Event Description
Ireland and Scotland will go head-to-head to settle the argument over who makes the best whiskey. This light-hearted taste off will be hosted by Diageo, owners of Bushmills and various Scottish whiskey brands. Martin Duffy, Bushmills Ambassador in Ireland, will fight the Irish corner, while Gregor Cattanach, Global Brand Ambassador for Diageo Scotch Whiskies, will represent the Scottish.
