A Night of Heritage and Hospitality as The Irishman Whiskey Debuts in Nigeria

The Irishman Whiskey, a premium expression of Walsh Whiskey from Ireland, made its official Nigerian debut with an exclusive tasting dinner at Vici Lagos. The evening brought together a select circle of cultural tastemakers, entertainers, and trade partners to experience the rich, smooth character of the award-winning Irish whiskey. Guests were treated to a guided tasting session led by Global Brand Ambassador James Kilgannon, who shared the remarkable journey of Irish whiskey from its proud heritage to its revival in modern times. He drew parallels between Irish and Nigerian cultures, highlighting a shared spirit of warmth, hospitality, and storytelling. The event attracted notable personalities including actor Deyemi Okanlawon, Aduke Shitta-Bey, Ezinne Akudo, Taymesan, Kene Okonkwo, Moses Ebite, Efe Tommy, Nimi Briggs, and Beauty Tukura, alongside industry trade partners who were among the first to raise a glass to The Irishmans arrival in Nigeria. Speaking at the event, James expressed excitement about introducing the brand to Nigeria. The Irishman is about craftsmanship, character, and connection. Nigeria, with its energy and deep appreciation for shared experiences, is the perfect place for this whiskey to find a home. The Irishman now joins Nigerias premium spirits portfolio, marking a bold step in Walsh Whiskeys global expansion. With this launch, the brand positions itself as a whiskey of choice for discerning drinkers who value authenticity and memorable experiences. The post A Night of Heritage and Hospitality as The Irishman Whiskey Debuts in Nigeria appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
