The personal tour in English is informative and also allows individual questions. The group I used was manageable and everyone could see everything. However, due to the personal tour, there were time constraints, so you might have to wait 30 minutes to take the tour. It is therefore advisable to appear there at 2 or 3 p.m., so that you still have enough climb for the evening. Or are there whiskey drinkers before noon?

I was little enthusiastic about visiting the Jameson Distillery a few years ago without knowing the reason for it. So this time I chose the Teeling Distillery and was enthusiastic from the first minute of the tour. In contrast to the Jameson Distillery, the Teeling Distillery provides a very good insight into the production and distribution of the whiskey. Photographing and filming is permitted at any time and in any place and is also desired. The tour is accompanied by a guide (in our case by the extremely nice and competent Michelle). It is possible to ask the guide questions at any time. We decided on the "small tour" (around € 17). In addition to a glass of whiskey, a cocktail is included in the price. This variant is recommended for everyone who is not very familiar with whiskey or who wants to try out the taste first. At the end of the tour you will also learn the recipe of the delicious cocktail to imitate.

Distilled in excellence

Teeling is one of my favorite whiskies, and this tour affirmed it. John Teeling came out and greeted us before we moved to the next room to observe the process of making whisky. Kathy was our tour guide and she was delightful and very knowledgeable. The tour was fairly short, which was good because it left plenty of time to sample the whiskies. I bought the Spirit of Dublin pass, so I sampled four whiskies in total. Totally worth it!
