Introducing our first international podcast recording! Earlier this year, podcast host Melita Kiely enjoyed a whistle-stop trip to Ireland to meet this episode's guest: Zak Oganian, CEO of Origen X. His company is focused on acquiring heritage assets and rebuilding historic brands. So far, Origen X boasts an impressive portfolio that includes Kinahan's Irish whiskey, Ukrainian vodka Mikolasch, and Rhum Bouvil from Haiti.
