Spirit of Birmingham — the city’s first and only whiskey distillery — headlines a landmark Wednesday night Irish Whiskey tasting session at The Anchor Digbeth.
Tracing the story of ‘uisce beatha’ (the Gaelic ‘water of life’), this guided evening explores the centuries-old craft of Irish distilling and its deep historical ties to Birmingham’s Irish Quarter.
Guests will enjoy a comparative tasting of up to four whiskies from across Ireland alongside a special pour of Birmingham’s very first own single malt, crafted right here in the city by Spirit of Birmingham.
