The tour is a little pricey, but I had a good time. The tour is all about the old factory, i would have liked to have seen the current factory also. The guide was nice and we got to sample 3 different whiskeys at the end. I would recommend it. More

Excellent surroundings, fabalous building. Exhibition is somewhat lacking. I think you'll feel as if something was missing from the tour, given how much you paid for it. It has the potential to be special - but at the moment it's not. More

We loved this experience! Great tour, very informative! Beautiful disillery! Volunteer at the end and you'll be able to become a certified Irish whiskey taster! I would recommed this tour over the one in Dublin. The cafe there is also great, as we got a lesson on how to make a real Irish coffee- which is one euro cheaper to... More

I belive this tour is overpriced for what we got. It’s a 1-hour guided tour and it was interesting to learn how whiskey was made in the old days. You only see the old distillery, which was stopped being used in the 1970s. The new distillery is on the property, but not part of the tour. You do get to... More
