Consider this your two-week warning – Valentine’s Day is just around the corner!
And if you’re now racking your brain about what to do with your one and only, given that a restaurant visit or a hotel stay are off the table, we’re ready to ride to the rescue.
How about this – a romantic night in for two, sampling some of the finest Irish whiskey and delicious local food, specially put together by the experts at Powercourt Distillery?
The Enniskerry-based distillery has launched a very special Fercullen Irish Whiskey and food pairing hamper, just in time for Valentine’s Day on Sunday 14 February.
This decadent hamper is a Valentine’s dream for whiskey fans, as it contains 50ml miniatures of Fercullen’s 8-Year-Old Blended Whiskey, its 10-Year-Old Single Grain and its 14-Year-Old Single Malt, allowing you to compare and contrast these three fine drops.
But don’t worry if your date doesn’t share your taste for the uisce beatha – the hamper also includes a specially selected bottle of red wine.
Not only that, there’s a fantastic range of handpicked local Irish produce, including Wicklow Bán cheese, The Wooded Pig fennel salami and Olly's Farm honey from Powerscourt Estate.
Of course, no romantic evening would be complete without something sweet, so you can finish your meal with Fercullen Whiskey chocolates and caramel chocolate hearts from the Chocolate Garden.
There’s even a specially selected playlist to soundtrack your evening, and a QR code giving you and your beloved access to some ancient and epic Irish love stories and romantic poetry.
The Valentine’s Day Hamper is on sale now from the Powerscourt Distillery website, priced at €85.50.
