Wine and Whiskey Discovery Weekend in Dingle Skellig Hotel
This November the Dingle Skellig Hotel are pleased to announce the details of their Wine and Whiskey Discovery Weekend. Taking place on November 25th 2016 this weekend promises to be a feast for the senses.
Dingle is often thought of as a perfect Summer destination, but the town itself with quaint pubs and cozy restaurants makes for a wonderful winter getaway.
On Friday evening guests will enjoy Whiskey tasting with the first release of new Whiskey expression from Dingle Whiskey Distillery. This is the first whiskey to be produced in Ireland outside of the big three: Middleton, Cooley and Bushmills. Their very special stills are a key part of the Dingle Story. They use the best Irish malted barley and make pure pot still malt whiskey, which is then put in casks and the mild, moist, unique Dingle air does the rest. No whiskey in Scotland or Ireland experiences a maturation process like this.
