Overview

A whiskey tasting for all nationalities and all interest levels. You don’t have to be a connoisseur to enjoy and appreciate it!
At our tutored tastings, we showcase our favourite Irish whiskeys, especially the small batch and hard to find whiskeys from all over the country. The whiskeys we pour, complement the story we tell – the incredible story of Irish whiskey through the ages.
Our small team of Whiskey Specialist Hosts deliver tastings of all sizes here in Ireland, and overseas. We’re tourism people, and we’re whiskey people. Most recently we’ve become ‘Icons of Whisky’! (World Whisky Awards 2025). We deliver relaxed tastings for small groups, max 15 people, it pairs nicely with any distillery visit you do separately. We love questions and our sessions will always turn into a chat, it’s not just us doing the talking! We deliver the tastings in a private space at a central Dublin venue - 'The Snug' at McGrattans Bar at 3pm daily.

What's Included

  • Alcoholic beverages 6 - part whiskey tasting. A wide variety of styles and brands from all over Ireland
  • Whiskey Specialist Host to deliver a fully tutored tasting
  • All Fees and Taxes

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
