BEST whiskey tasting in Dublin! - The BEST whiskey tasting in Dublin! You must do this experience. Forget all the tourist tastings! Done in a really buzzy pub with great owners. Derek is so knowledgable and the two hours makes it really enjoyable and you’re not rushed. Fantastic value for money. The whole experience really made our weekend.

So Much Fun! - We are whiskey lovers, and have tasted quite a few over the years. We were looking for something a little out of the ordinary, and chose a private tasting with Experience Irish Whiskey. We loved it! Derek know so much about the whiskey industry and Irish whiskey in specific. The friend I went with is also a collector, and quite knowledgeable about whiskies and even he learned a few things. Derek offered us a broad range of some of Ireland finest whiskeys, specially paired with some amazing gourmet chocolate. (Yes, chocolate and whiskey DO go together! Yum!) What a fabulous way to spend a cold, rainy Dublin January afternoon! Hope to do it again next year.

Interesting and knowledgeable experience with some delicious whiskey - Brilliant experience, the variety of whiskeys chosen was great, with a real in depth explanation about what made each of them the way they were. Lots of interesting historical context thrown in, he was happy to answer any questions and was very easy to talk to. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a whiskey, whether it's just an occasional glass of Jameson to end the night, or someone with a cabinet full of different whiskeys, something for every level of experience.
