Ireland
Irish whiskey is from, you guessed it, Ireland. Coming about in the 12th century, Irish whiskey is one of the earliest distilled drinks in Europe and quickly became one of the most popular. After a steep downturn, the Irish whiskey industry recovered and has been the fastest-growing spirit in the world for almost 30 years.
Fun Fact: The word ‘whiskey‘ comes from the Gaelic uisce beatha, or water of life. We couldn’t agree more.
