IRELAND. Two Stacks Irish Whiskey has issued its first airport-exclusive release in collaboration with ARI, available exclusively at The Irish Whiskey Collection, Dublin Airport Duty Free, with tastings running until 31 July.
The activation celebrates the debut of The Flight Series — a collectible concept inspired by Ireland’s migratory birds and the movement of people and spirits across borders. The first release in the series is a Seven Year Old Single Malt, matured in ex-Barolo wine casks and bottled at 48% ABV, available exclusively at Dublin Airport T2 for €75.
The inaugural bottling features the Irish Barn Swallow — a bird associated with freedom, return and migration — elegantly illustrated on the label. The brand owner said it serves as “a symbol of Two Stacks’ connection to place and a tribute to the journeys of travellers passing through Ireland”.
Designed to appeal to both whiskey lovers and travellers, The Flight Series collectible concept from Two Stacks leans into the art of Irish bonding and storytelling. The interactive stand invites passengers to sample the whiskey, offering a sense of place and discovery at the gateway to Ireland.
The campaign at Dublin Airport Duty Free, with tastings through this month, represents Two Stacks’ largest travel retail activation to date. It offers potential access to over 25,000 passengers departing daily through Terminal 2 alone, many recently travelling to or from The Open Golf Championship in Portrush.
“The Flight Series is about more than just whiskey — it’s about capturing moments, journeys, and the beauty of migration in liquid form,” said Two Stacks Irish Whiskey Co-Founder Shane McCarthy. “To start with the Barn Swallow, a symbol of return and connection, felt like the perfect way to mark our debut at The Irish Whiskey Collection.”
“Passengers are guaranteed to find something special at The Irish Whiskey Collection each time they visit, and we are proud to add The Flight Series to that exclusive offering,” added ARI Liquor & Tobacco Buyer Damien Smith.
“The team at Two Stacks Irish Whiskey have created a series that is full of character, authenticity and heritage. We’re excited to give passengers travelling through Dublin Airport Duty Free the chance to experience that first.”
