Teeling Whiskey Distillery Tour & Tasting
About This Experience
Step inside Teeling Whiskey Distillery, the first new distillery to open in Dublin in over 125 years. Set in the historic Liberties, an area long associated with brewing and distilling, Teeling has brought the craft of whiskey-making back into the heart of the city. This is a genuinely working distillery, built around three copper pot stills named Alison, Natalie and Rebecca, reviving the traditional style of Dublin triple-distilled whiskey.
On this fully-guided tour you experience the sights, sounds, aromas and tastes of a fully operational distillery. Your guide walks you through the whiskey-making process and the story of Dublin's distilling heritage in the Exhibition Space, before the tour finishes with a tasting of the award-winning Teeling Whiskey range. Because it is a working distillery, you see the real business of distilling in action rather than a museum recreation.
After the tour, you can linger on-site at the Bang Bang bar for rare whiskeys and handcrafted cocktails, browse the shop for a bottle or a memento, or stop by the Phoenix Cafe for locally produced tea, coffee and artisan treats. Open seven days a week, Teeling makes an easy, rewarding stop for anyone exploring Dublin's whiskey scene.
