Customer Reviews
We really enjoyed our whiskey and Poitin experience. It was great to hear about the history of the family and get to taste some of their products. Great set up for the tour and tasting, the lady running our session was very friendly and knowledgeable.
It was a great experience! An intimate and inviting atmosphere, our tour guide, Michael was super knowledgeable and fun. The gin is one of my favorites from Micil, we even bought a bottle! I would do the tour again and recommend for both whiskey and non-whiskey lovers.
Absolutely brilliant tasting and very informative! Aoife made the experience exceptional and obviously the whiskey/ Poitin/ gin was amazing. Highly recommended!
