This November, Randles Hotel is partnering with four local distilleries to celebrate “Kerry Whiskey Weekend”. Working with Killarney Brewing & Distilling Co, The Liberator, Portmagee and Skellig six18, the hotel is inviting guests for a weekend of great whiskey, amazing food and stunning scenery.
Guests will arrive in Killarney on Friday 22nd November and check into a luxurious Signature King room with a Kerry whiskey gift to welcome them. That evening, they will join Kerry’s whiskey aficionados to learn about their products and enjoy a tipple or two before sitting down to a five course tasting dinner, each course prepared using the flavours of the local whiskeys.
Saturday begins with an a la carte breakfast before being transported to Killarney Brewing & Distilling Co’s Fossa distillery for a tour followed by a light lunch. Back at Randles, following an afternoon of relaxation, guests will meet in the Drawing Room for a pre-dinner “Meet The Maker” with whiskey tasting and stories from Maurice O Connell of The Liberator Whiskey.
Saturday evening can then be spent dining and exploring Killarney town with the option of following the whiskey trail to other local recommended establishments.
For those looking to continue their journey through Kerry’s whiskeys, tours of the Portmagee and Skellig six18 distilleries can be arranged for Sunday if desired.
“We are blessed here in County Kerry to be home to several fantastic whiskeys. As a way of showcasing these companies and Killarney itself, we decided to put together our Kerry Whiskey Weekend so that guests can come and enjoy something a little different,” said Shelley Steadman, General Manager of Randles Hotel. “We hope to welcome anyone who has an interest in Irish Whiskey and those who are just learning, to the hotel to meet the local producers and enjoy some Kerry produce.”
The Kerry Whiskey Weekend can be booked through the hotel’s website randleshotel.com or by calling direct on 064 663 5333.
