How whiskey tasting works

What Happens at a whiskey tasting?

Irish whiskey tasting

You will be guided through your whiskey tasting experience by your host, Ex-Powers and Brown Forman's Slane Distillery brand ambassador Derek King. Derek will welcome you to be the tasting with an introductory drink of Jameson Ginger and Lime. This reliable whiskey cocktail, known the world over as Jameson's signature serve, will serve as a great start to your experience.

Having enjoyed your welcome drink, your tasting experience will then begin in earnest. It starts with the introduction to six of Ireland's finest drops from brands such Bushmills, Glendalough, Jameson, Powers, Redbreast, Slane, Teeling and many more depending on the package you have chosen for your tasting. Together with your host you will dive into the history of the whiskeys, learn the backstory of the distillery. You will gain an understanding of the various styles of the spirits on offer and what makes them different and unique to each other all whilst discussing the sensory overload delivered by each different glass.

Wonderful experience, a must for anyone visiting Ireland The experience was exceptional as Derek hosted us in a very authentic Irish pub and was extremely knowledgeable about whiskey. It was also great to be able to speak generally with a local about all things Ireland / Dublin. I would highly recommend for any visitor to Ireland.

I booked this tour for a couple of friends that were visiting me in Dublin for a few days. I wanted to show them what Dublin and the pubs were all about. I have to say this tour delivered this in abundance ! The drinks and whiskey were all top notch. Some of the brand we were familiar with, some of the other brands smaller bespoke distilleries that were great to learn about the insider knowledge. The location was the Swan Bar, a real authentic pub in Dublin.....
