On Sunday, 8th June, 2025, Teeling Whiskey will mark its tenth anniversary with a birthday bash at its iconic distillery in the heart of Dublin 8. The celebration will bring together music, local culture, and a standout culinary collaboration with Michelin-starred restaurant Variety Jones.
In partnership with Variety Jones head chef Keelan Higgs, the Teeling team has crafted a one-night-only ‘sip-and-dine’ experience, featuring a menu inspired by the character and tasting notes of Teeling’s most distinctive whiskeys. This exclusive dining experience is strictly limited and available by ballot only. To be in with a chance of attending, simply sign up at the link here. All entrants will join the Teeling mailing list and receive updates directly from the distillery.
The experience will feature a series of courses—some directly inspired by specific Teeling expressions, each paired with complementary whiskeys to elevate the flavours. Guests can also expect bespoke drinks that incorporate seasonal ingredients used in the menu itself, reflecting the shared creativity and rooted approach that both Teeling Whiskey and Variety Jones are renowned for.
The evening will begin with whiskey tasting and anniversary tour at the award-winning distillery, followed by a visit to a much-loved local pub in Dublin 8, and will culminate in the dining experience at Variety Jones, hosted by Keelan Higgs and Teeling Whiskey Global Brand Ambassador Rob Caldwell.
The Teeling Whiskey Birthday Bash is a free community event open to all, to thank the people, neighbours, and supporters who have helped shape Teeling’s story over the past decade. Newmarket Square will host the festivities, with live music from students at BIMM Music Institute, street food, collaborative local craft producers, and complimentary Teeling goodies for every guest. The event invites the local community to raise a glass to the unique people, character, and spirit of the Liberties that have helped make Teeling Whiskey Distillery a landmark in the area.
Jack Teeling, Founder and Managing Director, said:
“From day one, we’ve felt incredibly lucky to be part of such a vibrant, creative, and supportive community here in Dublin 8. The Teeling Whiskey Birthday Bash is our way of saying thank you to the people who welcomed us with open arms and helped turn our vision into reality. We’re especially excited to be working with Keelan and the Variety Jones team on a menu that captures the spirit of local craft at its finest. The blend of world-class local food and our award-winning whiskeys is a fitting way to mark such an important milestone.”
Keelan Higgs, Head Chef at Variety Jones, said:
“We’ve always believed in craft that’s rooted in its surroundings, and Teeling shares that same philosophy. Their whiskey is full of character and stories, and it’s been a pleasure to create something together that reflects the shared spirit of Dublin 8.”
