A Sip of Irish, directed by Frank Mannion, celebrates the incredible story of Ireland's contribution to the world of whiskey, stout and spirits with some unexpected discoveries along the way. It features Deirdre O'Carroll the blender of Jameson whiskey and Rory Guinness (descendant of the Guinness founder) with cameos from wine writer Oz Clarke, TV presenter Laura Whitmore, acclaimed publican Oisin Rogers, Una Healy, Pat Shortt, Michael Flatley (founder of Flatley Whiskey), Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill (who grew up in Tyrone) and the Donegal-based Muff Liquor Co in which Russell Crowe is a proud investor. A Sip of Irish tells a fascinating story that will astound viewers who think of Ireland as just the home of Guinness. The film has a strong local Donegal connection with Muff Liquor Co and Kinnegar Brewing being featured in the film The Sunday Times called the film "enchanting", the Guardian "a cheerful celebration of beloved tipples of Irish origin" and the Mail "poured to perfection - raise a glass to this cinematic gem!"
