Ireland is once again a haven for whiskey lovers from around the world. Back in 1800, there were 400 different types of Whiskey available in Ireland - and at this time, Ireland produced 60% of all whiskey worldwide. Although it was a glorious time for Irish Whiskey, it was not to last and due to many different factors, the production of whiskey almost ceased. Today, distilleries are fighting back in an effort to recreate that golden era.
