Whiskey Crusaders
We are the Whiskey Crusaders! We review whiskies from around the world such as Bourbon, Scotch, Rye, Japanese, American, Irish, Canadian, Taiwanese, Indian and many others. We give nosing and tasting notes so that when you are on the whiskey aisle you can make an informed decision. This will help you to know the flavor profiles you enjoy so that you can explore new whiskies and join us on our crusade to share and visit as many whiskies as possible. We will be going on whiskey crusades to distilleries to meet the actual people who make the magic that all of us enjoy so much and to interview people in the industry to share their passion for whiskey with us.

Do you hate taxes as much as we do? We sure do—so we’re slashing prices on Ballykeefe and Coole Swan by 20% to celebrate the end of tax season! The Irish have hated taxes for centuries… They even invented their own style of whiskey just to pay less of them. So if you’re not a whiskey fan but you love gin, vodka, or incredible cream liqueurs, this is the event for you. We’re throwing a very special Ballykeefe & Coole Swan Masterclass Dinner on Tuesday, April 28th, and we’re going all out:
The founders of both Ballykeefe Distillery and Coole Swan in the same room (a rare treat!)
Four distillery-exclusive spirits you can’t get anywhere else — and they’re not whiskey
A full Irish dinner + welcome cocktail
9 expressions total, including two beautiful Irish whiskies that tell the rebellious story of Irish tax defiance
Whether you’re a whiskey lover or you usually stick to gin, vodka, or creamy Irish liqueur, this night has something for everyone. Bring your friends who “don’t do whiskey” — they’re going to leave as converts.
Tickets are just $60 per person and include everything above. Only available at Whiskey Castle — one night only.
