We were delighted to be part of the Whiskey and Friends Festival 2025 , which took place on June 6th and 7th in the vibrant setting of The Tides along the Vistula River in Warsaw. Now in its ninth year, the festival has firmly established itself as one of Poland’s leading events for connoisseurs and enthusiasts of fine spirits – and this year’s edition truly lived up to its reputation.
With nearly 50 exhibitors and hundreds of spirits on offer, the festival created a buzzing, immersive experience for over 3,500 attendees, bringing together a passionate community that celebrates craftmanship, storytelling, and exceptional flavour.
At the West Cork Irish Whiskey stand, we proudly showcased some of our most beloved expressions – including Black Cask , Bourbon Cask , the Maritime Single Malt range, the Glengarriff Series, our 7-Year-Old Single Malt , 5-Year-Old Pot Still , as well as Garnish Island Gin and Pink gin. It was a pleasure to introduce these to both new and familiar faces, sharing the stories behind each bottle and offering insight into our processes in Skibbereen, West Cork.
Visitors to our stand were eager to learn about our unique cask finishes. Whether it was a first sip of our smooth Bourbon Cask or a deep dive into the complexity of our maritime cask finishes, the enthusiasm from guests was truly rewarding.
We were proud to be among such an impressive line-up of producers from around the world and to represent the innovation and tradition of West Cork Whiskey on such a dynamic international stage.
Thank you to M&P Pavlina and the entire Whisky & Friends team for creating such a well-curated, vibrant event.
