It is not uncommon to have a tasting where all bottlings belong to the slightly fuller, more traditional and uniquely Irish whiskey family, Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.
A unique tasting with several bottlings that are not available in Sweden as well as the Sweden-exclusive Single Cask bottling from Redbreast that was released earlier this winter.
Tasting leader this evening is the familiar Olof Noreus, Senior Whisky Brand Ambassador at Pernod Ricard Sweden, who has led several appreciated tastings with us at Ardbeg Embassy over the years.
The Irish theme is close to his heart as he has lived in Dublin for several years, has family there and spends a lot of time on the island every year.
Irish whiskey has a fantastic history, from the birth of whiskey to enormous success and world dominance, followed by several crises that meant that the country's whiskey industry was close to going into the grave completely. This was followed by some important events that turned the tide in the right direction and now it is the fastest growing whiskey category in the world with more and more exciting bottlings and lots of new distilleries. Olof gives an insight into all this, we talk about Irish whiskey tradition and style, and especially Single Pot Still whiskey. Still quite unknown even among whiskey enthusiasts and a tradition that has been reborn with several fantastic bottlings. Olof gives lots of travel tips and recommendations of everything from favorite bottlings, classic pubs, hikes and various places to visit.
