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.

5.00Fun and funny walk through the history of whiskey making in Ireland, including multimedia presentations and expert guidance by Andrew. Well worth the premium version to get 4 tastings and a glass souvenir!
Go if you like to learn and you don't have to drink it.

5.00Had an amazing time at this tour with Andrew being a perfect blend of knowledge and humour - if you can get him to lead your tour you’ll have a great time for sure. Starting with a history of whiskey as you would expect which Andrew delivered with drama and humour. Even remembered to wish us Star Wars fans a happy May the Fourth - if you know you know. After the history tour we were led into the tasting room where we were presented with four whiskeys and a few tip on tasting and a few extra personal recommendations offered when chatting with Andrew. Would highly recommend this as an early part of your trip as loads of local places recommended.
Good fun

5.00The tour was entertaining and we learned a couple of new things. Linda, the tour guide, was really fun and the whiskeys from the tasting were quite good. When booking the tour take the mid tier so you can taste all 4 whiskeys.
