Midleton Masters Return to Dingle
For our May tasting, IWS Dingle are both delighted & privileged to welcome back to the town the centre of the Midleton universe: Kevin O Gorman, Master Distiller and Eric Ryan, Powers Whiskey Distiller.
We say privileged because it is only possible to get these legends together on just a very few occasions during the year and for us to be able to welcome them all back to Dingle together again is extremely fortuitous indeed. Each will explain just how Midleton make their precious whiskey and a cooper may disassemble and assemble a cask for us, using the skills taught to him by one of his predecessors. Unfortunately Ger Buckley is away on business in the U.S. and will be unable to attend on this occasion. On previous occasions, this event has generated huge interest in both in Dick Mack's yard and here in Paul Geaney's and we are really looking forward to tasting what are always some brilliant and excellent whiskeys.
This is a unique opportunity to sample some whiskeys which we may never get to taste again. There will be some very cracking whiskeys to be imbibed including some amazing cask samples which will be truly special and perhaps an idea of what Irish Distillers have coming down the line!!!
We are very grateful to the management & staff of Paul Geaney's Pub, Main Street, Dingle, for hosting this tasting for us.
We cannot implore you all enough to get booking asap as this event will sell out in record time. This will be a very special evening indeed.
NB. No cash accepted on the night, please book your ticket using the link provided.
Why not become a society member? You'll support the society and save on tastings at the same time.

Dear Members,
The Irish Whiskey Society is delighted to announce our upcoming visit to the Heartlands of Irish Whiskey!

We will have lunch in between the visits at the historic Old Warehouse Restaurant in Tullamore, the original home of Tullamore D.E.W Whiskey, dating back to 1829.
The Society will have the distilleries to ourselves during the visits, so members will be able to savour the sights, sounds and scenery at each distillery, with some free time to visit the gift shops, take photographs and enjoy the experience.
The event will include:
Coach hire for the day, to take us to each location in comfort
A tour and upgraded tasting at the Kilbeggan Distillery
A two course lunch at the historic Old Warehouse Restaurant in Tullamore
A welcome drink, tour, tasting and warehouse visit at the Tullamore D.E.W. Distillery
The IWS Whiskey Bus will return to Dublin at approximately 18:00, so it will be a full and fun day out. There are only 50 tickets for this once-off event.
