The Irish Bootlegger Whiskey Tasting - 18 November

A little Irish history, a few rebellious characters, and some seriously unusual whiskey. Sláinte!

Irish whiskey has a story worth telling. From its glory days as one of the world's most celebrated spirits to its dramatic decline and remarkable comeback, it's a history filled with fascinating characters, questionable decisions, and more than a little mischief.

On Wednesday, 18 November, we're teaming up with Whisky Mad ZA for The Irish Bootlegger, an evening dedicated to exploring the wonderfully rebellious world of Irish whiskey.

Hosted by Whisky Mad, Irish Whiskey Ambassador, this guided tasting will take you on a journey through the history, heritage, and evolution of Irish whiskey, with some seriously unusual pours along the way.

Forget everything you think you know about Irish whiskey. There's a lot more to it than smooth triple-distilled drams and green bottles.

What to expect:

• A guided exploration of Irish whiskey and its colourful history.

• A selection of unusual and interesting Irish whiskey pours.

• Fascinating stories about the people, distilleries, and traditions that shaped the category.

• An entertaining, informal evening with fellow whiskey enthusiasts.

• Plenty of good conversation and perhaps a little Irish mischief.

Whether you're a seasoned whiskey drinker or simply curious about what makes Irish whiskey so special, this is an evening you won't want to miss.
