The Story of Whiskey in Dublin
b'DUBLIN WHISKEY The Spirit Of Dublin \\u2013 A Craft Revival
Dublin has traditionally been the heart of the Irish whiskey industry. During Walter Teeling\\u2019s time there were over 37 different distilleries in Dublin. The Liberties area of Dublin in particular was recognised as the epicentre for Dublin whiskey and was dubbed the \\u2018Golden Triangle\\u2019 due to the number of distilleries clustered in a one mile radius. During the 19th century Dublin whiskey became globally recognised as the Premier whiskey in the world.
Renowned for its \\u201csmooth\\u201d and unique \\u201ccharacter\\u201d it sold at a premium to all other types of whiskey. As a result of this success some of the largest distilleries in the world emerged from these small craft Dublin distillers. Unfortunately as Irish whiskey fell on hard times so did distilling in Dublin and the last still ran cold in 1976 until now.
