Micil Distillery Experience 2 - Gin, Poitín and Whiskey

Marcus did an excellent job sharing the stories and history of the spirits. We learned so much and left with a fond appreciation of the distillery. Highly recommend!

Interesting and informative tour with enterprising and passionate guys, A must-try

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.
