Dear Members,
The Irish Whiskey Society is delighted to be joined by the lovely folks from Hinch Distillery for our May end-of-month tasting.
Hinch distillery officially opened its doors on 31 March 2021, making them one of the newest distilleries on the island. While young, they came out swinging and have released amazing expressions, with the following to be enjoyed on the night:
5 Year Old - Double Wood
15 Year Old - Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish - Batch 1
Warehouse 3 - Madeira Refill
Warehouse 3 - Oloroso Finish
We will also be one of the first to taste their brand new malts forged in the stills of County Down, malts that have been patiently maturing in their warehouses and are ready for the spotlight:
Hinch Single Malt
Hinch Peated Single Malt

The Heartlands of Irish Whiskey
14th of June, Tullamore & Kilbeggan (Bus Tour)
The Irish Whiskey Society is delighted to announce our upcoming visit to the Heartlands of Irish Whiskey!
Members will hop on board the Society's very own Whiskey Bus in Dublin city centre at 09:00 on Saturday June 14th before being whisked off to the heartlands to visit the Kilbeggan and Tullamore D.E.W. distilleries. 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.
Booking opens on Thursday 1st of May at 7.00 p.m. It is necessary to register and complete payment via Stripe (within 15 minutes) to secure your booking.
