Great tour, much better than the Guinness Tour

The tour of the Midleton Distillery was great! Aiden was our tour guide and he was so informative and thorough. He knew how all of it worked, and even answers to specific questions myself and guests had. This tour was 100x better than the Guinness Tour, as that tour it all gimmicky, but this tour is really about how it works, why it matters, and what impact it has had on the whiskey industry. The tour lasts about an hour or so, depending how fast your group walks. We also did the premium whiskey tasting, and they detail everything; how to taste properly, what you can smell, what you should taste, how it feels going down, etc. I would highly recommend this tour on a trip to Ireland!

A wonderful whiskey experience

It was a wonderful whiskey experience. We had booked the "Behind the Scenes" tour. This included a tour of the historic distillery as well as a tasting of a total of four whiskeys. With the small group of guests from the USA and Germany, the tour was passionate and personal. We can recommend the tour without reservation.

Great history

Jill (Jillian) was a very good guide. At ease, knowledgeable and creating space for questions whose answers she shared with the whole group

Not bad, but focused on the past rather than the present

A tour of the historical areas of the distillary rather then the operational areas, with a focus on how things used to be done rather than how they are done today. Very geared toward American tourists. A very different tour to what you get at Bushmills for example where you see production areas and people actually at work.
