues and friends, provides an opportunity to recognise and reward staff and to network across the industry, or perhaps entertain key clients.

Speaker

Brian Nation, Master Distiller, Irish Distillers

Responsible for maintaining the quality of all new pot and grain distillates produced at Midleton Distillery; Brian oversees the production process from brewing to distillation and holds the position of tasting all whiskeys daily, to ensure the correct flavours and that pot still spiciness is present.

Brian joined the Irish Distillers team in December 1997, as an Environmental Engineer. From there he moved into the Engineering Department working with the Group Engineering Manager overseeing various projects until 2002. Brian then moved on to train as a distiller, working under former Master Distiller Barry Crockett for 10 years before finally being appointed as Master Distiller in 2013. Brian also won the Worshipful Company Distillers Award for achieving the highest IBD distilling exam results in the world in 2006 – the first Irish distiller to receive the award.

Brian graduated from Cork Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Engineering and later received a post graduate diploma in Project Management from University of Limerick.
