SPIRIT OF DUBLIN Private Tour and Premium Whisky Tasting

This experience offers an exclusively private tour experience delivered by a very knowledgeable Teeling brand ambassador, followed by a private tasting of whiskey which can only be tasted in the distillery. The experience finishes with the opportunity to fill your own bottle of whiskey direct from the cask, for which you can then personalise the label for as a unique, meaningful memento of your trip.

Few names are more firmly embedded in Irish whiskey than Teeling. Walter Teeling got into the Dublin whiskey business by starting a distillery in 1782, and the Cooley Distillery itself was founded by John Teeling in 1987, when he converted an old potato alcohol plant into a whiskey distillery.

Teeling is forging the way for the revival of Irish whiskey in its historic home.The distillery is fully operational and the true home of Teeling Whiskey. Visitors can experience the sights, sounds smells and tastes of a fully operational distillery in action, on a guided tour finished with a guided tasting.
