Must see - Fantastic tour guide, very informative and friendly. Scenery was incredible as was the gift store. The drink offerings that came with the tour were somewhat limited.

A fun experience - A pleasure to meet the mixologist and learn about the craft of making whiskey. The tasting was fun but very short. The grounds were lovely and I would suggest this tour to anyone.

Brilliant tour, great staff and even better whiskey! - First class, top-notch tour where the world’s greatest whiskey is produced! My personal fav is Knappogue Castle 16 Yr but Redbreast and the Spot Whiskeys are also made there! Lots and lots of goodness, and a “must do” for whiskey lovers! Tom and Rory were excellent guides!!! 5-stars!

This is a “Must Do” in Midleton/Cork - Everything about this experience was the absolute best! The tour guide was knowledgeable, kind, very funny, and personable. The distillery is amazing, learning about the past and present of distilling in Midleton was an experience unlike any other. The tasting was out of this world! I highly recommend this experience for any whiskey lovers or even if you don’t drink a drop, the tour is still an incredibly worthwhile experience.

Disappointing - In a word, disappointing. This your and experience felt very corporate. It was a lot of this is what we used to use, and this was our old process. We had hoped to see more about the individual brands and processes. The tour guide was not overly knowledgeable. Clearly the large parent company has made this a more sterile experience. Do yourself a favor and visit the smaller distilleries, their tours were more personable.
