Event
12th Irish Whiskey and Scotch Tasting
Seating opens at 7pm with performance by Jackson Irish Dancers
Cost: $35 advance online (through Sept 9th) or
$50 at the door (limited availability)
This event keeps growing and growing.... 2009's Tasters numbered over 200 and the event sold out. We expect the 2010 tasting to sell out as well. If you are considering going, don't wait -- buy your tickets now!
"This will be a very special year for the event. In the past, we've intermixed classic favorites, hard-to-find Whiskies as well as Whisky exclusive to the CelticFest Tasting. This year's is a first, in that every one of the Whiskies to be served is new to the state since the tasting began twelve years ago. If you come to this year's tasting, you will have a chance to be introduced to a complete portfolio of Whisky before anyone else in Mississippi has a chance to buy them. You'll be the first to see this line of new and exciting Whisky."
