About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Kinzer10 contributionsFabulous whiskey tour and tastingFabulous experience with Tiernan on November 9! We met at Lincoln’s Inn and started out with a wonderful Whiskey from Dublin. We paired the whiskey with delicious cheddar cheese, chocolate, fresh raspberries and strawberries, chutney and crackers. We then tried an additional two whiskies before moving on to the Palace Bar. Tiernan’s commentary was informative, interesting and filled with fun facts. The time passed quickly and we all had a fabulous time. A+ experience and wonderful whiskey tasting experience!!Written 9 November 2024
- W6682RZmarkt0 contributionsInformative and relaxedTiernan was a fantastic guide for our group. Relaxed paced, very informative with lots of history, no pressure to like one over another (or to drink much at all), and open to any type of question. Great experience all round and converted a view of the group who didn't really like whiskey prior.Written 17 September 2024
- 289claryl0 contributionsRecommend thisIt was very educational and we came from Scotland, so Tiernan had good banter! The whiskey did burn my throat a little bit but it was my first time trying it.Written 28 July 2024
- U7167CEmollyl0 contributionsWonderful AfternoonMy husband and I booked in for his birthday weekend and had a wonderful afternoon with Tiernan! We live in Dublin and have done a few whiskey tours elsewhere, but we still learned so much from the experience. It ended up being just the two of us which allowed us to ask all the questions we wanted. Tiernan was a gracious host and was so knowledgable, you could tell he really enjoys what he does. The whiskeys chosen paired so nicely with the delicious local cheeses and chocolates, and it was a great atmosphere, spending the tasting in 2 of Dublin's historic pubs. I'd recommend this tour to anyone!Written 9 April 2024
- Wander291773621360 contributionsAwesome tourTiernan was terrific!! Very knowledgeable, great guide, answered all our questions! We had the place to ourselves which was very funWritten 8 March 2024
- 822anne0 contributionsAwesome tasting experience!Tiernan did a fantastic job with our tour. We tasted 5 delicious whiskeys and learned a lot about Irish whiskey in general. Tiernan had a lot of knowledge and answered our questions, and managed the group dynamic very well. Would recocmmend!Written 22 December 2023
- F6378NHvaleries0 contributionsGreat tour and intro to new whiskeys for beginners through advancedGreat tour and information on the Whiskey. The first bar was a bit loud so it was hard to hear at times. Id also suggest eating a light meal beforehand because the food served is more about pairing tastes than filling you up.Written 16 November 2023
- 557davey0 contributionsGreat tourGreat tour, two hours flew by and the guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about whiskey. Setup was efficient, three rounds of whiskey at one pub, then a 10-min walk to another pub for two more. Only 5 people in the group so lots of time for questions and discussion. Would recommend.Written 27 October 2023
- E755VOkatej0 contributionsWould totally recommendThere was meant to be four of us, but the other couple never showed so it was just our guide (Tiernan) and us. We had a fun evening! Tiernan had so much great info and knew the answers to all our questions, and it makes a big difference to talk to someone who seems to actually like being there with you. We enjoyed all five of the whiskies we tried and had a nice time chatting. It was our last night in Dublin and we thought it was a nice way to round out the trip.Written 27 September 2023

All the tour was astonishing, Rachelle our guide showed good knowledge of whiskey though was very helpful at the same time funny and friendly
Irish whiskey is not very known where i come from, so the experience was positively surprising , and new (to us) brands are worth to try.
Hospitality and friendly spirit of the Irish people in general are everywhere.
Chats between the participants (small group of 10 persons) from Canada, South America, Usa, Australia. and Lebanon make the experience more interesting
Recommend to every person who likes whiskey and people
Thank you D W T

This was a blast. Andrew was a lot of fun and did a great job explaining the five whiskeys in an accessible way that both wasn't snobby and not condescending at all. I learned a lot about what I liked and that price doesn't necessarily correspond with preferences. The food pairings were all tasty and made a lot of sense in context of the drinks, and I just regret not eating even more of the cheese. The Premium (middle priced) tour was quite reasonable from a value standpoint, and I'm very glad we did this tour instead of taking the Jameson tour or something like that. Strong recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Whiskey and Food Tasting in Dublin. Our guide was very knowledgeable about whiskey and introduced us to Irish whiskeys that we were unfamiliar with—all very good. The food was tasty, too. It was an intimate group—just two couples, including us, which allowed for questions. We visited two pubs so we had a chance to see areas new to us in Dublin. Our guide was very personable, too. Highly recommend the tour—a good value and a pleasure not being with a large group of tourists. We live in Northern Ireland and go to Dublin regularly, so we plan to take the tour again!

We really enjoyed the Premium Whiskey and Food Tasting in Dublin with Tiernan. The whiskey drinkers in the group really enjoyed learning the history, the process of how it's made and the opportunity to try several different kinds. The rest of us gained a new appreciation for Irish Whiskey, the opportunity to try several kinds and the food pairing. It was also fun to visit several different pubs that we typically wouldn't have found on our own. We had a really fun afternoon.

We attended the whiskey tour on July 5 and it was one of the highlights of our vacation in Ireland. The whiskeys selected for our tasting were all excellent and we learned a lot about what to look for and taste. There were three couples on our particular tasting. Two couples had much experience tasting Irish Whiskey, while we had none. We got along well and everyone had a great time. After we got back from our trip, we found that this experience was the one that most people wanted to talk about. It also helped us decide on gifts to bring back from Ireland. I highly recommend this experience for both newbies (like us) and experienced drinkers.

I'm a whiskey novice & prefer vodka still, but this tour was really interesting. The guide, Tiernan, was well-informed & very good at sharing his knowledge.
We tried 3 whiskeys at the 1st stop & 2 others at the 2nd. At the first stop, we also had cheese & chocolates to taste along with the whiskey to see how it enhanced or changed the flavor, but it wasn't really a pairing lime you'd see with a wine tasting (which is perfectly fine, just a different experience so don't expect true pairings).
My group ended up just being 3 of us so it was almost like a private guide, which was great, but I think works still be a good experience with a slightly larger group.
Definitely recommend if you want to learn about Irish whiskey

Excellent tour! Our guide Niall was very knowledgeable and also made the tasting whiskey accessible to novices. Great selection of whiskeys, interesting bars, and fab food combinations. Felt like the way to learn about Irish whiskey properly whilst being very entertaining. Even bought one of the whiskeys home with me! Highly recommended.

What an informative and totally pleasurable afternoon we spent with Andrew learning the nuances of Irish whiskey. Particularly interesting was the pairing of whiskey with cheese, fruit and chocolate and the changes in the taste of the whiskey that occurred. Andrew is a true scholar of all things whiskey and gaining his perspective on the history of Irish whiskey was of further interest. I highly recommend an afternoon with this extremely personable and sometimes even quite humorous host! The whiskey choices were of high quality and the private areas in two historic pubs were excellent venues to taste these delicious selections.

We have really enjoyed Dublin whiskey tour from the start till the end. Andrew gave us an amazing tour of whiskeys with explanations and details. We also explored the combinations of whiskeys with particular food that we enjoyed very much as well. I highly recommend this experience and there's no doubt that Andrew is absolutely knowledgeable and a great guide!!

Wonderful experience learning about how Irish whiskey is made and how it pairs with different cheeses and treats. Tiernan was an excellent guide into the world of Irish whiskey and taught us how to embrace the burn. It was also wonderful to visit the different historical Dublin pubs.
