Whiskey Island Tours

Based in Malahide, County Dublin, Whiskey Island Tours runs guided whiskey experiences for visitors keen to get behind the glass. Trips are built around Ireland’s distilleries, bars and the stories that shaped the country’s best-known export, with a guide handling the driving, the route and the introductions along the way.

It suits anyone who would rather learn about pot stills, casks and blending in good company than work it out alone, and tours can be a relaxed way to see a little of the countryside between stops.
