Dublin: Irish Whiskey Museum Tour with 3 or 4 Tastings
Description
Step inside Dublin’s only independent whiskey museum for a journey through the 'Liquid Gold' of Ireland. Unlike single-distillery tours, we showcase the best of all Irish whiskeys. Explore four themed rooms with a master storyteller, uncover the 'rise and fall' of the industry, and finish with a tutored tasting of premium blends right across from Trinity College. You can choose between Classic Tour (3 tastings) or Premium tour (4 tastings) with a premium drink plus an exclusive souvenir glass.

Embark on a journey through time in a historic setting, as the intriguing tale of Irish whiskey is revealed. Learn about its rise to glory, its dramatic fall and of course, its current revival. Experience a story never told before in such a unique setting, during an hour-long interactive experience. Daily guided tours unveil the humble beginnings of Irish whiskey, when a foul tasting liquid was used to ease the woes of a troubled and poor nation. Known originally in Gaelic as uisca beatha, over time it was translated to whiskee, and then to whiskey, as it is known today. Enjoy listening to entertaining storytellers as they take you through the magical tale. At the end of the tour there’s a generous whiskey tasting led by experienced master whiskey tasters, giving you the opportunity to sample a range of excellent Irish whiskeys and learn the subtle differences between them, discovering the unique flavours locked inside.

This tour was not initially on our itinerary, but we were nearby with extra time and we are SO glad we went. Daniel was our tour guide. He was really knowledgeable, personable and ready to give recommendations/tips for other spots in the city. The tour itself was very informative and we liked that they made a point for the tasting to use lesser known, local Irish whiskey - e.g., completely skipped Jameson for the tasting as they assume people also go there for a tour/tasting. Definitely do the tour. It was a great experience.
Colm was our guide and did a great job walking us through the history of whiskey in Ireland. He was very funny and the tour was fun and educational. Air conditioned and mostly so a great break as well.
Really engaging and often funny. Linda was great and the whiskey was Flowing!!!
I was very pleased yesterday to take the classic tour at the Irish Whiskey Museum under the guidance of expert, friendly and welcoming Linda and her colleagues in the shop and bar. I found the bar to be a special gem/oasis of calm and comfort! I enjoyed the experience very much. Everything I learned has already come in handy and very valuably informed my selections at other venues (pubs and restaurants). Thanks so much again! :-)
Linda was a fantastic guide entertainer and educator, really enjoyed the tour
Our guide Daniel brought us the story of Irish whisky history in a brilliant way. Definitely recommended. Thank you Daniel for your story, you are a winner!
Brilliant experience! We have done many of the individual distillery tours so decided to do this for something different. Andrew was a fantastic guide, very funny yet still informative! The whiskeys we got to taste were excellent & happened to be ones we hadn’t tried before. Irish coffee in the bar after was excellent. Highly recommend!! Sláinte!
I happened to be walking past after a walk through Trinity College. I felt like an Irish Coffee (it was fantastic) so decided to take the museum tour. Matt was a hoot! Informative and fun - would highly recommend 10/10 👌
This was a super fun small-group experience that did a great job telling the story of Irish whiskey. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour both informative and engaging. The whiskey tasting at the end was an excellent way to wrap up the experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Irish whiskey.
Had a fantastic tour with Andrew, who was informative, funny and very welcoming. Tour covered history of Irish whiskey in the world as well as how distilling techniques evolved. The whiskey was also very good; great way to start a Wednesday morning.
