Tasting Events in County Kerry
The story of Kingdom Whiskey Tasting Events Kerry begins during the Tralee Food Festival in 2023. In conjunction with Baily’s Corner, we held our first Kerry whiskey tasting on Friday night and Sunday evening. Turned out: We loved what we were doing and the idea for our humble company was born. While we have established and expanded our core range of amazing tasting products, we still love doing special tasting events in Kerry.

The 4 Christmas Spirits
A Christmas Whiskey Tale at McCaffrey’s Bar
December 15th, 2024 @ 5.30pm at McCaffrey’s Bar, Tralee
While Santa was still making his way to Ireland, we welcomed the 4 Christmas Spirits – A Christmas Whiskey Tale on December 15th to McCaffrey’s Bar. In this fully guided tasting experience, our guests sampled 3 local Kerry whiskeys from Skellig Six18 Distillery, Killarney Distillery and The Liberator Whiskey. At the end of the session, merry folks indulged in our special Xmas Whiskey Cocktail, made with Portmagee Whiskey and Valentia Island Vermouth, to finish a fun evening in the true spirit of the jolly season.
Meals on Wheels Charity Whiskey Tasting 2024
1st Charity Whiskey Tasting in aid of Meals on Wheels Tralee
December 1st, 2024 @ 5.30pm at McCaffrey’s Bar, Tralee
It was a fantastic night in the festive setting of McCaffrey’s Bar Tralee for Kingdom Whiskey Tasting Events Kerry’s first Meals on Wheels Charity Whiskey Tasting, raising funds for their most important work. A total of €600.00 was collected from ticket sales and donations. It will go directly to Paddy Kevane and his team to support their daily deliveries, the Meals on Wheels Café on Upper Rock Street, Tralee, and their upcoming Community Christmas Day Dinner.
For the tasting event, a lovely group gathered and was treated to a complimentary welcome drink by McCaffrey’s Bar and tasty finger food prepared by Meals on Wheels Café. The vibes in the room were already brilliant when the first of five local Kerry whiskeys was poured, all kindly donated by Portmagee Whiskey, Skellig Six18 Distillery, Killarney Brewing & Distilling Co., Wayward Irish Spirits (The Liberator) and Dingle Distillery. The group massively enjoyed the brand stories and the navigation through the different flavour profiles of each spirit and the details about how they were made.
In his opening speech, Paddy Kevane of Meals on Wheels Tralee highlighted how important fundraisers like this have been in providing funds for the operations and revealed future plans for an expansion of the Café and strengthening community work.
Kingdom Whiskey Tasting Events Kerry would like to thank the team at McCaffrey’s Bar for their generosity and help, the Kerry whiskey makers for their donations and all attendees for making the night a big success in aid of Meals on Wheels Tralee.

Tralee Food Festival 2023
Kerry Whiskey Experience at Baily’s Corner
The Tralee Food Festival 2023 was the time, it all really started for us here at Kingdom Whiskey Tasting Events Kerry. On the Friday night we held our first of many whiskey tasting events in Kerry. Because it became a success, we did a second tasting on the Sunday evening. Which became an even bigger success. Both days, we worked closely with the great guys at Baily’s Corner to treat our guests to the best whiskeys, the Kingdom of Kerry has to offer. This was the birth of the Kerry Whiskey Experience, our signature tasting.
