St. Patrick's Day and Irish Whiskey with Olof Noreus at Ardbeg Embassy Tue 17/3.

Celebrate St.Patrick's Day with us at Ardbeg Embassy with an exciting tasting. Irish whiskey has a fantastic history, from the birth of whiskey to enormous success and world dominance followed by several crises which meant that the country's whiskey industry was close to going into the grave completely and the Scots took over the leadership shirt. This was followed by some important events that steered the ship 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 Noreus gives an insight into all this, we talk about Irish whiskey tradition past and present and its different styles, not least Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, the most traditional and uniquely Irish whiskey family. Fuller, more complex but still quite unknown even among whiskey enthusiasts and a tradition that has been reborn in recent years. Olof also gives as usual lots of travel tips and recommendations of everything from favorite bottlings, classic pubs, different places to visit around the green island and as always, with a big focus on getting an interactive tasting with lots of questions and discussions.

We try:

1. Powers Gold Label – 40%
2. Jameson Black Barrel – 40%
3. Midleton Very Rare 2023 – 40% (Sold out in Sweden)
4. Green Spot Chateau Montelena – 46% (Not available in Sweden)
5. Redbreast 12 YO – 40%
6. Redbreast 15 YO – 46%
7. Redbreast 12 YO Cask Strength 57.5% (Very limited number of bottles in Sweden)

We welcome Olof Noreus, Senior Whisky Brand Ambassador at Pernod Ricard Sweden, back to us at Ardbeg Embassy to guide us through this fine lineup and to take us on an exciting tour around Ireland. The Irish theme is a little extra close to his heart as he has lived in Dublin for several years, has family there, spends a lot of time on the island every year and is a big fan of the Single Pot Still style.

Price: 650:- for 7 varieties including a main course and a Jameson Irish Coffee after the tasting.
