This tour had a precarious start with a lad named Morris. His socks threatened to ruin the day. However, Kate came to the rescue and provided a priceless experience that I will cherish. Her wit, knowledge, beauty, and authentic Irish charm was essential to the experience. The premium tour is a must. Very informative and smart. The samples at the end will mature a pallet better then an evening in the pub. The small gift shop holds many treasures for anyone back home. read more

Did the whiskey blending experience and we really enjoyed it. I thought it would be a bit boring but the guide was very entertaining and informative. The whiskeys at the end were pretty good as well. read more

Irish Whiskey Museum - Whiskey blending. - Historical Tours Near Me - Dublin, D

I had the luck to be early enough for an early bird ticket. Means the tickets were 10% discount and in my tour there were only two more attendents. Our lovely guide (Helen?) told us lots of interesting facts about whisk(e)y in general, why the Irish is better than the Scottish and even guided us through our tasting of four different kinds of Irish whiskeys. It was a great experience and I had a lot of fun (and not just because of the wiskey at 11:30am). I'd definetely recommend a visit in this museum. read more

This experience was awesome. Very cool tour with a whiskey tasting at the end. Definitely worth the trip there. Laura was our tour guide and she was not only funny, but very informative. I highly recommend this stop on your trip to Dublin read more

This was an informative and interesting tour with a fun whiskey tasting at the end. Each part of the tour takes place in a different room, covering the history of whiskey in Ireland and how it's made. The whiskey tasting featured three or four different types of whiskey that (supposedly) had very different tastes. I could lie and say I tasted the differences between each whiskey, but I'm very far from a whiskey connoisseur and will admit I could only taste some of the notes that guide mentioned. Regardless, I still walked out with a tiny buzz so the tasting wasn't in vain. With the VIP option you get an extra whiskey to taste and a small glass to take home. Bring your student ID for a discount! read more

Fabulous Whiskey Blending Experience - Luke, our tour guide, had plenty of knowledge to pass on (and even though we have both done quite a few distillery tours we still learned something new), the blending itself was lots of fun and we got to play around with (and drink) four different whiskeys, too. Fab value for money - come early and have a drink in the very well-stocked bar! read more

We have to say that Aidan from the Irish Whiskey Museum ( who is not pictured) did a phenomenal job at keeping our attention and making the tour lovely and fun! Louise (pictured in the photo-center) made a wonderful whiskey drink that she created herself (also pictured) and it is highly recommended!. She also gave us her recipe and when we say we liked it, we had multiple of it so take that for what it's worth. Without Aidan and Louise, we aren't sure how our experience might've been but because of them, we had a very memorable time! It was a grand time! read more

We booked a tour of the Whiskey Museum for a group of 10. The booking was easy and there is small discount for 10 or more people in one group. The tour takes you through several rooms with a sampling of 3 different whiskeys at the end. I couldn't tell you which ones cause the tasting was very messy. There was a large number of people taking the tour and it was a bit chaotic in the end. The guide who I think explained something about all three samples remained standing at the front end of the bar so in the back, people couldn't hear a word. We were ushered out quickly, some of us hadn't even finished their samples. Overall, it was somewhat informative but not outstanding. I've been to whiskey/ brandy/ champagne tastings in other countries and this one sadly didn't compare. read more

I absolutely loved everything about the Irish Whiskey Museum, it's a must visit for anyone with even a vague interest in Whiskey! Usually when people visit Dublin they head straight fro the Guinness Storehouse but I personally feel that this experience is on a power with what is on offer up the road. The tour guide Niamh was excellent, funny, charming and interactive with all the folk on the tour. The tour had 4 rooms. It began in the 'creation' room where they explained the history of whiskey and the founders. The second room was a shabeen/speakeasy - in this room Niamh explained whiskey's early days in Ireland. The third room was a bar set up with interactive screens explaining Irish Whiskey's golden era and the fourth and final room was the the tasting bar. Each part of the tour was packed with fun facts and I had no idea that whiskey had such a profound impact on Irish History and culture. It was an hour ling but it didn't feel like it at all - there was so much to take in! For the price it can not be faulted. It may not be as expansive as the Guinness storehouse but it was just as enthralling. read more

