Book an experience, private whiskey tours, golf & whiskey, private whiskey tastings, looking to book a bespoke experience, unique tours & tastings at all of ireland's whiskey distilleries, ireland - the world's hottest new whiskey destination.
In 2024, there are over 70 distilleries and brand homes on the island of Ireland. Many are open, the rest are work-in-progress. Most of these ‘whiskey stops’ are fully operational distilleries and they are dotted all over the country, often taking you off the beaten tourism path.
Whiskey Island has access to all of these whiskey stops. We operate as a full-service whiskey tour company and we create and operate bespoke whiskey trails for our guests. We carefully blend (pun intended!) a selection of memorable whiskey experiences on our trails with the best of Ireland along the way.

Meet John and John (Junior & Senior). We’re a father and son duo and we both have a wealth of experience between us, especially in the whiskey tourism domain.
We share the same pride in this country and we have a particular grá (Gaelic for love) for Irish whiskey tourism, an industry that has been good to us over our combined 40 years’ experience. We’re glad to say our name is synonymous with premium whiskey experiences in Irish tourism circles, so much so that we formed Whiskey Island.

How It Started
Our journey.
The Irish Whiskey Museum opened its doors to whiskey lovers from across the world in 2014. We tell the complete and unbiased history of Irish whiskey and its importance in Ireland’s turbulent past. Housed in a historic building in the city center, the museum is comprised of an extensive whiskey bar, historic exhibits, a tasting room, and a retail area filled with whiskey and souvenirs. We work with over 30 whiskey brands across Ireland and Northern Ireland, portraying the different distillation methods and styles of whiskey.
There's something for everyone
Guided tours, independent of all brands, central location, plan your visit, in the heart of dublin.
Listen, learn and laugh during guided tours of the Museum. Walk throughout the building where each of the 4 different rooms represents a different period in Irish history. Finish the tour by becoming a true whiskey expert with a tasting of three or four different Irish whiskeys. Other tours, such as the Whiskey Blending Experience and the Irish Coffee Masterclass experience, are also available. Or visit our shop and speak to one of our whiskey experts and find the perfect whiskey for you!

A glimpse of 'The Irish Whiskey Museum'
A glimpse of ‘the irish whiskey museum', excellent reviews, what our customers have to say.
“One of the best experiences that was very personalized. Both our tour guide and people behind the bar were passionate about what they do. They were also more than welcome to fill us in on the history behind Irish coffee or whiskey we had after.”
“Great comprehensive tour, not a fan of whiskey and I still recommend highly! Briain was extremely knowledgeable, personable and funny. Great to pair with other tastings in Dublin.”
Katina Vosinas
“The deluxe tour was a great experience. Amazing value for money and Ellen was a brilliant host!”
