Middleton distillery tour. - I LOVED this experience. Our tour guide, Oscar was very knowledgeable and friendly. The group only had 3 of us so he was exceptional at spending time answering our questions. Such an interesting place. The Jameson whiskey as always was delicious and the sights were very cool. would recommend going on this tour. At our Tasting Mike, was also very impressive. His knowledge and attention to our every inquiry was impressive. Would also recommend this part of the tour.

Well worth a visit - Highly recommend. Lot's on the history of Midleton distillery, very interesting. Our guide Tom was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. We then later on, had a Redbreast tasting experience (visited the cafe first to eat and drink something other than fantastic whiskey 🙃) Tom was again our guide, he made it fun and enjoyable. We sat at the bar afterwards which was very relaxed, an excellent way to try a whiskey that you've not had previously. We took our time, hydrated in-between and chatted to a very knowledgeable and likeable guy (wish I could remember his name) ......serving behind the bar. 10/10 for friendliness and knowledge.
