Learn the stories behind Ireland's incredible whiskey distilleries with the Irish Whiskey 360° Passport Irish Whiskey Association
Go on a journey with your Irish Whiskey 360° Passport and learn the stories behind Ireland's incredible whiskey distilleries.
The Irish Whiskey Association is encouraging people to undertake a tour and tasting at a member distillery visitor center - and to document their visit by collecting an Irish Whiskey 360° Passport stamp.
Each visitor experience will lead you deep into the homes and heartlands of Ireland’s extraordinary distilleries. Your journey will take you North, South, East and West, through ever-changing landscapes, from rugged coastlines to historic cities.
Along the way, you’ll meet the distillers and blenders who craft the distinctive texture and flavor of each locality. And you’ll explore how people and place, culture and tradition shape the taste of the many characters in the Irish Whiskey family.
