Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing selection of many whiskeys from around the world as well as that horrible stuff from Scotland.
Cheese board was a bit plain and would have liked some more variation/ some more fruit. But very small gripe considering the awesome drinks!

Tried some great whiskies and learnt a lot. As others have said Alan knows his stuff and gave good detailed answers.
All in all I left knowing more about Irish whiskey (and about whisky in general as we tried some non-Irish whiskies as well) when I left than when I entered.
Highly recommended.

Family of 8 enjoyed the Whiskey and Farm Cheese experience. Aaron was our host, and did a great job of interacting and explaning each whiskey and the cheese pairing. Never would have thought goat cheese pairs so well with whiskey! Oh, and be sure to grab a bit to eat as well. The ribeye with the Whiskey Sauce was a favorite of the entire trip!

Great place for a light and tasty meal but most of all for tasting a wide selection of whiskies.
Wonderful staff will take care of your every need.
If you are uncertain about the whisky best suited for yourself, schedule a whisky tasting class and they’ll help you find your special whisky.
I’ve gone there five years in a row and am never disappointed. 👍🥃

Really enjoyed this and sampling the whiskeys. Really quick (1 hour long) with good background on the history and production process of Irish whiskey. Lots of good ones as they have the largest stock of Irish Whiskey around

Really enjoyed the whiskey and chocolate pairing class. Staff were friendly and willing to answer any questions. The whiskeys included were a nice spectrum, pairing them with locally made chocolates was a nice touch. Reasonable priced for what is offered in the class. The only thing I could say that could be improved is the area where it is done is not as private.
But I will definitely recommend it to friends visiting Killarney and will be back myself to try even more whiskeys

Did the whiskey and chocolate tasting session; was great fun, good value for money for the amount of whiskey you get. A very enjoyable experience for a group of any size!

If one of us likes tastings and the other doesn't (I can't drink a beer without catching a buzz!), is the cost the same?
