I have driven almost 70 kms through a wooded countryside and narrow roads that sweep into sharp hairpin bends to find the sea running along beside me as I near Dingle, a town in Count Kerry, Ireland, the most westerly in Europe. I am seeking out The Dingle Whiskey Distillery, which for some strange reason is not on nodding terms with my GPS system.

Each copper pot still holds 300 litres of whiskey. Representation pic
