For 2026, the festival is expanding to Kilkenny, bringing new events alongside the popular masterclasses. This exciting development comes with new events designed to complement our signature masterclasses.
These new sessions continue to focus on distillerys while allowing the festival to add bonders and bottlers to its line up.
