    Absolute best tour in Dublin. Mark (Marc?) was a fantastic tour guide, shared very interesting facts about the distilling process, Irish whiskey history, and Ireland in general. I would highly recommend taking the Teeling tour over Jameson or Guinness….distilling is just knowing how to make bad beer anyway. Plus, the whiskey is outstanding! Definitely do the whiskey flight tasting at the end.

    The tour was very good. Really nice tour guide and a lot of information about the distilling process. You get to visit an actual working distillery and not just an exhibition. The tasting was fun and the whiskeys delicious. A must-do in Dublin for whiskey lovers and fans! I would really recommend booking the tour with the three whiskeys.

    We didn't really know what to expect entering the distillery, after booking last minute, but considering it was a fully guided distillery tour a lot cheaper compared to others we were completely blown away. All thanks to the energetic and knowledgeable guide Marc! Such an engaging tour, the whole distillery and bar was spotless. We went for the whiskey and cocktail tasting option and wow both the Small Batch and Summed Iced Tea cocktail were delicious. We finished by having an extra cocktail in the bar - loved it! Would recommend if you're visiting the area. We're big fans of Tilling Whisky now and had to buy a bottle to enjoy at home! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Had an incredible tour, expertly led by the knowledgable and witty Lorien. Whiskey’s lovely and gorgeous cocktails. The tour was super interesting and informative. The building itself is lovely, and the Lego model of the building was so cool! Love our bottle of whiskey with our names on it! 10/10 tour and tasting.

    What a great tour. Long enough to be worth the price. Informative. Interesting. And best of all, a tasting at the end with helpful information as to the three types of whisky. And a very nice cocktail. Very nice! Well worth the experience and I am saying that as a non-whisky drinker.

    Teeling makes some very good whiskey and I really enjoyed the tasting. The blackpitts whiskey was especially good. The bar/tasting room is a very cool space. The tour itself was interesting but covers a lot of the same ground as any other distillery tour in Dublin.

    Great experience! Learned a lot from the really enthusiastic tour guide. The whiskey tasting with the cocktail at the end was great as well and got a few ideas for cocktails! Cocktails are around €12 each and are small but prices are expected. Staff are really useful and friendly and definitely recommend if you’re in Dublin!

    Brilliant introduction to the whiskey trade in Dublin and a very informative tour. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Whiskey tasting was a highlight of course, topping off with a surprise visit from John Teeling himself. Definitely worth a visit!

    Nice tour, great whiskey and friendly and helpful staff. It's a good way to spend an hour. My only feedback would be to add a bit more depth to the section that documents the history of Dublin whiskey.

    Lovely Whiskey Distillery, we booked a tour and a tasting, the tour was amazing, our guide tell all about whiskey. Nice to see a working distillery, all these nice views and this lovely smell everywhere. Amazing gift shop, so many teeling stuff, you Cann bottle your own whiskey, you can buy a distillery exclusive edition with own name label Beware on the gift shop is only possible to pay with card, cash will be not accepted.

    Marc was an awesome tour guide. The whiskey was great as well. Totally would recommend the Irish coffee at their bar. Bartenders were friendly and recommended good near by restaurants. Great experience!

  • 5/5 Howard H. 4 months ago on Google
    This distillery tour is a great addition to any visit to Dublin. Sophie did a great job of explaining the distillation process, as well as what to expect from the 4 drink samples that came with our tour. The samples provide a nice introduction to the different styles of irish whiskey.

  • 5/5 Lynne I. 6 months ago on Google
    Marc was a fantastic guide through the history of Irish whiskey and the Teeling Distillery. He was hilarious, knowledgeable, and absolutely loved his job. The tour was fun and not too long, and it ended with a wonderful tasting. Much fun, highly recommend.

    Don't hesitate, come for a tour to Teeling, So good Tour! Jamie was an incredibly good guide. He was careful to make sure our questions were answered and was clear about how the whiskey production process works. We bought the Teeling Tour and then it included a whiskey and a cocktail. I, who just learned to drink whiskey, really appreciated this cocktail. Jamie greeted us that we could take the time we needed to finish our glasses, much appreciated.

  • 4/5 Andrew P. 6 months ago on Google
    Wait until the airport to purchase any bottles of whiskey. They are 25 - 30% cheaper at the airport than at the distillery. Great tour! Mark was very informative and hilarious. Enjoyed learning the process and seeing the actual distillery where they make all the whiskey (unlike the Jameson tour). Would recommend the tour.

