~Celebrate all things Irish whiskey at a series of upcoming events across Northern Ireland~

Local whiskey lovers are in for a treat as a series of unique events will take place across Northern Ireland in the run up to World Whisky Day and beyond.

 

The global celebration, which takes place on 20th May, invites the public to ‘try a dram and celebrate the water of life’. Closer to home, Dillon Bass – owners of the largest Irish whiskey portfolio in Northern Ireland, including iconic brands, Jameson, Powers and Redbreast – will lead the charge, hosting a series of special events throughout the month of May.

 

The iconic Powers Irish whiskey brand is at the heart of the celebrations, as an official partner of this year’s World Whisky Day.  Local Belfast whiskey aficionado, Joe Magowan, Powers Irish Whiskey Ambassador at Dillon Bass, will also be on hand to share his whiskey wisdom, provide tips on the perfect pairings and much more.
