Itinerary
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.

Traveler reviews
A “must do” if visiting Dublin
We walked past the entrance and were able to jump into a tour starting in just a few minutes (they start once every 30 mins). It was FANTASTIC. It exceeded all expectations. It is very well done - you move between rooms (and along history), while the tour guide creates an immersive and interactive experience. Karen was wonderful - so knowledgeable, passionate, and funny. She made the whole experience unforgettable. We want to repeat it next time we visit!
The Whiskey Tour You Shouldn’t Skip
We had an outstanding experience at the Irish Whiskey Museum with Andrew as our guide. He brought so much fun and personality to the tour, and his storytelling made the history feel lively and easy to follow. The whole experience was enjoyable, informative, and paced in a way that kept us fully engaged from start to finish. It became a surprising highlight of our time in Dublin. The tasting was well structured, the explanations were clear, and Andrew made the group feel comfortable and involved. We left feeling like we actually understood Irish whiskey rather than just sampling it. We definitely recommend this tour. It delivers great energy, great information, and a guide who knows how to make the experience memorable.
Great tour
