‘Hypnotic enough to stop time itself’ - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EdFringeReview
‘Tam Tully fights tragedy and treachery to save her family distillery from ruin by crafting the Holy Grail of whiskey, the perfect single malt.’
Love dry wit? Raw emotion? A rollercoaster of a story? This is a ‘blistering’ dysfunctional family saga set in the 8 generation Kingdom of Mourne Distillery, Newcastle, County Down, now run by an Ulster brethren woman. Men, women, whiskey… now, what’s not to love?!

Reviews
“At the outset of her blistering one-woman show, Joyce Greenaway declares whiskey to be pure emotion distilled and bottled.”
“It is rare to find a story-teller capable of enthralling an entire audience for 90 minutes with nothing more than words and a glass of whiskey.”
“It’s only day one of my time at Fringe Festival but I think I’ve already had my most memorable experience…”
“Outrageously talented… a one woman show like no other… we were FLOORED!”
“Hypnotic, powerful, beautifully written…”
