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!

Society Membership image
The Louth Whiskey Society does not charge an annual membership fee. The society focuses on hosting tasting events and does not engage in higher cost activities such as cask shares. Its aim is to provide straightforward, accessible and affordable tasting experiences. As a not for profit society, all proceeds from ticket sales are used to cover the costs of running monthly events.


One more sold out event to add to the books, Louth must have a serious thirst for the Spirit of Belfast.
The team from Echlinville will be with us tomorrow night to showcase the very best of Dunville's Irish Whiskey.
