PAPERBACK · HARDCOVER · KINDLE

A story of conviction. A guide to discovery.
You know the names on the bottles.
Discover the decisions that put them there.
For the history reader, the curious enthusiast and the professional who wants more than a tasting list. Three ways into Ireland’s Spirit.
A comeback begins with a decision. Meet the people who challenged the old order and gave Irish whiskey a different future.
Ireland’s Spirit explores John Teeling’s role in the revival, the endurance of Midleton and Bushmills, and the new wave of craft producers including Dingle, Teeling and Glendalough. The focus is human: what people risked, what they changed, and why their decisions mattered.
