Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

A stylish, design-led tour with hands-on cocktail-making that feels fresher and more contemporary than the older distillery brands.
Not independently verified — estimated
Set in a former Guinness power station, the building itself is a striking, design-conscious venue.
Not independently verified — estimated
It's a new brand with no heritage that leans on slick experience design over history, and the cocktail focus won't suit whiskey purists.
