The Night Whiskey Destroyed Dublin

A Jameson TV commercial a few years ago tells the tale of how
John Jameson saved his precious whiskey from The Great Dublin
Fire of 1789. In order to save his whiskey from the flames
engulfing the city, he singlehandedly saves his precious liquid
by breaking a dam, flooding Dublin and ensuring his whiskey
didn’t go to waste. A fanciful tale, that is of course a work of
fiction.


But it pales in comparison to the real fire of Dublin almost a
hundred years later where it was the whiskey that did the damage
and almost wiped out the city. We’re going to tell that tale in
this episode.
