Moving to a brand-new venue in the heart of Dublin, organisers say the larger location offers excellent public transport links and plenty of room for an evening dedicated to discovering exceptional whiskeys from Ireland and around the world. Visitors can expect producers from across the industry, hundreds of whiskeys available to sample, and the perfect opportunity to kick-start the festive season.

Every ticket also includes:

• Complimentary whiskey sampling from all exhibitors
