About

Step back to the 1970s — the decade Irish whiskey nearly disappeared — in this guided tasting at the Jeggy Nettle on Stranmillis Road. Explore the pot stills, old blends and vanished distilleries of Irish whiskey's leanest era, and discover how those survivors seeded the remarkable revival we're enjoying today. An intimate neighbourhood-bar setting, expert storytelling and rare styles you won't often get to taste make this a highlight of the festival's closing week. Part of Belfast Whiskey Week 2026. Limited to 30 places; over 18s only.
