It was super easy when you buy your tickets ahead of time. We walked in and the tour started. The guide was knowledgeable and kept everything moving.

Well worth doing. We don’t drink normally whiskey so had very little knowledge. We were warmly greeted, it was an interesting tour and the tastings showed the very obvious differences in style. We enjoyed it.
Rachel_B, Dec 2025
This was a really lovely experience, great for a group. The tour was 50 minutes long and kept us all moving and active which was nice, and it was easy to hear and understand. The tasting at the end was a good broad sample and I appreciated the cocktails and NA drinks at the end of the tour for drivers! During the holidays there is plenty of decorations whcih make it quite festive as well. Worth the drive from Cork!

Irish Whiskey Drinker MUST. A very well done tour and presentation on the making of the Midleton whiskeys. Killian knew his stuff and kept us entertained. An extremely well presented process on the making of Irish Whiskey😀
And the Bar after the tour is total CLASS

I loved the history of the distilling process and seeing the original building. The tour guide was very informative and did her best to keep us dry on an extremely wet day.

Super interesting and informative. The tasting was superb and also enlightening. How it was performed helped to understand the distinction between the different types of whiskey. We will do that tour again.

It was informative and just the right length. Of course, tasting was the icing on the cake! We enjoyed getting the chance to sit and visit over a drink, as well.
Rodney_A, Sep 2025
Very informative. Tons of history without being boring. Would highly recommend. We’ve done Bow St in Dublin but would rate this tour higher.
Ronald_L, Sep 2025
Lots of information. Grab on to something. Well worth the tour. Guide was informative but tour should of been longer with sample beflre and after.
Stacy_S, Sep 2025
A lot of walking but they have wheel chairs available. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the product!
Krista_K, Aug 2025
The tour was wonderful. The guide was very clear and passionate about the process. It was a nice small group and well paced. The only thing I didn’t realize was that we had to arrange our own transportation from the port and back. After I contacted them they gave me some options which worked out fine.

Our guide Connor could not have been better. It was amazingly real and a pleasure. We would strongly recommend
Billy_H, Aug 2025
Extremely friendly, fun, energetic and knowledgeable young man. Wish I had his name, but he took our group (3pm Sunday, August 3rd) to school on Jameson & Midleton history, distilling, etc. literally, everything one should know to the Nth Degree. He’s quite the Representative for your brands and should be in line for raises, promotions and moving up the Corporate ladder, long-term. He’s a keeper who my wife & I throughly enjoyed.
kennethGiefer, Aug 2025
Nice, fun, informative experience. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend for those that want a distillery tour.
Timothy_B, Jul 2025
Go for the tour, taste the whiskey, and get your personalized bottle! This tour was magical and super informative. Ines was so helpful with questions and she knew every answer to things that we would ask. She made this experience special, bordering on magical!
Kevin_N, Jul 2025
This was actually a great tour. The guid was very knowledgeable and informative. This one tops going to the Jameson Distillery in Dublin because all of the whiskey in Ireland is made here!
Ted_C, Jul 2025
Daniela was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. She had more info about the distillation process than I ever thought I’d need to know, and the tasting was great.
najara33012, Jul 2025

ALISON_P, Jun 2025
Enjoyed the tour however the guide needs to use a microphone very hard to hear and to wait until everyone has arrived in the relevant area before she begins.
