Northern Ireland's Distilling Resurgence

from WhiskyCast · host Mark Gillespie/CaskStrength Media

There was a time when Belfast and the surrounding counties led the world in whisky production. Several factors led to that tradition all but disappearing over the last century, but now, the six counties of Northern Ireland are bringing new life to their distilling heritage. We'll visit several of the country's distilleries on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Chivas Brothers faces holiday strikes by distillery and bottling plant workers, while UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has given the country's distillers a break by freezing excise taxes.
