SlanjEvents is delighted to introduce Clackmannanshire’s Whisky Festival, taking place at Alloa Town Hall, Saturday 2 April – Sunday 3 April 2022.

With a unique three-pronged approach focussing on Whisky, Heritage, and Wellness, the inaugural festival will not only showcase Scotland’s best drams, but will also celebrate the long and esteemed history of whisky production in the Clackmannanshire area, and will offer a platform too, allowing us to work with our mental health charity partners to promote the support available in the hope that we can reduce male suicides in the local area.

The festival will take place over three exhibitor packed sessions. Session 1 on Saturday 2 April 2022 at 12:00, session 2 later that day beginning at 17:00, and session 3 on Sunday 3 April 2022 beginning at 13:00. Attendees will receive a special commemorative glass and will have the opportunity to sample and hear from a variety of whisky producers. A curated selection of exclusive masterclasses will also take place at each session and are not to be missed.

Attendees will have the chance to access exclusive event-only discounts and purchase offers, as well as limited-edition bottlings. With all the whisky activities, as well as an interactive whisky exhibition, coopering display, and much, much more, Clackmannanshire’s Whisky Festival is guaranteed to be a unique and memorable event.

Inspited by our land and the many generations before us and their sometimes wayward attitude, Wayward Irish Spirits is working towards becoming Ireland’s most beautifully situated premium Single Estate, grain to glass, distillery. We are located outside Killarney at the Lakeview Estate, our family’s home of 900 years. Unusually, we grow our own barley here that is distilled for us into Lakeview Single Estate Whiskey, launching in 2022. Distilling onsite follows in 2024.

Alongside this, The Liberator Irish Whiskey is our range of Whiskeys sourced as young spirit from 6 of Ireland’s finest distilleries. We mature these further in the Estate’s unique microclimate, then finish and blend them in small batches to create unique flavourful Whiskeys. We carefully source and fill only the finest and freshest casks connecting with our family history for our 300 year old stone bonded Storehouse ‘The House of Contentment’. This is our modern take on the old Irish tradition of Whiskey Bonding – before the advent of big brands, merchants would refill emptied wine, port and sherry barrels with spirit from their local distillery to provide ‘house Whiskeys’ for their customers.

Our first releases are Ireland’s first vatted malt Whiskey which we’ve finished in really fresh Tawny Port casks – The Liberator Malt in Tawny Port and a lighter characterful premium blend, The Liberator Small Batch. Every year we have some Liberator Storehouse Specials – these are very small releases of interesting Whiskeys from our Storehouse and can be trials for new products, single cask releases or cask strength versions. All are gently cut over many weeks, not chill filtered or coloured or otherwise messed with.

The Liberator celebrates the legacy of our forebear Daniel O’Connell, the original campaigner for human rights, regardless of race, gender or religion and often hailed as the greatest ever Irishman, after whom many streets, bridges and buildings throughout Ireland is named. His passionate oratory and insistence on peaceful protest mobilised millions to ensure Irish voices were heard for the first time. From a noble family of traders and warriors, poets and smugglers, this determination to do things our own way informs everything we do.
