Exploring Waterford's Whisk(e)y Revolution

A county in Ireland that five years ago didn’t have a single
distillery is an unlikely location for some of the greatest
innovation in the Irish whiskey world today, but a small county
in the sunny south east of Ireland is leading a whiskey
revolution. In this second episode of 2019, we’re off to
Waterford.


We’re heading due East from the last episode where we went behind
the scenes at the old Midleton Distillery. This week we’re an
hour’s drive from Midleton in a county whose name and capital
city to most Americans and especially to generations of Irish
Americans is synonymous with the famous crystal that for years
was the standard gift for weddings.


But the county is making a fast name for itself in the whiskey
world. We examine that in this week's episode exploring Waterford
Distillery, Blackwater Distillery, Henry Downes Bar and
Revolution Bar.
