What the day feels like
What the afternoon feels like
The trail moves at a deliberate, intimate pace: executive transport collects your private party from your hotel and transfers you through the city to the Liberties. Hosts lead focused, non‑repetitive visits and tastings at three distilleries—starting with a hands‑on cocktail workshop, continuing through a cathedral‑set distillery and ending with a polished bar tasting—interwoven with commentary on Dublin’s whiskey districts and the city landmarks you pass.
