  Ports and Port Finished Whiskey Tasting

  24th April 2025, Wynn's Hotel, Dublin 1

  Dear Members,

  Join us for a unique tasting experience featuring four port wines and four exceptional Irish whiskies, each finished in different port casks.

  What’s in Store:

  • Port Wine Selection: A tasting of four port wines showcasing various styles and ages, including white, LBV, vintage and tawny ports. Once a far more popular drink, but now not as widely consumed, these fortified wines offer a deep dive into their rich, complex flavors.
  • • Kopke Vintage White Port
    • Quinta do Noval Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage Port
    • Quinta Do Passadouro Vintage Port
    • Quinta do Noval Colheita Tawny Port

  •    
    

  • Irish Whiskey Selection: A curated collection of four superb Irish whiskies, each finished in port casks, demonstrating the influence of port on the whiskey’s flavors.
  • • Achill Island Single Malt 2024 Special Ruby Port Edition
    • Liberator Storehouse Special The Reeks - Hag's Tooth Edition
    • Silkie Legendary Ruby Irish Whiskey Cask Strength
    • Teeling Rising Reserve 21-Year-Old Single Malt
      

   

  The tasting experience is devised by Brían Ó Donnchadha, who will guide you through the selections but let the liquids do the talking.
  

  Booking opens on Monday 07th of April at 7.00 p.m. It is necessary to register and complete payment via Stripe (within 15 minutes) to secure your booking.

  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; Eric Ryan, Powers  Whiskey Distiller and Andrew Dickey, Brand Ambassador.

  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.
