Simply Whisky feature – Irish mastery: whiskies and their makers
Some say whiskey was first made in Ireland. After a long time out of the limelight (due to, for example, prohibition, the introduction of the column still, and Irish independence from Britain) the Irish whiskey industry is now taking huge strides forward with new distilleries opening throughout the land (Northern Ireland and Ireland). There has never been a better time to visit and so in September 2015 we did just that.
