    We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of this event! Besides the depth of his knowledge and familiarity with what we were tasting, he was very congenial and focused on us enjoying Ireland. Afterwards he shared links to his recommendation not to miss! Thanks!

    No show - don’t waste your time

    Operator was a no show with no communications at all- waste of time, expecting a refund - bar host said he was double booked with another tour at another time at another bar

    Outstanding

    Fun way to learn!

    Arianna_E, Aug 2023
    I came into this experience with no prior knowledge about whiskey. I learned a ton! I was the only one at the tasting which allowed me to ask a ton of questions and get a few bonus tastes! This was well done and thoughtful. I now have a better appreciation for whiskey, the history, and more importantly Irish Whiskey.

    Response from Host, Aug 2023
