‘Whiskey legend’ Ger Garland is hosting a tasting in a Cork pub

Here’s one for the whiskey aficionados.
A Cork pub is rolling out the red carpet for the legendary whiskey expert Ger Garland, straight from Keeper’s Heart Whiskey, for an evening of unparalleled whiskey exploration on Tuesday, March 25th.
A fusion of Irish and American whiskey traditions, crafted by Brian Nation (one of Ireland’s most respected distillers) and David Perkins (the mastermind behind High West Distillery), Keeper’s Heart has been racking up awards like nobody’s business – over 150, including the coveted World’s Best Irish Whiskey at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
So, what’s in store for the night? Prepare your palate for a guided tasting of four exceptional whiskies at Costigan’s from 7pm:
- Keeper’s Heart 10-Year-Old: A true masterpiece.
- Keeper’s Heart Irish + American: Where two worlds collide in the best way.
- Keeper’s Heart Irish + Bourbon: A rich and flavourful delight.
- Keeper’s Heart Rye Component: A spicy, satisfying finish.
And who better to guide us through this whiskey journey than Ger Garland? Freshly crowned Irish Whiskey Ambassador 2025 – America at the Icons of Whiskey Awards, Ger brings over 20 years of experience and a passion that’s infectious.
He’s a true legend in the industry.
Your €5.50 ticket gets you a welcome drink on arrival to kick things off, a guided tasting with Ger Garland and an evening filled with whiskey wisdom and good company.
