Adventure towards the historical drinking hubs of Dublin social life, and experiment with some of Irelands finest whiskies. Highlights A walk through Dublins rich pub heritage accompanied by some of Ireland's finest whiskies. Visit three historical pubs Learn about the social culture of drinking in Dublin Sample five tasting whiskies Irish whiskey dates back more than 1,000 years, when Irish monks began making their own “uisce beatha”. In 1608, The Old Bushmills Distillery in Co Antrim became Ireland first licensed distillery. By the middle of the 18th century, there were more than 1,000 registered distilleries in Ireland, as demand for whiskey reached saturation levels. In the 19th century, Irish whiskey sales were badly hit by the Temperance movement and the Great Famine. Whiskey exports thrived, however, and America, in particular, was fast falling in love with the smooth nectar from the ould sod. In the early 20th century, Ireland was fighting a War of Independence, and Irish whiskey became a major casualty. Prohibition in the US also badly hit exports. Scottish distillers were quick to seize the opportunity, and Scotch soon overtook Irish as the world’s favorite whiskey. In 1987, John Teeling launched Cooley Distillery, the first independent distillery in 100 years, marking the beginning of a renaissance for Irish whiskey. Irish whiskey is now the fastest-growing premium spirit category in the world, and Whiskey tourism is growing in Ireland, too, with 814,000 people visiting Irish whiskey attractions in 2017. We built this tour because it invites travelers to sample a range of iconic whiskies in the heart of Dublin.
