The Irish whiskey auctions roadshow
Have you an old bottle of Irish whiskey gathering dust at the back of a cupboard? Something inherited from a parent or grandparent, picked up years ago, or simply forgotten about? Ever wondered about the story behind it — or, more importantly, what it might be worth today?
Navan Whiskey Festival is delighted to present the world’s first Irish Whiskey Auctions Roadshow, in association with Irish Whiskey Auctions.
Discover the value in your whiskey collection
For one very special event, Anthony Sheehy and the brilliant the team from Irish Whiskey Auctions will delve into the fascinating world of vintage, collectable and incredibly rare Irish whiskey. They’ll be bringing along a selection of their own unicorn and ultra-rare bottles, giving guests the chance to see some truly exceptional pieces of Irish whiskey history up close.
Anthony and the crew will talk us through the stories behind these remarkable bottles — where they came from, why certain releases have become so sought after, what collectors look for and how the market for old and rare Irish whiskey has developed over the years. Expect everything from long-forgotten distilleries and historic bottlings to legendary releases that have become the stuff of Irish whiskey folklore.
Uncover your hidden gems
But this isn’t just a chance to admire someone else’s collection.
We want you to raid the back of your own drinks cabinet.
Bring along that bottle that has been sitting unopened for years and let the Irish Whiskey Auctions team take a look. Whether it’s an old Powers, Jameson, Paddy, Bushmills or something altogether more unusual, this is your opportunity to have your bottle professionally assessed and valued and learn a little more about where it came from.
You may have an everyday bottle with a great story attached to it — or you could discover that something you’ve barely thought about for years is now a highly sought-after piece of Irish whiskey history.
Whether you’re a serious collector, a whiskey enthusiast, a history lover or simply curious about that mysterious bottle at the back of the cupboard, this promises to be one of the most unusual events of the festival.
A unique whiskey experience
And here’s something a little different: this is one of the only Irish whiskey events you’ll attend where there's no drinking is involved! This one is all about the bottles themselves — their history, rarity, provenance, stories and value.
No tasting, no sampling — just incredible bottles, fascinating stories and perhaps a few surprises from the back of your own cupboard.
So have a rummage through the drinks cabinet and bring your bottle along — you never know what might be hiding there…
