FULL DUBLIN'S DISTILLERY TRAIL PROGRAMME
DISTILLERY TRAIL BEGINS AT 2:30PM
We pick you up in style at your hotel in executive transportation. Travel is private for you and your party only, and a Whiskey Specialist Host accompanies you throughout. We depart direct for the Liberties neighbourhood of Dublin, which once housed 32 working distilleries, all of which disappeared in the 20th century. But now, distilling is returning to the Liberties with a bang!
Our small team of guides live in Dublin. We take great pleasure in sharing our city with visitors. En route to the Liberties, we’ll point out all landmarks of importance . This is a city tour with whiskey in its heart! IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a wide range of whiskey sampled on tour. But please be reassured, you are served samples only, not full measures, we ensure it’s not too much whiskey. A hearty lunch before the tour is recommended!
ROE & CO AND THE ART OF WHISKEY COCKTAIL MAKING
We start with probably the coolest whiskey experience in town – the Flavours Workshop at Roe & Co. This is our favourite whiskey experience, so it just has be part of the agenda! We visit an old Guinness beer power station, which is now the Roe & Co Distillery. The great team at Roe will take you on walk through the working distillery, then into the Flavours Room where you’ll be shown how to create a whiskey cocktail that suits your palate. You will also sample Roe Blend 106 – the flagship expression from this distillery.
The tour finishes in the bar where your Host will arrange a little sampling of Roe & Co Solera Single Malt – a really interesting expression from this distillery. Our time at Roe will warm up your palate just right , ahead of our next distillery visits!
JAMESON DISTILLERY BOW ST.
Next we’re off to the original home of the big one! Jameson Distillery Bow St. Jameson was made in Dublin for 200 years before they moved to the Irish countryside in 1975. The company that owns Jameson have sold a lot of the real estate in Dublin over the decades, but they held onto one original building, an old brewhouse, and that is the brand home for Jameson in Dublin today. We’ll take you on a little walk through the old building, Jameson is a big part of the Irish whiskey revival, it’s important that we tell it’s story!
We have a most special experience lined up for you here at the home of Jameson today. They have a wonderful maturation warehouse onsite with about 90 casks of whiskey. We’ll access this warehouse and hear from one of the Brand Ambassadors in relation to where Jameson source their barrels from, what maturation does for whiskey etc. You’ll sample some rare Jameson Single Pot still (aged 18 years or even older!), and at cask strength.
TEELING WHISKEY DISTILLERY - SINGLE POT STILL SPECIALISTS
The ideal finish is with Teeling Whiskey Distillery – the first new distillery to open in Dublin in over 125 years. The Teeling brothers have already heaps of awards for their whiskeys and are captains of innovation in their approach to making whiskey. Your Host will take you on a visit to the distillery floor , a proper quintessential Irish distillery. We’ll do a brief walk through the production side, before arriving in the bar for a private tasting of Teeling Small Batch, Single Grain and Teeling Single Pot Still. Teeling Distillery is an absolute must on any Dublin distillery trail.
NOTE : We may need to swap out one of the advertised distilleries with either Pearse Lyons Distillery or Stillgarden. Pearse Lyons is set in an old disused church, probably the most unusual venue for a distillery! Stillgarden is Dublin’s newest distillery, opening March 2020 at the start of a global pandemic! But that hasn’t stopped them producing a range of delicious spirits including gin, vodka, and other fruity liqueurs. This is Dublin’s smallest distillery, it’s an up close and personal visit. If you’re a big spirits fan and you don’t want to have your tour overly focused on whiskey, feel free to request a visit to Stillgarden at check out and we will incorporate it into your tour!
If there’s one thing you do on a trip to Dublin, make it this....
A small group of us recently had a private whiskey tasting with John on a trip to Dublin. We had such an amazing evening (even though I’d have said I wasn’t the biggest whiskey fan before doing this….though was sold after the delicious introductory cocktail) and can’t thank John enough! So fun and yet informative, I’ve been recommending him to all my friends since getting home! Thanks a mil, we’ll defo be back!
