The Experience

Sip, swirl & tour the world

When in Rome: European Whisky Cocktail Showcase

Cocktail City Showcase When in Rome: European Whisky Cocktail Showcase · The Watson Library Bar, Belfast

When in Rome and other European cities — Italian whiskey, Sweden, French.

I know we left Europe, but was it the right move?

I know we all like visiting Rome, Paris and Stockholm.

So why Brexit?

There has been a resurgence in Irish whiskey, but we should not forget the emerging whisky distilleries across Europe. These four curated cocktails are designed using whiskies from Swedish, French, Dutch and Italian distilleries. Our mixologists have taken inspiration from these countries while preparing the cocktails.

Who knew the Italians can do whiskey.. or maybe they can't.
