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:
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.
