We hope you enjoy the below video which was broadcast LIVE here at TheWildGeese.com on Thursday, March 13, 2014in The Wild Geese Virtual Síbín.  This was an event perfectly suited to any síbín -- a whiskey tasting!  A síbín (pronounced SHE-been) is a term for an unlicensed drinking establishment, especially in Ireland, Scotland, and South Africa.  Have no fear ... there are no licensing laws being broken in our little virtual poitín hut.

While whiskey took center stage, this tasting was not limited to just whiskey.  Our panelists sampled all five spirits from Castle Brands' Irish to the Core collection (pictured above).  Danny Fagan from Castle Brands joined us in The Virtual Síbín to walk our tasters through each beverage and describe the ins and outs thereof.

Our live broadcasts from The Wild Geese Virtual Síbín give us all an opportunity to interact and learn from some of the "movers and shakers" in the worldwide Irish community.  We always encourage our members to use the live chat function here on the site to submit questions, comments, and requests during our live hangouts in The Virtual Síbín.
