We had a wonderful time in Ireland! Went to 15 distilleries from Dublin to Cork and up to Belfast. A great mix of small and large distilleries. John is very knowledgeable, interesting, friendly, and patient. He saw to it that we were enjoying ourselves, well fed, and educated in what goes into distilling. We were sad to have our tour end.
Phenomenal whiskey tasting experience!

We had such a good time with John touring 3 distilleries in Dublin! I wanted an introduction to Irish whiskey and to get a better idea of what I like in a whiskey, and this tour delivered! We also learned a lot about Ireland's and Dublin's history. John was very friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and punctual. He answered all of our questions, and was just fun to hang out with for an afternoon. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in whiskey who is visiting Dublin.
Fantastic 3 Day Whiskey Tour in Ireland!

My husband and I went on the three day “Ireland’s Ancient East Whiskey Tour” and it was fantastic!! Every aspect of our itinerary was flawlessly planned and executed by John, our extremely knowledgeable, well-connected, and accommodating host. We ended our trip to Ireland with the whiskey tour and it was our favorite part by far. The tour included private tours of 6 distilleries (incl. two smaller distilleries where we had the opportunity to tour with the owners!), fantastic accommodations at 5 star hotels, and great stops along the way — all via a luxury private car. We highly recommend it to anyone interested in a unique and special experience throughout Ireland. Thank you to Whiskey Island and John for such an amazing tour. P.s. you don’t have to be super knowledgeable about whiskey to enjoy this. I’m not and had an amazing time!!