This tour is well-worth the price, especially if you're fortunate and get Fionn as your guide. He's a funny, gifted storyteller who was great about answering questions. His sense of humor really added to the experience. The gift shop isn't large but has a nice selection of whisky and whiskey-themed gifts and the two ladies at the desk were friendly and helpful. We didn't have a drink in the bar but it looked cozy and the customers all seemed to be enjoying themselves. I can't wait to visit again on my next visit to Dublin and in the meantime will be recommending the Whisky Museum to all my friends heading to Ireland. read more

The Irish Whiskey Museum is conveniently located next to Trinity College and is definitely well worth a visit if you're in City Center in Dublin! From the moment that the tour started, it was all very interesting, interactive and just an enjoyable experience. You get to climb through different floors of the museum, where you learn about the origins of distillation (Irish whiskey is distilled three times, while Scotch is only distilled twice), the history of whiskey brewery, and the development of the Irish whiskey industry. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, engaging, and funny! His story telling was fantastic - we really couldn't have asked for a better guide. The final whiskey tasting at the end was a great way to wrap up the tour. You get to try three different Irish Whiskies, and with the VIP tickets - four. The whiskey samples were beautifully displayed and even had a palate of water and coffee beans on the side to clear your taste buds and nose. The taster did an excellent job explaining the subtle nuances and differences between each whiskey, and how it should affect our senses (nose, throat and chest). The tour took about an hour - 45 minute tour and 15 minutes of tasting, and well worth the visit. The building is very new and clean - each room was comfortable, wonderfully designed to represent the different eras of Irish whiskey history. It also has an amazing view over Trinity College. The staff there were all personable, welcoming and funny. After the tour, we browsed through the sourvenir section and had conversations about Americans vs. the Irish, how we drink, what we drink, and just exchanged funny stories. They even took the time to walk us through different Whiskey bottles that would be a good gift to a friend who we were staying with in London! Even if you're not remotely interested in Whiskey - you should definitely give this a try. I walked in as non-whiskey drinker, and walked out with a new appreciation for the drink! read more

Very interesting and fun guided tour of the history of Irish whiskey. The best part of the tour is the guides and their sense of humor. Learned some more history of Ireland and got to taste 4 different Irish whiskies at the end. After the tour we went to their whiskey bar and tried another one and had an Irish Coffee which was great and the bartender showed me how to make it. We also talked more about the different Irish whiskies and learned that smaller craft distilleries are making a comeback. I highly recommend the Museum but don't forget to visit their bar too. I had as much fun there and learned a lot too. read more

Eoin (Owen in Irish spelling) was a great tour guide. He explained details of whiskey making, its history, and intricate nuances such as whiskey vs. whiskey all in an informative, lighthearted, and comedic way. Of course, there is a whiskey tasting toward the end of the tour. It's a good start to any trip to Dublin. read more

Our tour guide, Eoin, was funny and informative. He also dealt well with a disruptive child and parents who apparently didn't notice. Small museum, but the tour and exhibits are good. I'm still not a fan of whiskey, but I enjoyed tasting a bit of the different kinds and learning about them. read more

I decided to book tickets for the Irish Whiskey Museum when we booked a night away in Dublin. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, I was looking into this and the Guinness storehouse, not liking Guinness or Whiskey I decided to go for Whiskey. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of people there for the tour and at how great the tour was! Our tour guide was excellent, she new everything there was to know about whiskey and she was really witty which made the tour really fun! She took us to three different rooms, the first room showed how whiskey was made and how it was stored, the second was a shabeen/speakeasy room and the third was a whiskey timeline. All the rooms were equipped was interactive screens which made the tour quite interesting. The tour ended at the bar where we got to taste three different whiskeys. I'm not a fan of whiskey so I only took the tiniest sip but if you enjoy whiskey you love this part. If your in Dublin id recommend checking this place out, even if you don't like whiskey it's still great fun! A wee tip - I booked my tickets on 365 tickets which were almost half the price than at the museum. read more

