Mark Thompson teams up with historian Dr Fionnan O’Connor to discover the fascinating story of what was once the greatest whiskey industry in the world. Irish whiskey is now enjoying a 21st-century renaissance, with the fastest-growing spirit sales in the world. Once a global player, whose industrial success was almost forgotten, it is a drink with a chequered past. Ulster and Northern Ireland are at the heart of this story - from the Kingdom of Dalriada and the poitin masters of Donegal, to Northern Ireland’s 21st-century pioneers currently resurrecting the brands and blends once counted among the most famous whiskeys in the world. Though Belfast’s industrial golden age is more often associated with shipbuilding and linen production, Mark and Fionnan reveal just how significant a role whiskey had in the growth of Belfast.
