They say you haven’t truly experienced Dublin until you’ve had a proper whiskey in your hand - and we couldn’t agree more. Whether you like it neat, on the rocks, or with a side of history, Dublin’s whiskey and distillery tours serve up a perfect blend of tradition, craft, and just the right amount of craic. So, loosen your belt, warm up your taste buds, and get ready to sip your way through the spirit of Ireland—one golden drop at a time!
As new adventurers in the brewing industry, some get confused between whiskey tours and distillery tours. What even is the difference? Think of it this way: distillery tours are like going backstage to a concert - you get the behind-the-scenes experience, from bubbling still to secret recipes. Whiskey tours are more like being in the action with a front row seat. Less technical talk, more sipping, and plenty of chances to toast your ‘expert’ palate. Whichever tour you choose, you’re guaranteed a good story (and maybe a good buzz).
