Copeland Distillery Day

Exclusive Belfast Whiskey Week

A full coastal day with Copeland in Donaghadee — harbour air, oysters, unreleased whiskey and the best of the County Down shore.

Guests meet at The Garrick Bar at 2:30pm and board the bus to the distillery in Donaghadee. We're departing slightly earlier than usual as the GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Final throws in at 3:30pm, so Belfast will be jam packed.

On arrival at the distillery you'll be welcomed with an Irish coffee, followed by a walk and talk along the harbour and lighthouse. Then it's oysters paired with Merchants Quay Blue Label, before heading to the distillery floor for three drams of whiskey. Pizza from Orto will also be served.

From 6pm the group moves to the warehouse, greeted with a Banyuls Bloom — a cocktail made with Merchants Quay Green Label — followed by three further drams of unreleased whiskey. At 8:30pm the bus returns you to the Garrick.

You'll be guided through the full experience by Mick — Copeland's National Sales Manager and one of their distillers.
