Grab your IWSA bottle & share in a toast to 10 years! We will celebrate our Irish whiskey club's anniversary & the release of our 10yr Limited Commemorative Edition Anniversary Blend.

A Zoom invite will be sent to members who sign up before the 8:30pm eastern time launch.
With pandemic travel issues normalized, the IWSA is looking to organize a member trip to Ireland in 2023. What better place to go than Dublin in May in conjunction with WhiskeyLive! The trip will include visits to distilleries and pubs showcasing everything great about Irish whiskey. Interested? Reach out with questions. More details here.
