The practice of distilling spirit in unlicensed stills has been the subject of many a tale in rural Ireland.
In years past, the practice of distilling liquor wasn’t unfamiliar in rural communities. The distillation process used a copper coil or ‘worm’. This short film reflects on those times and the title of the film refers to the enthusiasm of those distilling not wishing to wait for the spirit to collect but suck (or sook) it straight from the coil (worm).
