Cork Whiskey Festival Returns
The third annual Cork Whiskey Fest returns from 21st to 23rd March 2025, taking over bars and venues across MacCurtain Street, Cork City.
The festival was launched at The Shelbourne Bar with key sponsors Irish Distillers Pernod Ricard, The Shelbourne Bar and IrishMalts.com.
A festival highlight is the Brand Expo & Socials at The Metropole, which will host 50 whiskey distilleries and brands over the two evenings. This year distilleries will also showcase their gins, rums, vodkas and poitíns. Many are served by the distillers, blenders and brand owners themselves—a rare chance to engage with the makers behind the magic. The expos take place on Friday, March 21st, and Saturday, March 22nd, from 7:30pm to 11:00pm.
