About this Event

Experience 170 Years of Connemara Distilling Tradition in the Heart of Dublin 4.

Join us on Monday, November 30th, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm in the bespoke whiskey bar at Searsons of Baggot Street - Ireland's National Whiskey Bar of the Year and Dublin’s Best Food Pub - for an intimate tasting hosted by Pádraic Ó Griallais, co-founder and 6th-generation distiller of Micil Distillery.

Named after Pádraic’s great-great-great-grandfather Micil Mac Chearra, who began distilling illicit poitín on a Connemara hillside in 1848, Micil Distillery brings over 170 years of unbroken family craft to Galway's first legal distillery in over a century.

The Tasting Flight

Pádraic will guide guests through an expert tasting featuring signature expressions alongside an exclusive preview pour:

1. Micil Irish Poitín: Handcrafted using malted Irish barley and local Connemara botanicals, made to a 170-year-old family recipe.
2. Micil Inverin Small Batch: A peated blend featuring a triple-cask finish that pays homage to traditional Connemara fuisce.
3. Micil Inverin Single Cask: A rare single-cask release showcasing deep cask influence.
4. Micil Earls Island Single Pot Still: A rich, spicy pot still whiskey finished in Bordeaux red wine casks.
5. Exclusive Unreleased Cask Sample: A rare opportunity to taste a future Micil release straight from the cask - not yet available to the public.
6. Micil Connemara Irish Cream Liqueur: A dessert finish made with sweet whiskey, rich Irish cream, honey, and smooth poitín.

Gourmet Food & Hospitality

Following the guided tasting, guests will be served a selection of artisan canapés and gourmet platters freshly prepared by Searsons’ award-winning culinary team.
