Powerscourt Distillery: Fercullen Irish Whiskey Tasting
April 05th 2024 at 7:30pm
We are delighted to announce our April tasting with Powerscourt Distillery featuring some exceptional Fercullen Irish Whiskey expressions, as well as two exclusive samples from the maturation warehouse.
Powerscourt Distillery is located in picturesque Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow, on the the grounds of beautiful Powerscourt Estate. The formerly Old Mill House has been refurbished and since 2019 it has been the location of the Distillery and it's Visitors Centre.
We're delighted to welcome Powerscourt back to the town where our members will get to join in a tasting in the legendary Foxy John's pub with a chance to sample some of the award winning Fercullen Whiskey range, which has been expanded since their previous visit. We will sample the third and final release of their 'Gates' Series, matured in an Amarone cask and also their excellent 21 year old single malt.
We are also thrilled to have a couple of very special samples from their maturation warehouse specially selected by Alan Malone and Kevin McParland for this Irish Whiskey Society tasting, sampling an upcoming collaboration between the distillery and Dick Macks pub utilising one of their coffee stout casks and a future Dick Macks bottling from an unusual cask purchased by the pub.
