Visitor tips
Group sizes are intentionally limited to keep tours personal and interactive, especially for premium and masterclass options. Walk-ins often miss out, so booking online in advance is highly recommended, even on weekdays.
The blending session teaches actual flavor balancing and not just mixing. This isn’t just a fun activity. You’ll learn how distillers create balance using pot still, grain, and malt components. It’s useful if you’re curious about how brands are made.
Each room is themed to a historical era, and the transitions are deliberate. It helps to pay attention to the timeline; it connects Ireland’s past directly to whiskey’s rise and fall.
Non-drinkers get thoughtfully chosen soft drinks (not just water), often matched to the tasting structure. Let the guide know early, and they’ll walk you through flavor notes too.
The vintage spiral staircases and period-decorated hallways are beautiful but narrow. Take photos before your tour group starts moving, or you'll hold people up during transitions.
If you prefer more personal attention and hands-on time, book a cocktail or Irish coffee session. These often have fewer than 15 people and offer better interaction with the instructor.
The tour moves through multiple floors via winding staircases. While there’s a lift, you’ll still be on your feet for a while, so comfortable footwear helps.
