Attention, whiskey connoisseurs.

If you know your Proper Twelve from your Redbreast 15, there are three top shelf whiskey events to check out in Cork later this month.

Andrew Doyle TD, Minister of State for Food, Forestry and Horticulture, just unveiled the schedule for the four-day Festival of Irish Whiskey, which takes place from October 10th-13th, 2019 and three of the highlights are happening in Leeside venues.
