But the styles of that era — the heavier pot stills, the old blends, the last pours of vanished houses — became the seed bank the entire modern revival grew from. To understand where Irish whiskey is going, you taste where it nearly ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s Thursday night’s seanchas: a guided exploration of Irish whiskey styles from the 1970s, poured at Stranmillis’s favourite neighbourhood whiskey bar. The Jeggy Nettle’s shelves were built for exactly this kind of session — settle in, and send the festival week off properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen \u0026amp; where\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThursday 30 July 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e, from \u003cstrong\u003e9:00pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Jeggy Nettle, Stranmillis Road, Belfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGuided tasting · Irish whiskey styles of the 1970s · the closing session of the week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTicket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e£30\u003c\/strong\u003e · 30 places only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is an 18+ event.
