Lost Irish: The Tim Herlihy Interview

This week on The Cocktail Academy Podcast, Damian welcomes back Tim Herlihy, co-founder of Lost Irish Whiskey, storyteller, and longtime champion of Irish hospitality.

Tim’s journey is anything but ordinary — from working on his family’s egg farm in Termonfeckin, County Louth, to becoming U.S. Ambassador for Tullamore D.E.W., and now building a modern Irish whiskey brand that celebrates the global Irish diaspora.


In this episode we cover:

  • The buzz of the Irish House takeover at Tales of the Cocktail and why it marked such a powerful moment for Ireland’s bartenders, brands, and hospitality.
  • Tim’s leap from farming to whiskey through the Bord Bia Fellowship and his early work with Cooley Distillery.
  • Nearly a decade with Tullamore D.E.W., helping the brand grow across the U.S. and beyond.
  • The spark behind Lost Irish Whiskey — how the concept of the Irish diaspora became both the story and the liquid.
  • Sourcing casks from six continents, blending challenges, and the unexpected flavours that shaped the final whiskey.
  • Why bottle design details like grip, cork acoustics, and visibility on the back bar were crucial to the brand’s identity.
  • Insights from co-authoring From Barley to Blarney with the Dead Rabbit team, and how it influenced Tim’s approach to storytelling.
  • What makes Irish pubs such enduring cultural spaces — unpretentiousness, community, and conversation.


Tim also shares his quickfire takes:

  • Banished forever: Aquafaba in cocktails.
  • Favourite cocktail experience: Irish Coffees at the Buena Vista Café in San Francisco.
  • Best pint of Guinness in Ireland: The Palace Bar, Dublin.
  • Best pint abroad: Graces Bar on 14th Street, New York City.
