Great, friendly welcome in beautiful premises. The bars were stylish and the drink we got to start with was a good way to begin our tour. Our guide was infectiously happy, competent and made the experience flow from start to finish. The taste and smell experiences were "a good spice" to the story telling and the experience. We were thrilled, to say it the least, and would definitely recommend this experience to friends and acquaintances who are going to Dublin!

The tour was fun and informative. The guide was engaging and made the tour fun and interesting. I enjoyed the welcome cocktail of Jameson and Ginger ale. It was a great way to show another option to enjoying whiskey. I am not a person who would drink whiskey straight so I very much enjoyed the option. I think it could be my new favorite cocktail. Definitely a great stop in Dublin!

Brandon provided an excellent tour. Provided us with great information about the history and current operation of Janison and about the distilling process. He guided us through the tastings well.

I was really disappointed because I liked the idea of visiting the distillery, since I drink that whiskey in Málaga. But the guided tour is in English, and I don't speak English. I was treated wonderfully (couldn't have been better) by a girl who knew a little Spanish; her name is Ms. Lead. She refunded the ticket price and was very, very kind. A 10 out of 10 for her. They should mention on the online booking page that the tour is in English or provide headphones in other languages.

I enjoyed the explanations of the process. The tasting room was very nice as well. It felt a little rushed in that room. I have been on bourbon tours and you get to smell the "angel's share" and that would put this tour over the top. Maybe it could be a special experience you can add. I also would have like to hear about what pairs with whiskey. I have done chocolate and bourbon tastings. That would be another gin special tour.
