    Private Bottles from Public Houses!

    13th November 2024 (Wednesday), Arthur's Pub, Dublin 8

    The Irish public house, or as we fondly call it, "the pub", has long been at the heart of our social gatherings. Over the years, the pub has evolved, keeping up with popular trends, but one thing has always stayed true - our deep-rooted love for whiskey, in all its glorious forms and finishes.

    Excitingly, some of the most innovative bar owners have embraced this passion, collaborating with distilleries and bonders to create their own unique, bespoke whiskey bottlings.

    And tonight, we are thrilled to present you with five exceptional bottles from different corners of Ireland, each with its own rich story to tell. Let’s take a journey through the tastes and craftsmanship of these fantastic creations.


    • Our adventure begins in the heart of the midlands with: Sean’s Bar, Athlone. Dark amber in color, it offers a sweet, rich nose with vanilla and caramel. The taste starts smooth, evolving into dry spices, and finishes with a tingling peppery spice.
    • Next, we head to the bustling capital and the home of the Poitín revival: Bar 1661, Dublin, in collaboration with JJ Corry. A stunning 7-year-old single malt bonder’s edition, finished in amontillado, Pedro Ximenez, and fino sherry casks, boasting a robust ABV of 47.2%.
    • It’s just a short hop from there to the ancient capital of Ireland: Christy’s Bar, Kilkenny, in collaboration with Two Stacks. This is a powerful 6-year-old single malt, single cask, finished in second-fill honey bourbon casks, with an ABV of 56.6%.
    • Onwards to Ireland's oldest city: Revolution Bar, Waterford, in partnership with Irish Distillers Limited. Here we have the Green Spot Single Pot Still, a single cask release yielding just 174 bottles at a cask strength of 59.6%, after maturing in a bourbon barrel.
    • Our final stop brings us to the charming village of Ardmore: Aimsir/Cliff House Hotel worked with Origin Spirits to present a truly unique Currach Single Malt, finished in Atlantic Kombu Seaweed Casks and Killahora Orchards Apple Ice Wine Casks, hitting a bold ABV of 55.7%.

    While we’ll provide a brief introduction to each of these rare gems, tonight is really about savoring these remarkable creations, each one a perfect snapshot of craftsmanship and time. 

    Booking opens on Friday 25th of October at 7.00 p.m.  Join the waiting list to be notified as we might be able to get more spots for the event.  It is necessary to register and complete payment via Stripe (within 15 minutes) to secure your booking.

    President's Fundraiser Tasting 2024

    27th November 2024 (Wednesday), Jameson Distillery,

    Bow Street, Smithfield, Dublin 7


    As President, I have the honour of choosing the final event of the calendar year. My aim is to schedule a memorable whiskey event for members, but in addition I have long wanted to use the opportunity to raise money for charity.

    I am delighted that in full support of both those goals, Irish Distillers has generously agreed to host the IWS in the Jameson Distillery Bow Street on Wednesday 27th November.

    Andrew Dickey, the IDL Brand Engagement and Advocacy Team Manager has tirelessly collaborated with multiple departments in Irish Distillers, and developed a fantastic whiskey experience for IWS members. The proceeds from the event and raffle will be donated to the Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People on Bow Street, just around the corner from the Jameson Distillery. The raffle tickets will be sold through a separate portal (details to follow).

    Members from around the country will have the opportunity to attend in person or online as the event will be streamed live to the IWS YouTube Channel and recorded by Gashke Productions.

    The evening will start at 7pm when members are greeted in the upstairs bar in Bow Street with a Jameson cocktail and some hearty food. At 8pm the tasting will be presented by Eric Ryan and Andrew Dickey.



    They will guide us through 6 exquisite whiskeys from the best of Midleton including:

    •   Redbreast 27
    •   Midleton Dair Gaelach Kilranelagh Wood
    •   4 Cask Draws from components of the Midleton premium range


    Registration will be €40 each and will open at 7pm sharp on Monday 4th November. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis. There will be a choice between attending in person or online. The registration price will be the same for both, as those attending in person will be offered food and those attending remotely will have sample packs posted to them.
    I am very grateful to Irish Distillers Limited for their generosity and to the staff who have dedicated time and resources to this fund raising event. I am also indebted to the IWS Team who have worked so hard to make this event happen.

    Sláinte mhaith,
    Brían Ó Donnchadha
