Sip, savour & discover: Fordes Courtyard Redbreast Experience

Fordes Courtyard is set to host an exceptional evening of flavour and craftsmanship as Limerick’s newest bar presents a special Redbreast Whiskey & Food Pairing Night, a standout event in its growing Twilight Thursday series.

Set in the stylish new Limerick City venue, this curated tasting experience brings together premium Irish whiskey and fine dining with an expertly guided, multi-course format designed to showcase the best of both worlds.

If you’ve been looking for the perfect excuse to visit Limerick’s newest bar and see what all the buzz is about, this event offers an ideal introduction.

At the heart of the evening is a five-course tasting menu created by two international head chefs, each dish carefully designed to complement and enhance the character of five Redbreast expressions.

Guests will be welcomed with a Redbreast Orchard Spritz cocktail on arrival before moving through the guided tasting journey. Throughout the evening, explore how texture, aroma, and flavour interplay between glass and plate, turning dinner into an immersive sensory experience rather than a traditional meal.

The evening is set to be expertly narrated by Matthew Smyth, Prestige Brand Ambassador with Irish Distillers, whose commentary offers both newcomers and seasoned whiskey enthusiasts a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind each expression.

The venue itself is quickly becoming one of the city’s most talked-about new openings. Nestled in the heart of Limerick, Fordes Courtyard combines elegant design with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal backdrop for curated tasting events and premium drinks experiences.

For those seeking a distinctive night out, whether as a date night, a gathering with friends, or a treat for whiskey enthusiasts, the Redbreast Whiskey & Food Pairing Night offers a rare opportunity to explore one of Ireland’s most respected spirits in a thoughtfully paired culinary setting.
