Excellent time, would recommend - My dad and I had a very enjoyable experience. Our tour guide Cathal was funny, informative and a great storyteller. We learned a lot in an enjoyable way and would highly recommend it to others. The generous gin and whisky samples at the end were the cherry on top! Don't hesitate, go.

Lots of fun with a wonderfully knowledgeable guide, Patricia! - Patricia was an amazing tour guide gal! Her smile throughout the entire tour set a fun tone for our group. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer most all questions about the process of gin and whiskey making! She is a great addition to your small, but growing company!

Excellent all around! - Trish was amazing as a tour guide. As much as I wanted to love the gin the truth is that their whiskey is where they shine. The single pot is perfect by a fire but the small batch I pound to be my favorite as it has so much flavor and is an easy drink for whiskey lovers and newcomers alike. I have toured so many breweries and distilleries in Ireland and this is probably my favorite in terms of how welcome you are treated and how quality the drink is. Highly recommend

Worthwhile visit (German guided tour possible) - The tour explained the production of whiskey and gin and the specific procedure of this distillery.
In addition, the naming and philosophy of the company were discussed.
Finally, there was a whiskey and gin tasting.

Excellent visit, great Whisky and Gin flavours with respect to the Skellig area - Great experience with a detailled visit and explanation about the distillery history, the typical irish whisky manufacturing method as well as gin production with local ground aromatics. We appreciated the owner mindset taking advantage of the skellig terroir and specialties. We were impressed by the great flavour of the Whisky (despite being « young ») which are premium q d very fine. Same great surprise with the gin.
Definitely worth to pay a stop for the tour and the the tasting.

Brewery tour - Well worth a visit, would recommend the whiskey and gin tour. Loved how the tour incorporated the history of the Skelligs with the story of Irish whisky as well as the science behind brewing.
