Micil Distillery Experience 2 - Gin, Poitín und Whiskey

This was the BEST tour! I've done several distillery, brewery or winery tours... our guide at Micil was great! She gave us so much information about the history of spirits in Ireland and Galway, very interesting and different than the North American story. The tastings were generous and our guide obliged one guest with a substitution when requested. I came back to the States with multiple bottles, which NOW are rare, and highly prized as "one of a kind" in my home Pub. Enjoyed every minute and sip.

We were captivated for the whole hour of this experience. A lot of interesting information presented in a very professional and entertaining way. Learnt a lot including the right way to taste whisky!

Funny, friendly, and informative.

Fantastic experience, definitely worth it. First you think what kind of pub is this, until you walk on to the brewery. At a very fast pace, the history of gin, poitin and whiskey is told with a lot of humor. But above all, well-filled glasses of high quality. I really enjoyed it.

Really nice place and good atmosphere. The knowledge of the presenter was awesome! The drinks were good and good service if you wanted to test the other drinks they had. Also very nice that they serve food in the bar below which you could go to afterwards or in advance. Worth a visit, definitely!!

This was an amazing experience. I believe her name was Evie but not sure of the spelling. She was very informative, went through the history,, processes, the lay of the land and especially the myths about Poitin. We were fortunate because the other people coming didn’t show so we had her to ourselves. We were able to sample everything and I am bringing home a few bottles, t-shirts and a wonderful memory of Micil. I would recommend this to anyone.

This was a wonderful experience! Our guide explained the history of Micil’s and was in depth in explaining what goes into making the different alcohols. The tasting of the different alcohols was quite generous.

Very good guide, lots of answers to questions were elaborated and continuous insights delivered. Great tasting spirits part of Irish culture.

Fantastic experience, not to be missed.

We did the Micil Whiskey tour yesterday as a birthday treat and had an amazing time. There were four of us and it felt really personal and relaxed. Aoife was our guide and she was absolutely brilliant — so knowledgeable, engaging, and great fun, with a real passion for the history and the craft behind Micil. The storytelling, the tastings, and the whole atmosphere made it a really special experience. You can tell how much care and authenticity goes into everything they do. A perfect way to spend a birthday in Galway — would highly recommend to anyone visiting or even locals looking for something different.
