Irish Whiskey Stocks Go Up #drinking #whiskey #history

Irish Whiskey is on the rise thanks to a new distillery in Dublin's Newmarket Square. The new whiskey house, the Teeling Distillery, has grabbed the attention of many a whiskey drinker, and us here at The Drinking Press. Learn a little bit about the distillery and the history of Irish Whiskey through this article in The American Spectator.

A nice tidbit:

Dublin alone had a few dozen whiskey distilleries, such as John Power and Son’s massive John’s Lane distillery. It belched forth 900,000 gallons of liquor per year, employed 275 men and had its own fire-suppression crew.

An 800 Year History of Women and Whiskey #whiskey #startup #drinking #history

This article talks about the long history of women in the whiskey world: whether it be making, distributing, and even gasp drinking it.

Our favorite outtake:

Even if women weren’t the leaders of bootlegging collectives, men made sure they were in the car because they couldn’t be searched by police. Doing so was considered rude, and searching a woman who was driving alone was actually illegal. As a result, women hid flasks in their dresses, drove trucks filled with liquor, and ran multimillion-dollar operations. Women either were hired by syndicates or created their own bootlegging groups.

Visit us at The Drinking Press, and hide some flasks on your person.
