Historic Opportunity
Kinsale Spirit Company to auction Rare Irish Malt Whiskey on the NFT platform OpenSea
Live auction Friday 23rd April – Friday 30th April 2021
Kinsale Spirit Company goes to market with the first ever Whiskey Cask represented by an NFT (A non-fungible token) and auctioned on the NFT marketplace OpenSea. The 200-litre cask of Rare Irish Malt Whiskey, is live for auction until Friday, April 30th https://opensea.io/collection/
The blockchain powered platform allows the viewers and future bidders to see full traceability from when it was entered into auction. Speaking on the project, Co-Owner of Kinsale Spirit Company, Ernest Cantillon says;
“I’ve been a keen observer on the sidelines of the NFT world for a long time and always wanted an opportunity to get involved. I thought that combining the rapidly evolving world of blockchain to such a traditional business as whiskey would be fun – such a juxtaposition. When this whiskey was laid down nearly 20 years ago, it would have been hard to even imagine the whole world of NFTs and cryptocurrencies.”
Kinsale Spirit Company plans on integrating these digital auctions into their offering combining digital and physical. While opening up new channels of whiskey aficionados and avid NFT collectors and crypto currency enthusiasts.

Statement from Whiplash & The Big Romance:
Fidelity Beer Festival Postponed to 2022"It is with great disappointment that we announce the postponement of Fidelity Beer Festival, due to take place this 16th & 17th July. The reaction to our event has been incredible, with Saturday's session sold out so much faster than we could've imagined and Friday tickets nearly gone too, so this has been a very tough decision.
An event of this scale requires so much forward planning, with beer & brewers flown in from around the world, so with where we're at regarding the latest restrictions & vaccine rollout, we are unfortunately unable to wait any longer.
With that, Fidelity 2021 will now take place on 15th and 16th July 2022 at The Mansion House, Dublin.
All tickets for 2021 will remain valid for the corresponding date in 2022 and we’d love it if you could join us then. We’re now even more motivated to make this the best beer event Ireland has seen and we hope it will be worth the wait. We do understand that this might not be possible for everyone, so you can request a full refund until 25th June 2021.
Ticket holders now have two options:
● Hold on to your tickets and join us in 2022 - Friday and Saturday 2021 tickets will still be valid on the corresponding days in 2022
● Get a refund – until 25th June 2021 you can "Contact The Organiser" to request a refund via Eventbrite or email info@thebigromance.ie using the subject "Fidelity Festival Refund"
Additional tickets that become available through refunds will be on sale from 28th June.
We want to thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in July 2022. We will sesh again!

White Hag Go Tangerine
Just when we thought we’d seen the last of the Shebeen, it comes roaring back to relevance. Conceived by a few determined Irish folk on both sides of the brexit border during covid, Tangerine Shebeen is a juicy, sweet and zesty IPA that was made for enjoying in illicit company, or secretive hideaways, while dreaming of the pub.
Tangerine Shebeen has been in the works for some time now, so we’re very excited to finally launch this zesty collab alongside our friends in Round Corner Brewing, Melton Mowbray.
Coming in a big boy 440ml can and landing at 5.7% abv it’s just a perfect ‘start of summer’ beer! Details and order here.

More exciting new wines are on their way to Cork—the recently arrived Loire Valley whites from Les Frères Couillaud and the comprehensive range of champagne from Champagne Baron Albert were just the beginning of our 2021 plans—so it's time to make some space in the Little Island warehouse for the next deliveries.
See all the wine offers here.
