Great history and tasting tour at Midleton distillery - We are a group pf 5 best friends and had Brain take us on our tour which covered how the whiskey was made and a tour of the production facilities. The highlight was sampling from a cask in the warehouse. Brian was tremendous, providing us with lots of interesting information in a fun and personal manner. We all thought this experience was one of the highlights of our trip and highly recommend this to anyone who appreciates history and how whiskey is made at Midleton.

Great Experience - We went on a tour on 10/31. Our tour guide, Killian, was well-spoken and knowledgeable. He answered questions thoroughly and provided lots of information in a professional manner. The tour itself was interesting, providing a look behind the scenes and history of Irish whiskey and the distilling processes. At the end of our tour, we received our complimentary drink and had the unexpected bonus of a gentleman who was singing and telling tales in the bar area. It was a great way to end our time there.

Highly recommended even for someone who thinks they don’t like whiskey - Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Wasn’t really sure because I didn’t like whiskey. My daughter and son in law wanted to do this. After the tour and tasting i have a completely different opinion!!! Also, our tour guide Willy was amazing. I highly recommend this

Excellent and informative - This tour was above and beyond expectations. Michael was down to earth and took great care to explain the whiskey making process from start to finish. And, he made it easy to understand. The facilities are well maintained and historic. The tasting was well done with full explanation of the nose and taste of the selection of whiskeys. Would definitely come again.

Fun for a non-drinker - Ciaran was the best possible cocktail class teacher and made the class an absolute treat on our Cork vacation. I’m a non-drinker and he made me a fabulous NA sour to end the class. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!
