It’s the perfect Sunday spin.

The Christmas season will officially begin at Midleton Distillery Experience on Sunday, November 16th, with a day of festive fun to celebrate the switching on of the Midleton town Christmas lights.

Ahead of the lights, visitors are invited to come along to Midleton Distillery Experience from 2pm to 6pm, where they can enjoy a festive afternoon of seasonal cocktails, live traditional music from Skirmish, and carols from The Barony Choir.

Guests can check out a live cooperage demonstration, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the craft of barrel-making, as a skilled Midleton cooper repairs or makes a barrel on site. You can also explore unique gift options in the Distillery Shop, enjoy free bottle personalisation for that someone special on your list, and be in with a chance to win some cool prizes on the day.

Adding to the day’s highlights, archivist Carol Quinn, who oversees the historic records and archives documenting Irish whiskey distilling in Dublin, Midleton, and Cork, will deliver a fascinating talk on 200 years of distilling history in Midleton, tracing the town’s proud whiskey-making heritage and its connection to iconic Irish brands such as Jameson and Powers.

Admission is free and no booking is required – just drop by and experience the magic of Midleton this Christmas with a fun and festive day out.
