Discover the Spirit of Ireland this Christmas
Celebrate the season with an unforgettable festive evening of fine food, Irish whiskey, and history at the iconic Malahide Castle. Step inside the 800-year-old castle, beautifully decorated for Christmas, and enjoy an exclusive guided evening tour followed by an expert-led whiskey tasting and gourmet food pairing.
This luxurious experience is hosted in partnership with Whiskey Island – Irish Whiskey Tours & Tastings, offering guests a rare opportunity to savour Ireland’s finest whiskeys in one of the country’s most atmospheric settings.
A Gourmet Pairing Experience
This isn’t just a tasting – it’s a celebration of flavour. Each whiskey has been paired with a specially crafted bite to complement and enhance its character.
A Connoisseur’s Pairing Menu:
- The Whistler Irish Honey (33%) paired with Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano Crisp – the saltiness of the cheese perfectly balances the whiskey’s honeyed sweetness.
- Fercullen Single Malt (46%) paired with Smoked Salmon on Dark Rye Bread – a savoury match that brings out the whiskey’s rich oak and dessert notes.
- Lambay Malt Whiskey (43%) paired with Warm Chili & Spiced Nuts – an invigorating blend that complements tropical coconut and warming spice.
- Ballykeefe Single Pot Still (46%) paired with Sharp Aged Cheddar on an Artisan Cracker – bold, robust, and deeply satisfying.
This is a feast for the senses – where premium Irish whiskeys meet gourmet artisan flavours, creating the perfect festive indulgence for food and drink lovers alike.
