The Pot Still Irish Whiskeys of Midleton tasting event
Join us for a premium whiskey tasting at the Ancient Order of Hibernians’ 8th Annual Celtic Street Faire on September 14, where we’ll discuss and sample some outstanding examples of Midleton’s single pot still brands. We’ll still be holding our public tasting event at Felix Street Square featuring some great whiskeys, wines, and beers, but these special whiskeys will only be available at our premium event.
What is single pot still whiskey? How did it come about? What makes it different from other styles of whiskey? We’ll answer these and other questions you may have, and talk about how Midleton and its owner preserved the style, and to a large extent, Irish whiskey itself.
Here are the whiskeys we’ll be presenting:
Jameson Single Pot Still (not the Jameson you’ll find on the grocery store shelf-this one’s not sold in the US!)
Method & Madness single pot still French Chestnut finish
Powers John’s Lane cask strength (also only available outside the US)
Gold Spot 13 year old Generations Edition
Redbreast Missouri Oak edition (this recently released version of one of the most famous single pot still brands is finished in virgin oak casks from the Ozark mountains)
Check out the Celtic Street Faire page for more information.
