About Louise McGuane:
Louise McGuane left Ireland in 1995 and went on to pursue an international career in the drinks industry living and working in New York, Paris, London and Singapore. She returned home in 2016 to found J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey on her family farm back in Cooraclare. Louise brought back the lost art of Irish Whiskey Bonding, and became the first whiskey bonder in Ireland in over 50 years. She sources whiskies from new and old distilleries all around the Island of Ireland and her goal is to build the most diverse library of Irish Whiskey. She matures and blends award winning whiskies which are now exported all over the world. She is Ireland's only solo female founder in the Irish Whiskey Industry.
