What To Expect
Irish Whiskey Museum
Embark on a journey through time in a historic setting, as the intriguing tale of Irish whiskey is revealed. Learn about its rise to glory, its dramatic fall and of course, its current revival. Experience a story never told before in such a unique setting, during an hour-long interactive experience. Daily guided tours unveil the humble beginnings of Irish whiskey, when a foul tasting liquid was used to ease the woes of a troubled and poor nation. Known originally in Gaelic as uisca beatha, over time it was translated to whiskee, and then to whiskey, as it is known today. Enjoy listening to entertaining storytellers as they take you through the magical tale. At the end of the tour there’s a generous whiskey tasting led by experienced master whiskey tasters, giving you the opportunity to sample a range of excellent Irish whiskeys and learn the subtle differences between them, discovering the unique flavours locked inside.

5.00We were looking for something different to do in Dublin and came across this place and I'm so glad that we did, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very funny ( I think his name was Breen, I'm sorry if that's wrong) It was great to learn the history behind Irish whiskey and then getting to try some at the end and all for a very good price. Would highly recommend if in Dublin
Loved it

5.00We went and checked out the little secret bar...it was fab!! Lovely bar man who was keeping it all going on his own while making Irish coffees for all the travelling folk from different countries. We where thrilled with our window seat with the view. Hidden gem!
Tasty whiskey and a good time.
