What makes this tour special

Whiskey is one of Ireland’s most famous exports, a billion-dollar industry deeply rooted in tradition. Some of the world’s most iconic whiskey brands are based on the Emerald Isle, and a renewed interest in this rich and complex spirit in recent years has led to a whole host of new distilleries cropping up across the country. A visit to Dublin is an ideal opportunity to get a closer look at Irish whiskey culture, and our tour allows you to learn the ins and outs of whiskey making while exploring the city, visiting 3 of the most exciting distilleries in the heart of Dublin with your expert host.

On your half-day Irish whiskey experience, you will:

Step into Dublin’s spirited past and present with a half-day whiskey journey through the Liberties, the historic heart of Ireland’s distilling tradition. Your experience kicks off at your hotel, where you will meet your host and private driver, and make your way to the vibrant corner of Dublin where, over a century ago, the streets brimmed with the aromas of malt and oak. Along the way, your expert host, a proud Dubliner and whiskey connoisseur, will point out important landmarks and share the stories behind them.

Your adventure unfolds across three of the Liberties’ most exciting distilleries, each revealing a different side of Ireland’s whiskey revival. At the first one, you’ll enjoy a spirited group cocktail workshop, experimenting with balance and flavour before sampling the house’s signature blend. The second stop brings you into a beautifully restored building where innovation meets tradition, and where whiskey and gin are reimagined with a contemporary twist. The final distillery offers a deeper dive into the renaissance of Irish whiskey, with another private tasting session that reveals how this complex spirit has captured the imagination of a new generation of makers and enthusiasts alike.

Between sips and stories, you’ll not only learn about the craft and chemistry behind whiskey production but also feel part of the rich narrative of a city that once claimed the title of whiskey capital of the world. With exclusive tastings, insider knowledge, and the ease of private transport, this intimate experience combines history, culture, and craftsmanship into an afternoon as smooth and memorable as the blends you’ll try.
