Top Notch - Our tour guide was fantastic. He was very personable. Conor was our host for the whiskey tasting and was absolutely amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable and we really enjoyed how he added his own thoughts about the whiskey and its notes. Later that evening, we enjoyed a Beamish & a Murphy stout over a Guinness thanks to Conor’s suggestion…we were not disappointed. They were both delicious. Thank you Conor for your excellent work!

Personal and Inviting! - Red Breast is by far my favorite Irish whiskey. I wasn’t aware that they were made by Jameson, so when I visited, this was a really big surprise. I was blown away by how friendly and inviting they were. Our tour guide Ines, was fantastic! She speaks multiple languages and was so knowledgeable and pleasant Lee friendly. The tastings that followed the experience were so good and you’re even able to have an after tour drink in their bar. I got a personalized bottle that was engraved with my name and I felt like this was one of the best things I did in Ireland. You must visit this place if you’re close.

Top Notch Distillery - This was actually a great tour. The guid was very knowledgeable and informative. This one tops going to the Jameson Distillery in Dublin because all of the whiskey in Ireland is made here!

- Very interesting tour of the complete distillery. Great production. Big praise to Guide Ines, who explained everything very understandably. The perfect conclusion to the tour was the booked premium tasting of four other high-quality whiskeys.
