Move over, Riverdance – there’s a new star in the Irish whiskey scene, and his name is Michael Flatley.

The legendary dancer has twirled his way into the world of spirits with the launch of Flatley Irish Whiskey, aptly named “The Dreamer.”

Crafted in partnership with master blender Noel Sweeney, this five-year-old spirit pays homage to Flatley’s late father, a true whiskey aficionado.

Distilled at the Great Northern Distillery in Co Louth, each bottle bears the Flatley family crest, a symbol of heritage and passion.

Keep an eye out for its forthcoming global launch in 2025.
