Lovely tour. the guide was enthusiastic but felt very scripted and not natural. Wasn't very long and not much about the history. Building is really interesting an they could make a lot more of it with an area with history/pic etc.
Our guide, Niambh, was superb. They thoughtfully separated us into two tours rather than one enormous one, so we had time to savour flavours and learn so much. A beautiful tour of a repurposed , historical building and delicious tasters of whiskey to boot
Hi Sarra, We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your tour experience. Our team is passionate about sharing the story of McConnell's, so it's fantastic to know that came across during your visit. Thank you for your review, and we hope to see you again soon.
We had a great tour of a distillery in a very unique, location in the old Crumlin Rd gaol. The restoration of the derelict gaol to first class distillery visitor centre is truly magnificent. Our guide, Owen, was well informed and presented everything from the story or the original business to the modern day very well. The whisky is great too. An excellent experience and highly recommended.
Hi Simon, Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and learned more about the history and craftsmanship behind McConnell's. We'll be sure to pass your comments on to Owen and the wider team. Thank you again for visiting, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
Learned alot about Irish whisky (Mcconnell s doesn't use the e). Even though I overstayed at Titanic Tour and was late, I still got the whole tour. Meave's and Ethan's enthusiasm was delightful.
Hi Andrew, Thank you for your kind words and for choosing to visit us. We're thrilled that you had such an enjoyable experience and that we could help make your visit memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back to the distillery in the future.
Brilliant tour with Connor and cocktail masterclass with Sam. Our group really enjoyed it and they were exceptional at organising everything for us. We look forward to bringing more groups here in future.

I would highly recommend visiting the distillery for one of the tours. My husband and I were very impressed as soon as we stepped into the foyer, the decor is warm and inviting, we received a warm greeting from the staff. Conor our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed the whisky tasting even though I'm not a big fan of the spirit, I think McConnells 5 year blend has converted me lol. It was great to learn about the distilling process and also the history of the building as it was a former jail. We will definitely be back to experience the afternoon tea and perhaps try one of the other tours that are on offer. An enjoyable night out right on our doorstep.
Thank you for your kind review. It's great to hear that the tasting was a highlight of your visit – it’s ours too! We're glad you enjoyed exploring our new Brand Home with Conor, and we hope to see you again soon.
A wonderful idea to put a distillery in a former prison. A very good tour with whisky tasting.
Hi Norman, Thank you for your review. We're delighted you enjoyed your experience with us and were impressed with the transformation here at McConnell's Distillery. We hope to see you back again soon!
Can’t rate it highly enough. Visited with my elderly father and husband. Given VIP treatment by Sam our guide.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that Sam made such a positive impression during your visit, though that doesn't surprise us! We'll make sure your feedback is shared with them.
We booked the Monday 5pm tour on a whim at lunchtime the same day, and we're so glad we did. This place is an absolute must-visit. Our tour guide, Niamh, was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of the distillery. She brought the story to life and made the entire experience both informative and entertaining. We've done several distillery tours before, but none quite like this one. The setting in the old gaol is fascinating in itself and adds a unique atmosphere that sets it apart from other distilleries. The history of the building is woven seamlessly into the tour, making it much more than just a whiskey experience. The investment, care, and attention to detail that have gone into restoring the site and bringing this remarkable brand back to life are truly astounding. From the beautifully restored building to the engaging exhibits and tasting experience, every aspect of the tour felt thoughtfully designed and exceptionally well executed. Whether you're a whisky enthusiast or simply interested in local history, there's something here for everyone. If you're in the area, this is definitely not to be missed. We would highly recommend it and would happily visit again.
Wow – thank you for such a fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that your experience exceeded expectations and that you enjoyed your time with us, and especially Niamh. Comments like yours mean a great deal to the entire team and make all the hard work worthwhile. We'll be sure to pass on the praise. Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Fantastic tour and we loved our master drink making classes with Sam and Elon !!! bravo !!!
Thank you for the fantastic review. It's always rewarding to hear how much fun guests had during their time with us. We'll be sure to pass on your feedback to the team. See you soon!