Awesome experience! A Must-See in Dublin! We went in around 12:30 today for a tour. Was about an hour, we had a very knowledgeable and energetic tour guide, Chaniece, and learned so much about the history of whiskey! Completely recommend to anyone who loves (or really even just likes) whiskey or is interested in a bit of history of Ireland. read more

What a little gem! Tours run every half hour. €18 gets you the standard tour which spans three cozy floors and gives you a fine history of the distillation process necessary to create this nectar of the godz. The end of the tour affords you the opportunity to taste a dram of Tullamore Dew, Powers, and Dublin favorite, The Irishman. I'd definitely recommend springing for the extra 4 euro to upgrade to the 'Premium' tour which includes a taste of Knappogue Castle Whiskey. You'll also get to take home a whiskey tasting glass as a souvenir. Our tour guide Aaron was well-informed and very funny. They have a bar and gift shop on the main floor that you can avail yourself of as you wait for the next tour. I have to admit I thought that this place would be either too touristy or perhaps superfluous given the ubiquity of whiskey in Ireland, but I'm so glad we came in. read more

Make time and go to this museum especially the tour!!! Easily one of the most memorable moments from our time in Ireland! Lots of know knowledgeable facts and interesting and informative information on history, make and taste of whiskey. Our guide was also amazing and funny. The tour we took was a Irish Whiskey Brunch including a traditional Irish breakfast served with tea or coffee and 3 whiskey tastings. It was fun to learn how to properly taste, check and smell the whiskey to recognize the quality of the whiskey and how to help make it taste more smooth. Overall this tour is a solid 5! 5 location was easy to access from downtown Dublin 5 staff \ tour guide kept it funny and interesting the whole time 5 tasting selections 4 Food itself was okay, not glamour-- but did meet the criteria of traditional Irish breakfast 5 price was very reasonable for all that you experienced and got to taste was worth the cost! read more

What a great place to learn about the history of Irish whiskey. Friendly staff and a great environment. Not your typical tourist trap. There's also a great bar upstairs where you can get a few drinks before you were to her. Everyone is super friendly and it is well worth the time. read more

This was the first place I went to on my trip to Dublin and I highly recommend it. My friend and I did the premium whiskey tasting for 18 Euros (students get a discount so bring ID), which was well worth the experience with Mark, the four whiskeys, and the souvenir glass. They go through the history of whiskey in Ireland and the production. There were 7 people total in our group and they did tastings/tours every 30 minutes or so. read more

Great tour. Very informative AND FUN! Very good tasting of multiple brands and different types of whiskey. Recommend the premium tour - same tour but additional taste. I've been on it twice, with different people, and would do it again. read more

I highly recommend this tour. This is not a working distillery so do not expect to see items that you would find in one. The tour does a great job of walking you through the history of whiskey in Ireland. My favorite part was the whiskey tasting at the end. We tried 4 different types of whisky. Before this I had never done a whiskey tasting and I though all whiskey tasted the same. HOWEVER, after tasting 4 distinctly different whiskeys I ended up finding a new favorite whiskey (and I learned that I do not like peated whiskey). Highly recommend if you are interested in an unbiased history lesson on Irish whiskey. read more

Irish Whiskey Museum - Whiskey tasting. Powers was my favorite and the peated whiskey was my least favorite - Historical Tours Near Me - Dublin, D

