I'm no historian but I'd imagine it's probably more to do with the Tudor conquest (or reconquest) of Ireland took place during the 16th century

They would have still been drunk in the 15th century.

I think while they invented it in the 14th century, they spent the 15th century perfecting it. 😅

The distillation process was still in its infancy; whisky itself was not allowed to age, and as a result tasted very raw and brutal compared to today's versions.

Oh, I'm sure. I'm also sure there were many other things going on in that century. I just like the idea that they were drunk as fuck for almost four times as long as I've been drunk.
