The meeting point for The Dublin Whiskey Story by Whiskey Island Tours is at the James Fox Cigar & Whiskey shop at 119 Grafton Street in Dublin City centre.
The shop has a very central location, just across the road from the front gates of Trinity College. Your Whiskey Island Tours host, a whiskey specialist, will meet you here. Next door is the first stop of the tour, The Irish Whiskey Museum, a very fitting introduction to Irish Whiskey. Enjoy the captivating anecdotes of storytellers as they take you on a journey through the ages revealing the origins of Irish whiskey, its rise to glory, dramatic downfall, and current global revival. Tasting of three quintessential Irish whiskeys is included at the end of the tour in the bar.
Afterwards, there is a short journey on foot to a famous Dublin pub where you will sample several whiskeys that would be widely regarded as among the best Irish whiskeys that money can buy. This tour is ideal for the whiskey aficionado who may already know the Jameson brand, and now want to discover some of the other delicious whiskeys that may be unfamiliar to them. The tour finishes in the Celtic Whiskey Shop, where you will have a parting glass at the store with time to browse and optionally make any further purchases, for which your host will gladly offer any advice needed.
