It’s a whiskey festival.
Not a whisky festival.

The older distilleries are expanding to meet global demand and there are new distilleries being built around the entire country. The wheels are in motion for Irish whiskey to make a massive comeback! So why not celebrate with some of the best venues in the capital city?
Dublin Whiskey Fest kicks off on February 16 and runs until February 21st.
Twenty five venues [see below] are coming on board and each one of them will be offering up a special Irish whiskey drink at a 30% discount.
As Irish whiskey is such a versatile spirit, we wanted the venues to feature their choice of one of five different serves. So each venue will be selling either a hot toddy, an Irish coffee, an Irish whiskey cocktail, a pairing with a local beer or just a neat serve.

all weekdays. grrrreat
Feb. 21st is a Saturday
You’d think that they would clean the glass before photographing it.
Oh good, not just me then. I point out politicians with dirty shoes too.
LOL, OCD much?
Nah, not me. Just believe that if you’re gonna do a photo shoot, clean your props and if you’re gonna stand on the steps of your country’s parliament and announce a Budget, clean your fuppin’ shoes.
I read somewhere that people announce that they’re OCD just to sound interesting.
When I say I’m ACDC, I get some strange looks.
Shocking.
You know you didn’t get enough sleep last night when bar names p!ss you off
It all looked nice and lovely until they mentioned ‘cocktails’…. that’s no way to appreciate good whiskey IMO.
Very true but they have to attract a wider audience to sustain it I suppose. Doubt they are thrilled about it either.
Whiskey Sour? Old Fashioned? Manhattan?
Lots of perfectly good cocktails based on whiskey.
To some people maybe, but, as I said, “IMO” :)
It is REALLY hard to beat a well made Old Fashioned – especially one made with Woodford Reserve bourbon.
This seems to be an Irish whiskey-fest though and Old Fashioneds don’t work really well with that.
Your opinion is wrong so…
