Description

Roving reporter Charlie Witherspoon takes his bike to Ballyclare for this look at an unusually named local whiskey. Charlie gets the lowdown on the label design and name of Barrage Balloon Whiskey and, of course, finds time to give it a quick sample to boot.

This report was shot for a series called 7 Degrees West, a kind of early forerunner of Lesser Spotted Ulster, which saw features on old traditions and off-the-beaten-track places. Although the complete programmes, which included studio material, have gone from the archives, a number of these filmed location shoots featuring Charlie on his bike have survived. Look out for others in the Digital Film Archive.
