A great afternoon at Midleton

We had a private group tour with a fantastic guide, Tom, only 26 years old but a knowledge of whiskey well beyond his years. There were about 16 in our group and the tour was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. I learnt a heap about the history of whiskey in Ireland but also a lot about what’s to come. If you’re in the Cork area I highly recommend including this in your itinerary

Fantastic Whiskey Experience

Me and my Fiancée have been looking forward to doing this tour for a long time now and we finally got down to Midleton to experience it. As soon as you walk into the building you are meet with a fantastic wall of whiskey bottles that is a brilliant statement and really sets the tone for the Distillery. We done the Distillery tour with a Premium Whiskey tasting. I unknowingly booked the premium tasting, if you are an enjoyer of whiskey then it was absolutely worth the extra price. It was brilliant to be able to sample some of the more premium whiskeys at a reasonable price. A special mention goes out to Daniel, our tour guide and Emily, who guided us through the tasting. Daniel was very knowledgeable about the distillery, was so friendly, we all felt we could have the craic with him for the duration of the tour and he was very happy to answer any questions that came his way. Emily was equally brilliant during the tasting, she presented each of the whiskeys clearly and she was so descriptive with the different tasting notes and smells of each whiskey and overall made it a really welcoming atmosphere for the tasting. All the staff we encountered were brilliant across the whole Distillery, with all of them making us feel welcome in the Distillery. Across the bar, the shop, the tour and tasting we spent around 3 and half hours there and it was worth every minute, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we would happily return to sample some of the other experiences on offer at the Midleton Distillery.

Loved the tour. Tour guide was great and very informative. Would like to have Powers as an option for the whiskey tasting and also have Powers merchandise available to buy.
