Located on the north coast of Northern Ireland, Bushmills is steeped in Irish history and is the country’s oldest working distillery. Water from the stream that runs by the distillery is combined with Irish barley to make a great tasting whiskey that has been a favourite of many for hundreds of years. The whiskey tour is fantastic and your guide will teach you the art of authentic ancient Irish whiskey distilling. At the end of the tour, you will be treated to a couple of drams.
This ancient distillery opened in the 17th century and is arguably the most famous Irish whisky. The museum and visitor centre opened in 1992, and there are four different tours to choose from. We highly recommend the “Academy Experience”, where you get to visit the working distillery, witness the art of distillation in action and taste whisky straight from the barrel!
This famous distillery is located in the heart of Ireland and originally opened in 1829. Although not the oldest distillery in Ireland, Tullamore was the first to create a blended whiskey. There are three different whiskey tours available to visitors:
– The Curious Tasters Journey. You will enjoy a guided tour of the distillery by an expert guide. At the end of the tour you will sample three different whiskies.
– The Whiskey Wise Master Class. This tour is similar to the “Curious Tasters Journey” except you sample 6 different whiskies throughout the tour.
– The Ultimate Distillery Experience. This one is for the avid whiskey fan. Your guide takes you to a blending room where you get to create your own blend of whiskey. In addition, you get an in-depth tour of the production process. This is one of the most hands-on whiskey experiences in the world!
