My visit to the Irish Whiskey Museum with my boyfriend was an innovative and creative experience that exceeded all my expectations. It's not just a tour about the drink; it's a fantastic immersion into the history of Irish whiskey and its cultural impact. What truly made the visit wonderful was our guide, Gary. He is an exceptional storyteller. With an incredible sense of humor, Gary explained the history of how it all began, from the origins to its current resurgence. His hilarious and engaging way of presenting the facts made the learning fun and highly memorable. My boyfriend and I loved every minute! If you are looking for a fun, entertaining, and genuinely interesting way to spend an hour or two in Dublin, look no further. Try to get Gary as your tour guide! 1 recommend it 100%!

The experience was less technical than I was expecting. My main point of comparison was to the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh, which I thought was better. I would have liked to learn more about whiskey and Irish Whiskey, and hear the words "the tax man is coming" less. Our guide was too theatrical. While unfailingly nice, he is clearly meant to be in musical theater, and not leading whiskey museum tours.
