Wine & Spirits Tastings

Teeling are truly at the vanguard of the Irish whiskey revival. Along with sourcing a bottling an array of fantastic Irish single malts from other distilleries, they have recently established the first new distillery in Dublin for over 125 years. From the very outset, quality has been the foremost concern of the distillery and connoisseurs and critics have united in their praise

We are delighted to welcome Teeling's-own Chris Hayes to Hedonism to present this superb masterclass, allowing guests to get to grips with one of the whiskey-world's most exciting new players.

Guests will enjoy seven different whiskies from Teeling including Single Grain, Single Malt, Small Batch, Teeling Pot Stil, Brabazon Series 1, Teeling 19 Year Old and the spectacular Teeling 28 Year Old.

We hope you can join us for what is set to be a fantastic tasting of fine Irish drams.

Paul Jaboulet Aîné was established in Tain l'Hermitage in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet. The winery grew swiftly with Antoine acquiring some of the finest vineyards in the Northern Rhône and was passed down many generations of the Jaboulet family gaining a reputation as not only one of the greatest wineries in the region, but in the whole of France. The estate was eventually sold to the Frey family in the mid-2000s who drew on their considerable experience managing Château La Lagune in Bordeaux to ensure quality was maintained at the highest level. Recent vintages have proven that the Frey family are not only honouring the reputation of the Jaboulet family, but also pushing the estate to dizzying new heights.

We are pleased to welcome Bertrand Michat to Hedonism Wines to present this superb tasting and discuss the past, present and future of this world famous winery.

Bertrand will guide guests through a tasting of seven different wines from the Jaboulet estate including Crozes-Hermitage Mule Blanche 2018, Chevalier de Stérimberg Hermitage Blanc 2015, Crozes-Hermitage Rouge Domaine de Thalabert 2014 and 2017 before a stunning three vintage vertical of La Chapelle Hermitage Rouge 1991, 2006 and 2017.

This is set to be a fantastic tasting with one of world's greatest producers, we hope you can join us.

Perrier-Jouet have long been ranked among the very best producers of Champagne. Their non-vintage Brut and Rosé bottlings are highly prized for their delicacy and complexity while their show-stopping vintage releases in the form of 'Belle Epoque' regularly feature on the wine lists of the world's greatest restaurants. 

We are delighted to welcome Perrier-Jouet's Jonathan Simms to the shop to host a showcase of one of the Champagne region's greatest producers. Guests will enjoy five cuvée from Perrier-Jouet including Grand Brut, Belle Epoque 2012, Blanc de Blancs NV,  Blanc de Blancs 2006, Blason Rose NV and Belle Epoque Rose 2012.

We hope you can join us for what is sure to be a fun and informative evening with one of the world's most Grande Marque Champagne houses.

Once limited to a handful of distilleries producing a limited number of whiskies, Irish distilling has moved on leaps and bounds in recent years with the number of active distilleries set to double between now and 2030. The result for fans of fine whiskey is that quality is improving and innovative and choice is increasing. Single malts, blended malts and innovative barrel finishes are regularly released and old classics are being re-evaluating. 

We are delighted to welcome Ronan Collins to Hedonism to present this pre-St Patrick's day showcase. Ronan is a senior brand ambassador with a passion for fine Irish whiskies and will be guiding guests through a tasting of five iconic Irish drams - Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength, Redbreast 21 Year Old, Green Spot, Red Spot and Midleton Very Rare 2018 Release.

We hope you can join us for this celebration of Irish whiskey with one of the category's most passionate and knowledgeable advocates!

Calvados is one of the world's great spirits categories and sadly often over-looked. Distilled solely in Normandy in northern France, Calvados production represents the perfect marriage of agriculture, science and gatronomy. Distillers often keep orchards of over thirty different varieties of apples, carefully considering the sweetness, acidity and aromatics of each species before it is added to the final blend. Distillation takes place in small copper pot stills before long ageing in oak barrels before bottling.

Christian Drouin is one of the region's most famous names - a family-owned house established in 1960 that and is currently managed by the third generation. Pioneers in many senses, the Drouins have not only focused on producing very fine single vintage and blended bottlings of aged Calvados, but also on reviving lost styles such as "blanche de Calvados", experimenting with unusual barrel finishes and even producing an apple gin using un-aged apple brandy as the base!

We welcome Drouin's-own Alex Mermillod to Hedonism to host this fantastic showcase. Alex will be pouring six superb spirits from the Drouin portfolio including La Blanche, VSOP, XO and Hors d'Age. The tasting will finish with two very special single vintage bottlings from 1980 and 1970.
