Overview
***** SOLD OUT*****
Step on board our Whiskey Bus from the 21st-28th September 2024, as we set off on an adventure to see our own version of the Northern Lights, as we visit every whiskey distillery & brand home in Northern Ireland.
Unpack & relax as we’ll be spending the full 7 nights in Belfast’s fair city, which once rivalled Dublin as one of the largest producers of Irish whiskey on the island, exporting millions of litres globally each year. Distilling returned to Belfast for the first time in almost 90 years in August 2023 at Titanic Distillers, which not only put the city in the whiskey spotlight once again, but also highlighted the incredible number of brands & distilleries in the nearby County Down, which boasts more distilleries than any other county in Ireland.
There will be boats, behind the scenes access & barrel sampling, all while enjoying exclusive access to some of the best known brand founders, blenders & distillers.
We’d love to welcome you to Ireland for your dream Irish whiskey adventure. Places on the Whiskey Bus are open on a first come, first served basis on Saturday 13th January at 12pm EST with a deposit of €1300/$1400 required to secure your place.
Cost per person sharing is 3835 euro (4200 USD) paid in x3 instalments (subsequent instalments due in March & May) with a single supplement of €1400, payable on the final instalment.
