Irish Whiskey Tasting
Cost. $50/person - includes a tasting of four whiskeys, an 8 Bells branded Glencairn whiskey glass for you to keep, and a regular pour of the whiskey you like best at the end of the tasting. If you have a great time and appreciate the guidance, Kevin will happily accept tips.
Reservations are required by emailing us.
Details. Looking up at a well-stocked wall of whiskey can be daunting indeed. What makes a bourbon different from a Single Malt Scotch whisky? What does "peated" mean? What are the different kinds of Irish Whiskey? Why is it sometimes spelled with an "e"? And perhaps the most important question of all: what kinds of whiskey do I prefer? A guided whiskey tour at 8 Bells seeks to answer these questions and more in a relaxing and engaging setting.
Each Whiskey Tour at 8 Bells weaves together history, anecdotes, and comparative tasting into a relaxing and fun time together. Each evening focuses on a theme and participants first taste a curated flight of 4 expressions, then end with a full pour of their favorite. In some cases, such as Irish Pot Still, these are specific to a style across regions. In others, such as Introduction to Single Malt Scotch, regional styles are comparatively tasted. In all cases, nothing is required other than curiosity and willingness to have an enjoyable evening. Each person will also take with them an 8 Bells engraved
whiskey glass. With an emphasis on enjoying the spirits and being enjoyable company, together we'll seek to discover what you like in a whiskey and how you prefer to drink it in a comfortable pub atmosphere and in good company.
About Your Guide.
Kevin Callahan's love of whiskey was kindled over a decade ago at O'Loclain's Pub in Ballyvaughan in County Clare, Ireland. Irish friends passed a glass of Green Spot and well, that was that. In the ensuing years his enthusiasm has grown not only for whiskey, but also for introducing others and guiding them through regional styles, distilling techniques, and the art of aging spirit from new make to the amber tipple we are privileged to enjoy. Kevin has given many tours privately sourced from his own collection and is thrilled to join with 8 Bells to deepen patrons' appreciation for the pub's collection.
