Coffee, Whiskey & Kilkenny Stories
Step inside one of Ireland’s oldest inns and learn how to craft the perfect Irish Coffee in a truly unique setting. Hosted at Kyteler’s Inn, this hands-on workshop blends history, storytelling, and a touch of magic.
Pull up a stool in this 700-year-old medieval pub and discover the secrets behind Ireland’s most famous drink – from selecting the right ingredients to mastering the art of floating the cream. Along the way, you’ll hear tales of Kilkenny’s whiskey heritage and the fascinating, and sometimes dark, history of the Inn itself. As you sip your creation, you’ll be introduced to the story of Alice Kyteler, accused of witchcraft, heresy and more, and explore the character and charm that still defines this iconic space today.
- Includes Irish Coffee per person, live demonstration, storytelling session, small souvenir

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the Kilkenny Whiskey Guild?
The Kilkenny Whiskey Guild is a collective of 11 establishments in Kilkenny City, each offering a curated collection of at least 60 Irish whiskeys. Together, we celebrate Kilkenny’s 700-year connection to Irish distilling history, offering tastings, tours, monthly events, and authentic Irish whiskey hospitality.
-
Why is Kilkenny important to Irish whiskey history?
Kilkenny is home to the Red Book of Ossory (c1324), which contains Ireland’s earliest written reference to distillation. The Guild honours this heritage by blending centuries of tradition with today’s world-class hospitality.
