IWSA MEMBER OPPORTUNITY

Connacht Distillery, winner of Best Irish Whiskey at the 2023 Irish Whiskey Awards, is releasing a US online exclusive. Their sherry finished cask strength distillery exclusive took honors last year and this 2024 US only release is its better older brother! Aged for six years and nine months in bourbon and NEOC Sherry casks then bottled at 48.3%, this version has more than a year of additional sherry influence for the double distilled single malt. Limited to only 246 bottles, this is a special opportunity for IWSA members to acquire the newest whiskey release from this award winning distillery. The bottles are being generously offered to IWSA members at a 15% discount (Code: IWSA) with free shipping (Code: CONN125SHIP) for orders totaling more than $125. Both discount codes can be entered at checkout. For those taking advantage of this opportunity, we will look to organize a future virtual event with Connacht Distillery to lead us through a tasting of their whiskeys.
