The first-of-its-kind immersive experience is back!
The New York Irish Whiskey Festival is the ultimate event for whiskey fans and those who want to get a kick start on St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Taking place on Saturday, March 12, the annual festival is held at The View at Battery Park. Festival founder Moira Breslin, who runs leading strategic communications agency Articulate Production, exclusively told The Knockturnal that Irish whiskey experts Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry were obvious choices to helm the festival. The celebrated barmen duo are owners of the World’s Best Bar, The Dead Rabbit in New York City, and authors of several award-winning books including, “From Barley to Blarney: A Whiskey Lover’s Guide to Ireland.”
“We approached Sean and Jack to discuss the idea of a festival dedicated to Irish Whiskey as we all felt that the category was greatly underserved,” Breslin explained. “We wanted to create an experience where Irish Whiskey could be celebrated on its own and we could show the depth and versatility of the category while debunking some of the myths surrounding it.”
