European folklore is full of crossover. Stories with the same themes, heroes and villains told across the continent for centuries. Are they myth? Legends? Or do some have an aspect of historical credibility?

The Lady with the Ring is one of these stories, told in Germany, Scandinavia and more, each with a slight change in detail. Each claiming to be the country of the tale's true origin. What if they're wrong? What if the real inspiration is actually from a small town called Lurgan in County Armagh more than 300 years ago?

Does every urban myth contain a kernel of truth? Rumours have been rife for years that a network of tunnels stacked with barrels of whiskey worth millions of pounds exist under Holywood in County Down. Local journalist Jordan Dunbar is on a mission to distil the truth of it all with the promise of commandeering some precious liquid gold.

In this four-part escapade, Jordan learns about the celebrated Dunville family, whose wealth was built on their whiskey brand that became globally famous during the 19th century. It allowed the family to indulge in acts of opulence and eccentricity well into the 20th century. So, might that just include stacking tunnels full of whiskey barrels that have now been left unopened for decades? In a caper that features hot air balloons, private zoos and whiskey tours, Jordan discovers how the fate of the Dunvilles mirrored the fate of the Irish whiskey industry itself. Historians Jason Burke and Robin Masefield give pause for thought on why the rumours of the whiskey in tunnels might just have to be taken seriously after all. But as Jordan increasingly gets into the ‘spirit’ of it all, can he get any closer to the elusive ‘uisce beatha?’

In this final episode, Jordan discovers how a world war and prohibition in the US affected the fate of the Dunville family. Can the mystery of the Dunvilles’ demise really ever be discovered? Back in the present day, the search for tunnels under Holywood reaches a conclusion with tantalising and surprising results.
