FULL DUBLIN'S DISTILLERY TRAIL PROGRAMME

DISTILLERY TRAIL BEGINS AT 2:30PM

We pick you up in style at your hotel in executive transportation. This is a private tour for you and your party only. This afternoon, we take you to 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! And this afternoon, we take you to three new Dublin distilleries.

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.

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 saunter 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 you sample a lovely Roe tall drink. Our time at Roe will warm up your palate just right , ahead of our next distillery visits!

PEARSE LYONS DISTILLERY

Next we’re off to Pearse Lyons Distillery, set in St. James’ Church which dates back to the 12th century. The tour includes a saunter around the graveyard on the grounds of the church and then you’ll hear the fascinating stories of those buried there. Discover the distillery in all its glory, set in the restored church. We’ll have a private tasting of two Pearse Lyons whiskeys. We also taste the very tasty Rhubarb gin that the distillery is having great success with. It’s important that we showcase the craft gin boom in Ireland too!

Our objective today is to showcase the Irish whiskey category in all it’s glory. There is so much innovation to share, lots of unique approaches and flavours. For instance – Pearse Original is matured in American oak barrels that have been used for bourbon whiskey and stout beer. As your Whiskey Specialist Hosts, we control the narrative , ensuring that you do not hear over and over again how Irish whiskey is made! We’ll also gladly share some tips on best pubs in Dublin for drinking whiskey and beer and the really great restaurants showcasing the best in Irish food.

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 arrive 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 Stillgarden. This 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!