History of whiskey and 4 tastings for €19. Sure! As far as I know, it's all guided tours starting every half hour. The tour guides are great and the setup and videos are entertaining enough to keep you intrigued throughout the entire tour. At the end, you're brought to a tasting room where they walk you through the sampling of 4 distinct whiskeys along with how to get a different flavor out of them. You're also given a gift to take home which, for some reason, I still haven't opened. I began the tour knowing nothing about the history of Irish Whiskey and came out with a wealth of knowledge. I can only hope there are places like these for other types of liquors. read more

Irish Whiskey Museum - The 4 tastings and a free gift. - Historical Tours Near Me - Dublin, D

Great location as it is right across the road from Trinity College. We opted for the tour with 4 tastings at the end. Worth the extra couple of bucks. It includes a little souvenir tasting glass and it works! I am testing it now! Joni (sp?) was our guide and she was most competent and friendly. Learned a lot about the process and how to taste and tell the difference between the varieties of Whiskies. Nice in that (as opposed to the name Distilleries) they are not promoting any single brand and give a seemingly objective view to a variety of the dram. Joe Bob sez check it out! read more

I really enjoyed this tour even after being put off by other distillery tours. But this isn't a distillery, it's a museum with a guided tour setting off every half an hour and lasting an hour. We had a great guide who went into the history of whiskey production(the posh way of spelling it) and then more into the rise and fall of its popularity in Ireland over the decades and even centuries. After that, we go into the tasting rooms, with examples of traditional and modern Irish whiskeys. Great explanations and opportunities to distinguish between what's what. The museum itself is conveniently located in College Green, so if you're already in town and fancy an interesting and not so heavy tour, then please please go and do this!! read more

I recently visited this museum and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! Fionn, our tour guide was AMAZING and I learned so much! It's definitely worth the price and I'd 100% upgrading to the premium tour for the extra glass and whiskey. Excellent experience. 10/10 would recommend. read more

My sister and I loved our visit to the Irish Whiskey Museum. Our guide Hannah was a real people person, so welcoming. She had a great memory for where we were from and our experiences with whiskey. The tour was not only fun but very informative about the history of whiskey making in Ireland. And plenty of technical details too without overwhelming us. The tasting of 3 different whiskeys was lovely. By the time we had our first sip we knew what to look for, smell and taste. Yet I never felt talked down too. I highly recommend this tour. read more

Travelled to Dublin from Canada via London. The whiskey museum may be a misleading title as it is more of a whiskey tasting and history tour which I enjoyed thoroughly. Our tour guide Owen was fantastic. He possessed that classic depreciating Irish humor and was very knowledgeable and kept the whole group interested through the tour. To experience this best I would suggest doing the classic tour which includes a basic whiskey tasting. Then noting your favorite whiskey and head down to the onsite bar which has a fantastic collection. The bartender will ask you of your favorite whiskey from the tour, then direct you to several different options of flights based on that choice. I happened to bring an outstanding whiskey back home with me from the gift shop. This museum is located in the heart of downtown amongst lots of other attractions. The whole experience took us about 1.5 hours including our post-tour flights. Cheers and enjoy your whiskey read more

We stumbled onto this while visiting The Book of Kells at Trinity College. So glad we decided to do the Premium Tour it included an extra whiskey tasting. Our guide Fione was extremely knowledgeable and kept our group on their toes. He gave unbiased recommendations based on your personal preference at the end of the tour. I highly recommend anyone visiting take this tour. We would have done the higher tour which includes blending and your own bottle to take home if we weren't worried about having to check our suitcases at the airport. If you don't drink you can still partake in the tour and they give you red lemonade. read more

This was such a fun experience! Me and some of my classmates went here! I am not a whiskey drinker so I just tagged along and watched them do the tasting portion but the rest of the guided tour was awesome! My classmates enjoyed the tasting as well!

Absolutely amazing! Brief tour, but a brilliant history! Cora, our guide, was completely on point! Knows her stuff, and brings enthusiasm and Irish charm to her tour!
