The Midleton Distillery Experience "Behind the Scenes" tour in Cork is a must for whiskey fans. Our guide was brilliant, blending history with classic humor as we explored the historic 1825 grounds, Microdistillery, Cooperage, and Maturation Warehouse. The relaxed two-hour pace and curated premium tastings—featuring Redbreast and Spot whiskeys—make it a top-tier, unforgettable Irish experience.

Impressive facilities and helpful knowledgeable people. We came earlier than our reservation and they allowed us to take an earlier tour.
