Calling all whiskey drinkers - Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey Week is taking place from November 9th - 16th.

It's the first nationwide celebration of Irish whiskey, featuring most of Ireland's best brands, and will be happening in a host of venues throughout the country.

Oisin Davis of Great Irish Beverages - Promoting and Publicising Irish Made Drink - joined Ivan on this evening's edition of the Hard Shoulder to walk him through the history of whiskey, and why Irish Single Pot Still is making such a strong comeback.
