Welcome to Mo’s Whiskey Club, a monthly whiskey night upstairs in Quaglino’s at Mo Chara.
This is a guided whiskey tasting designed to be relaxed, welcoming, and properly good craic whether you’re new to whiskey or already deep down the rabbit hole.
What Is Mo’s Whiskey Club?
Mo’s Whiskey Club is a monthly, guided whiskey tasting experience for curious beginners, seasoned whiskey drinkers, and everyone in between.
Hosted upstairs in Quaglino’s, each session takes place in a cosy, laid-back space that’s perfect for good conversation, great whiskey, and taking your time over a few proper drams. Think less lecture, more pub table, just with better whiskey in the glass.
Each month, we explore a different whiskey theme: distilleries, styles, cask finishes, or brand-led sessions in a way that’s informative without being intimidating. This isn’t about showing off or drinking for the sake of it. It’s about great whiskey, good stories, and learning something new along the way.
The Whiskey Club is hosted by Ronan Collins (Whiskey4Breakfast), who has worked across all sides of the whiskey industry and is passionate about making whiskey approachable, honest, and enjoyable.
What’s Included
- A guided tasting hosted by Whiskey4Breakfast and/or a brand representative
- A curated lineup of at least 5 whiskeys, served in Glencairn tasting glasses
- Insight into how the whiskey is made, why it tastes the way it does, and what makes it worth drinking
- Brand stories, background, and a bit of industry insight
- A relaxed, friendly atmosphere, no snobbery, no pressure
Some nights may include guest speakers or brand ambassadors, but every session is fully guided and designed to stand on its own.
