Nice way to pass an afternoon

Excellent tour, very informative, better during working week, as distillery is operational then. Nice cocktail at the end

Best distillery tour ever?

Decided to do this tour as I had previously only been to the cafe and shop and had enjoyed that visit. I have visited a fair few distilleries in Ireland and Scotland but was looking forward to this tour as I reckoned it would be a bit different. I was not disappointed. The tour, conducted by Cian, was fabulous. It was extremely entertaining and while the tour covered the usual aspects of how whiskey is made, it did so with a light touch, concentrating more on the founder and the brand. The tour progressed through a number of “rooms” such as the train station, the actual distillery works, and my favourite, PJ’s collection of curious items in the botanicals room where the flavouring of the gin is discussed. (Whiskey, gin and vodka are all produced here) Given that this distillery was only founded in 2014 they have created a superb brand with a tour to match. Possibly the best distillery tour yet!

What a Blast!

Luke is the best! So knowledgeable, fun, and a great communicator. Had a blast. And the tasting was amazing and am taking a couple whisky bottles home with me. An overall memorable time!
