Exclusive Irish Whiskey tasting at Nortons with Grain & Glass
March 16 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
£25
Step into the story of Irish whiskey this St. Patrick’s Day Eve at Nortons Digbeth.
Join whiskey expert Amy Seton from Grain & Glass for a guided journey through the rich and resilient history of Irish whiskey, brought to life through this curated tasting.
Discover its monastic origins and the birth of uisce beatha (“water of life”), tracing its evolution into the 19th century when Dublin’s grand distilleries set the global standard and iconic houses like Bushmills Distillery built reputations that endure to this day.
Explore the dramatic decline of Irish whiskey through war, trade disputes, and Prohibition, and celebrate its remarkable revival, preserved by distilleries such as Midleton and driven forward by innovative new producers across the island.
Alongside tasting a variety of Irish whiskeys – from approachable blends to bold single pot still expressions and modern cask-finished releases – you’ll also experience a carefully selected bourbon and Scotch, offering a unique opportunity to compare and contrast these world-famous spirits and appreciate what makes Irish whiskey so distinctive.
Learn how triple distillation, careful grain selection, and maturation shape the signature character of whiskies from the Emerald Isle. This is a celebration of Irish heritage, craft, and renaissance, told one dram at a time. Perfect for whiskey lovers, history enthusiasts, or anyone looking to raise a glass to Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day.
£25 (includes six whiskies)
