Whiskey & Gin Tour -The Shed Distillery - I went on the tour today at The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney and thoroughly enjoyed it. Saoirse was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the distillery and its story. The tour was very interesting and well organised, and the tasting at the end was a lovely way to finish. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. 🍸

Whiskey and Gin in the Afternoon - From the start of the booking process we were given the best advice on what to book considering one of us was driving. When we arrived we were met by Saoirse who was to be our tour guide. Saoirse was so friendly and explained everything as we went through the tour. No question was too silly and there was no rush. We went through the details of the Whiskey production and some tasting followed by the Gin tour, it was two tours in one. We finished off in the beautiful Honey Badger bar when Brian served us Gin cocktails. Again Brian was open to any questions we had about his craft. He was also a great photographer for our keepsake pictures. We then moved into the Jackalope cafe for a delicious lunch. Highly recommend a visit.

Fun tour of the distillery. - Fascinating explanation of the distilling process and fun tour of the facility. They have an excellent cafe for lunch. We loved the atmosphere in the bar and the complimentary drink is a nice bonus.
