Whisky Live returned to Dublin for a second year, following the success of its debut in the city. It was my lowly task to turn this…
Into this…
The Round Room at the Mansion House in Dublin is a fantastic venue - literally a round room, with a domed starlit ceiling - beautiful. Ticket sales were 300% up on the first year, and people came from as far as Canada to sample Irish, Scotch & Rest of World whiskies.
Visitors ate fish and chips in a cone, while VIPs had the
choice of Morrocan Lamb Tagine or Red Thai Curry, followed by a selection of
dessert canapés and cheese and biscuits…not to be confused with ‘whiskuits’
(chocolate & whisky biscuits) which were being served at the Four Seasons
Hotel stand!
After an 18 hour day we finished off with a well-deserved
glass of champagne and a mint-julep, which is a bit like a mojito but made with
Bourbon whisky….deeelish!
