Few Irish whiskeys are as unapologetically rooted in heritage, rebellion, and individuality as Wayward Irish Spirits, and in this live event we’re spending an evening exploring what makes them so unique.

Join me as we travel to Killarney in Co. Kerry, where Maurice O’Connell, a direct descendant of Irish hero Daniel O’Connell, has built a whiskey brand that blends history, storytelling, and creativity.

We’ll explore the philosophy behind Wayward Irish Spirits, from the revival of the traditional Irish whiskey bonder to the creation of The Liberator range, and the emergence of Lakeview Single Estate, one of Ireland’s few true single estate whiskeys.

We’ll dig into the DNA of their whiskeys, from cask experimentation, blending artistry to estate-grown barley, and a willingness to challenge convention, comparing different expressions across The Liberator and Lakeview ranges.

Bring whichever bottles you have to hand and come ready with your questions.

There’s no fixed tasting order, just an open exploration of heritage, innovation, and flavour from one of Ireland’s most distinctive modern whiskey houses.
