The Whiskey Bus, The Northern Whiskey Lights

Step on board our Whiskey Bus from the 21st-28th September 2024, as we set off on an adventure to see our own version of the Northern Lights, as we visit every whiskey distillery & brand home in Northern Ireland.

Unpack & relax as we’ll be spending the full 7 nights in Belfast’s fair city, which once rivalled Dublin as one of the largest producers of Irish whiskey on the island, exporting millions of litres globally each year. Distilling returned to Belfast for the first time in almost 90 years in August 2023 at Titanic Distillers, which not only put the city in the whiskey spotlight once again, but also highlighted the incredible number of brands & distilleries in the nearby County Down, which boasts more distilleries than any other county in Ireland.

There will be boats, behind the scenes access & barrel sampling, all while enjoying exclusive access to some of the best known brand founders, blenders & distillers.
