Celtic Whiskey Fest 2022

Posted by Hannah Osbourne Monday 17th October 2022 0 Comment(s) Sláinte,

 

Celtic Whiskey Fest is back! After the incredible success of our online-only festival last year we’ve brought it back - but with a bit of change.

 

 

This year we’ve decided to make the most of the lack of Covid and split our events into three areas! The first is our Dublin based tasting that will be happening throughout November with our incredible whiskey specialists and some inspiring guests! For the second element, we will be offering unique tasting packs so anyone who is unable to join us in person can still be part of the fun. And the third and final element is the 2 exclusive tasting dinners in The Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder we will be hosting.

 

 

Now on to some of our incredible 2022 programme

 


 

Paul John Dublin Tasting Event

 

When: 27th October

Availability: Good

Join us this October 27th for a stunning Celtic Whiskey Fest tasting event on the 2nd floor at Drury Buildings for an unforgettable evening with Master Blender & Distiller Michael Da Souza who will be flying all the way over from India to join us on this night! From the tropical coasts of Goa, the Paul John Indian Single Malts are made from carefully chosen indigenous ingredients and matured to perfection in Goa’s tropical climate. This is the perfect opportunity to explore and appreciate what Indian whiskey has to offer and to sample rare delights such as Paul John Mithuna which is sold at retail for €245!
