“Pep in Your Step” IWS Fundraiser Tasting

Friday 29th May, Wynn's Hotel, Dublin 1 & Online (YouTube)

Dear Members,

The Irish Whiskey Society is delighted to announce our May End of Month tasting, which will raise valuable funds to support the important work of the Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People. The Day Centre provides over 345,000 hot meals a year and 1,450 food parcels a week to support homeless people and people in need.

 

RCN:20166120

We would like to acknowledge the efforts of our own long-time member Petr Blechta (Whiskey Pep) who has done amazing work in sourcing not only a great range of whiskeys for the night, but also in securing a wide array of special prizes for a fundraiser raffle (LINK TO FUNDRAISER EVENT PAGE).



On behalf of its members, the IWS would also like to express our sincere gratitude for the generosity of the Irish Whiskey Industry, who have supported this fundraiser by donating some really wonderful samples and prizes. They are also donating their time as we will have distillery representatives on hand on the night to discuss their whiskeys, including Michael Cowman from Redacted, Eoin Cooney from Teeling, Patrick Gray-Sloan from Killowen, Stephen Magennis from Dunville’s, Mark Lonergan from Copeland and Paul Costello & Dan Pennington from Cork Whiskey Society.

On the night, members will taste a wide range of rare or as-yet unseen whiskeys including the following, with potentially more whiskeys being added to the lineup:

  • Redacted: Single Pot Still Naggin, Foret de Troncais Cask (42.5% ABV)
  • Carnlough: Malt/Pot Still Blend, Tawny Port Cask (46% ABV)
  • Teeling: Rising Reserve 5, PX Sherry Cask (46% ABV)
  • Boann: Single Pot Still, Greek Oak Cask (56.85% ABV)

  • Killowen: Cask 186, Mixed Mashbill, Oloroso Cask (60.44% ABV)
