According to the Irish Whiskey Association, Irish whiskey exports have grown by 220% since 2003. It is now valued at €350 million. And it is claimed the value of Irish Whiskey exports will double over the next five years.
In tandem with this development is the rise of the educated and savvy customer, one that wants to learn and experience new tastes and products on an ongoing basis.
Publicans are, or if they are not, they should be, thinking of how to capitalise on the Whiskey trend and the stunning whiskeys available on the market.
A Whiskey Bar addition to any location; a hotel, a restaurant, a club or a pub is an exciting prospect with huge potential.
