Gorey Whiskey Club has been bringing whiskey lovers together since 2020, and after going public in 2024 we’re only getting started. We’re a mixed crowd of beginners, enthusiasts and everything in between — united by a love of great whiskey and good company.

We host regular events throughout the year including distillery takeovers, guided tastings, road trips and whiskey festivals. Membership (€65) is optional but offers priority access to tickets and event discounts, with individual tickets also available throughout the year.

Whether you're just starting your whiskey journey or have been exploring it for years, you’ll find a warm welcome at Gorey Whiskey Club.

Sláinte, Nigel, John & the GWC team

A visit to Boann...

Back in 2025, Gary Ring visited Gorey Whiskey Club with wit, charm and a bunch of great whiskeys. From a festive evening in Gorey, the seeds of a distillery visit were sown and we finally got to visit Drogheda on a Saturday in April. We hopped on a private bus in Gorey and chatted all things whiskey on our journey up the M11. At the distillery, we were greeted by Gary and we got into an immediate cask pull sample. Gary walked us through the distillery over the course of the t

An evening with Micil

We were delighted to welcome Michéal O'Flaherty from Micil to Browne's Bar on Thursday 12 March and we were treated to a wonderful range of spirits from poitín to whiskey to a cream liqueur. Excellent stuff all round. We started with two poitín expressions - the distillery's standard poitín and their heritage poitín. Both of these come with a ton of flavour with the heritage edition bringing further peatiness to the table. Despite the reputation that poitín has - it being a..

South East Whiskey Festival

The South East Whiskey Festival is an event that we book into as soon as tickets are released. While it's great to try new whiskeys, I very much look forward to catching up with old friends and spending time with distillers and presenters each year. This year was no different and those who attended from the club had a great time. Always great to catch up with Weronika at the Bank My first tasting of the weekend was at Clonakilty at the Bank where it was an opportunity to try

That's not to mention some very cool members-only events we run and a whiskey we launched, so last year was a very exciting twelve months with many highlights to review. We kicked our year off with an introduction to whiskey - always a very popular event where we chatted through some whiskey (and whisky!) basics for those who w

An evening with Lough Ree Distillery

We were delighted to welcome Darragh from Lough Ree distillery to Gorey on Thursday 20 November. We were indoors in Browne's Lounge for this sold-out event. For many of the attendees, it was their first introduction to this distillery and many new fans were created that evening. Darragh and Nigel strike poses Darragh showcased the distillery's Bart's range - their standard whiskeys - and their Bridge range - their single cask whiskeys. The Bart's range went down exceptionally

Two Stacks Whiskey - the view from Gorey

A brief overview Two Stacks are blenders and bonders, meaning they do not distil their own whiskey; rather, they select whiskies from Irish distilleries and blend and age them. However, two of the three founders of Two Stacks are also the founders of Killowen distillery. Starting in 2020, their range is wide and innovative – one for the whiskey explorer. A bit more detail… Who are they? Shane McCarthy, Liam Brogan and Dónal McLynn started the business in 2020 and all three ha