  • 5/5 Gabriella K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very informative. Started a bit late. Good pricing for tasting. Great variety in tasting options because I do not care for whiskey that much so the cocktail option was 🙌🏾. I had alot of fun. You don't need alot of time here outside of the tour but their cocktails are fun and refreshing too. I think I had the summer punch or something. I love how they actually let you touch feel things and see inside many of the containers that are part of this tour. I've done many distillery and wine tours and this was exceptional.

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 9 months ago on Google
    This is the best distillery tour by far in Dublin. Fantastic history and a look into the mechanics of whiskey making. Top that off with the best whiskey tasting and the largest portions. I'd do it again in a heartbeat and twice every Sunday if I could. Can't recommend enough.

  • 5/5 Edith J. 1 year ago on Google
    What a cool place. Very contemporary and a fun way to spend the day. I really enjoyed the whiskey itself - smooth - and the cocktails (don’t miss the Irish coffee). Thank you especially to Stephen for the tour.

  • 4/5 Monty E. 6 months ago on Google
    I'm new in the world of whiskey, still getting to learn how to drink it, and here, just like at their rival, they teach you how to approach it and appreciate it. I decided to go for the one taste and mix drink, both were delicious, the enthusiasm of our host Rory aka Peter has a lot to do with the experience given here, overall we had a great time and enjoyed the tour. I also like the logo.

  • 3/5 Diego A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good tour, in the real, active distillery. I appreciated the good quantity of information and the little bracelet as a gift. Guide with 0 passion, I was almost ignored in the tasting. I even didn't have time to see the distillation part.

  • 5/5 Ignacio C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent experience. Went during Covid, and the organization is perfect. You can enjoy a walking tour, we’re you’ll have the step by step of how they do the whiskey. At the entrance, before the walking tour, there are some images and exclusive bottles in exhibition. After the tour, depending on the ticket you bought, you’ll have some whiskey tasting (I had three different types of whiskey), very well explained the difference between them, and you can enjoy afterwards in the “Bang Bang Bar”, just by the gift shop.

  • 5/5 Wilson L. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a super cool visit! We got to go on a tour and had a great time learning about how Teeling came to be. The whiskey is absolutely delicious, the staff are incredibly nice and informative. I can't wait to come back again for a visit in the future, I super recommend checking out this distillery.

  • 5/5 Claire Marie C. 2 years ago on Google
    One of our favorite places to visit! We hadn't been in a good while and decided to bring the kids. Enjoyed the select tasting and the wonders of wood as a bonus. Guided tour is very informative but short enough for kids to follow along. We finished with Irish coffees, a visit to the shop to bring another bottle home and well deserved treats in the Phoenix café.

  • 4/5 Lana S. 2 years ago on Google
    I am happy I didn't skipped this one. Tour is short but informative, the design of everything is outstanding, and distillery limited tasting is a great feature to experience. Loved it overall

  • 5/5 James T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tour, good information and friendly staff. Tried multiple whiskey in the tasting area. Worth the $$$ for the education and experience.

  • 5/5 Drew T. 2 years ago on Google
    Whiskey fans need to check out. Learn some history about Dublin whiskey. Taste some wonderful cocktails made with the whiskey.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tour, really interesting to find out how whiskey is made and the history of it in Ireland. Best part was the tasting at the end of the tour!

  • 5/5 Giusi A. 2 years ago on Google
    A small distillery but very well organized tour. The staff was very friendly and very well prepared to answer all the questions we had, and we also got to meet the lovely Mister Teeling who told us about the history of the Distillery and some interesting facts about whiskey. The expert who guided us through the tasting was brilliant and the whiskey was delicious. The bar at the end of the tour is very nice and relaxing.

    Went there with my parents. Amazing experience, great explanations, really engaging guides. The employees from the gift shop were lovely and helpful. (Especially Shelvy, Super kind and Professional).

  • 5/5 anthony t. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a memorable experience. Managed to meet the predecessors of Mr John Teeling and himself. An experience I will cherish all my life

  • 5/5 Mark G. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a really enjoyable experience. While the interaction with the tour team was limited due to covid restrictions it was still a very interesting place. Conor,Gavin and Cormac were all very engaging with the groups answering questions with humour and enthusiasm. The tasting itself was very nice and educational.

👍👍 Had a magical time learning about the history of Gaelic games, the cultural importance and the community spirit around it. It was heaps of fun trying the games for ourselves too. Coaches organised the sessions very well and I will definitely come back with a big group for another round!
