The Irish word for whiskey, 'uisce beatha' (literally the 'water of life'), demonstrates just how important the spirit is in the Irish consciousness. You can learn all about the 'demon drink' during a tour of this disused distillery - and don't forget to visit the Ball O'Malt Bar afterwards for some indulgent whiskey-tasting. It's also a great place to pick up some Irish-themed gifts for those at home.
