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!
