Northern Ireland's first new distillery for 125 years uses grain from the founder's farm. Ruth Sanderson visits and samples on the Ards Peninsula. Founder of the Echlinville Distillery, Shane Braniff is about to cut his barley which will be used to make whiskey. He shows Ruth how the grain is floor malted and walks her through the distillation process, after which the young whiskey is put in oak casks for 8 - 10 years until it is ready. Whiskey is all about time and Shane is prepared to give it all the time it needs.
