Event Description

To celebrate the end of a successful first year, we will try some of the very best Irish whiskeys available. The provisional line-up includes Midleton Very Rare, Bushmills 21yo and Tyrconnell 15yo. There will also be a "surprise" from each of the three distilleries (ie Bushmills, Cooley and Midleton).

This meeting will be preceded by the AGM of the society at 7pm. We ask non-members and those not attending the AGM to come at 7:45pm and we will begin the tasting at 8pm.
