Just in time for St. Patrick's Day we thought it would be fun to learn a bit more about Irish Whiskey, beyond the familiarity that most of us already have with Jameson. I certainly love Jameson as much as the next person, but there are some amazing Irish Whiskeys available in a variety of styles and we look forward to sharing these with you.
Join us next Tuesday, March 15th at 7:30pm in our back room for an Irish Whiskey tasting led by our bartender, and resident whiskey expert, Scott Gold.
20 guests will get the opportunity to try an Irish whiskey from each of the country's 3 distilleries along with some snacks from our kitchen and an ice cold Smithwick's beer when you sit down to get you in the right frame of mind for studying whiskey. Admission is $35 per person including tax and gratuity.
Reservations will be accepted immediately and based on past experience the limited spots will go quickly so please call soon to guarantee a seat.
