Our experience is very unique in Dublin as it is immersive and we remain in the comfort of the traditional pub setting while enjoying some of the best whiskey on the island! Once nestled into the comfort of the pub, a true authentic heritage bar, we will sit, get acquainted and we will chat through Irish pub culture and its history before we start sampling. From here we meet our whiskies - 6 in total. Our 6 Premium Irish Whiskey selection takes into consideration the true new artisan distillery's of Ireland as well as the bigger pot still whiskey makers that have stood the test of time! Now you can taste Irish whiskey like local whiskey fanatics do! We will then dive into Irish whiskey history, various styles of our spirit and the story behind each brand, all the while discussing the sensory overload delivered by each glass.. Beautiful aroma, amazing intense flavours and the finish on each drop. Slainte

Fantastic fun and informative for everyone

We booked this experience as a large group of friends who got together for a 40th birthday and had a brilliant time. The group was a mix of whiskey connoisseurs and those of us who would have previously described whiskey as "burning and unpleasant" however we all loved this experience. We learned so much about whiskey (the process, history, business, etc) and laughed so much; Derek was great craic and a knowledgeable host. We all also ended up trying all of the whiskeys and dare I say it, even...read more

Great tasting!

We throughly enjoyed our guided tasting in Galway at MP Walsh with Derek. His obvious extensive knowledge of the history and distillation process of whiskey and outgoing personality make him a gracious host, I highly recommend this program.

Exceptional Irish Whiskey Experience with One of Ireland’s Finest Experts

We booked Derek for a stag. Derek’s Irish whiskey tasting was exceptional. His knowledge of both the Irish and global whiskey scene is deep, current and genuinely impressive, yet he makes it accessible whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned enthusiast. This was far more than a lecture. Derek created an engaging, interactive experience, with open conversation, thoughtful back-and-forth and room for every question. Whatever was put to him, he answered with ease, drawing on history, cul...read more
