FULL IRELAND'S HIDDEN HEARTLANDS WHISKEY TRAIL PROGRAMME
8:30AM DEPARTURE FROM DUBLIN CITY
Pick up at your hotel in Dublin City. Your executive transport will be there ready for boarding and we head out of the city for the west. Your Whiskey Specialist Host will entertain you as you sit back and enjoy the Irish countryside. Don’t get too comfortable! Our first stop is only a quick hour down the road. First stop is Kilbeggan Distillery. The wonderfully historical Kilbeggan gives you a flavour of what Irish whiskey making was like back when the category was on top of the world. You will also discover the new micro-distillery which opened in 2007 before enjoying a master class in the tasting of four Irish whiskeys from the Kilbeggan Distillery Range.
ATHLONE AND IRELAND'S OLDEST PUB
Next, we visit one of Ireland’s most authentic towns, Athlone. Enjoy some free time here and we’ll book you a table and buy you some lunch at one of our favourite restaurants in town. After, your Host will take you for a visit to Sean’s Bar – Ireland’s oldest pub. In fact, Sean’s Bar is not only the oldest bar in Ireland, but also the oldest in Europe. And right now, it is the oldest pub in the world! The guys at the bar will show you a letter from the Guinness Book of Records as proof! They also have their very own whiskey brands which are really, really good. And you’ll enjoy a tasting of Sean’s Specially Blended & Single Malt Irish Whiskeys during our visit to the pub.
TULLAMORE DISTILLERY
Another quick transfer by road will have us at the home of Tullamore D.E.W., one of the biggest Irish whiskeys in the world. This distillery is new and it was off-limits to visitors for a long time, but now we are delighted to have access to our guests. It is genuinely the most impressive distillery visit to large scale plant, on the island of Ireland. The cutting edge technology, the sheer size of the complex – it’s a really special experience for whiskey fans, and particularly for Tullamore D.E.W. fans. After a delicious Irish coffee on arrival, we take the ‘Ultimate Distillery Experience’. You will see the still, the mashers, the fermenters and the visit to the warehouse is a real highlight. You will have the chance to sample a broad range of Tullamore D.E.W. whiskeys today, including some rare single pot still whiskey straight from the cask. After time for shopping, we hit the road for Dublin and have you back at your hotel for 6:30pm.
Excellent tour
What a splendid way to spend a day. Sit and relax in a car while looking at the fantastic scenery of Ireland with a friendly and perfect guide, John, who knew so much and told us so many interesting things. When arriving at the distilleries John checked us in. Everything was prepared for, we didn’t have to do anything.. more than do the tours and taste whiskey:)
Kilbeggan, the nice little town Athlone where you could have some lunch before visiting Sean’s bar (the oldest bar, at least in Ireland) with whiskey tasting as well and finally Tullamore with a master class.
At first I thought the price was quite high but looking at what we got it was worth every penny!
