Episode Synopsis

Coming together might have saved Irish whiskey, for now, but despite huge re-investment, it was still struggling to make an impact once again around the world.

Fending off hostile take-overs, it needed to grow quickly or Irish whiskey as a product would soon disappear.

Pernod-Ricard’s welcome take-over in 1988 offered a game-changing platform to the world and the Irish whiskey renaissance finally began and an ancient Irish industry sprung up once again.
