Derek looked after my group when we visited Dublin just a few weeks ago in January. We were honestly blown away by his Irish Whiskey knowledge, enthusiasm, attention to detail and his professional but relaxed manner. We booked a tasting experience with him based on a solid recommendation from a friend and I can honestly say that it was even more enjoyable (and tasty) than expected. When I’m back in Dublin with another group, we would love to see Derek again. 100% would recommend Experience Irish Whiskey 🥃 Sláinte 🥃

Derek is such an incredible guide! He knows so much about whiskey, has a passion for it, and is really great at explaining things to less knowledgeable people. The tasting took place in a heritage pub in Dublin, and we all really enjoyed the experience and the setting! If you have a couple of hours, want to have fun, and also get a good understanding of this popular Irish drink, then search no further! This is a must do for you!

From start to finish Derek was energetic and had a wealth of whiskey knowledge like no one i have met before.
I have been to a number of whiskey tasting experiences in the past but none come close.
Derek has pure passion for whiskey and brings you through the whiskey story connected to each brand but also adds in some history. Highly recommend for anyone interested in having a real whiskey experience.

Fun, interactive and informative!! A staff evening where we learned everything about Irish whiskey and plenty of fun along the way.
Great experience shows in the delivery!

Derek provided myself and my whiskey club one of the best whiskey tastings we’ve done to date, his knowledge and enthusiasm (and fashion sense) is second to none and does whatever brand he represents a huge service.
A world class brand ambassador I continue to turn to for advice and guidance in the wonderful world of whiskey.

I have been to a few of Derek King’s tastings over the past few years.
Each tasting was professionally delivered, with quality information regarding the whiskeys we were tasting.
Covid years were a challenge, but Derek also showed his capabilities when it came to online tastings. So if you have members/staff who are remote, online is also a great option.
It was obvious that a lot pf time and effort went into presentation and preparation, the tastings are thoroughly thought out with a high attention to detail.
On top of all that, Derek looks and behaves the part, he knows how to work a room and make the tasting inclusive.
Highly recommended.
