Join us for an evening celebrating the whiskies of Achill Island Distillery, Ireland's first island whiskey distillery. Founded by John McKay in 2015, the family owned company opened its distillery and visitor centre on Achill Island in 2019. Located on the Wild Atlantic Way, the distillery produces and matures its whiskeys on the island, where the maritime climate helps shape their distinctive character. It is also the home of the award winning IrishAmerican whiskey range. Hosted by Paul McKay. Whiskies on the night will include: Achill Island Single Malt Bourbon Cask. Achill Island Single Malt Bordeaux Cask Finish. Achill Island Single Pot Still. A selection of whiskeys from the IrishAmerican range.Read More
County Louth, ‘the Wee County’ and Leinster’s smallest, has a whiskey scene that punches well above its weight, with production thriving at Cooley and the Great Northern Distillery.
The Louth Whiskey Society, founded by Lorcan Dunne, hosts tastings in Dundalk, bringing people together to enjoy, explore and deepen their appreciation of Irish whiskey.
Structured tastings offer a better way to discover your preferences, allowing you to compare samples, refine your palate, and have some fun along the way. Whether you're drawn to flavour, history or rare bottles, each session is about finding what resonates with you.
Our events welcome all levels of experience, with a focus on relaxed, engaging and educational tastings. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just whiskey curious, you’ll find a warm céad míle fáilte at the Louth Whiskey Society. Sláinte!
