Dublin Whiskey Tour: Jameson, Roe & Co, Teeling Tastings

You make one of the cocktails yourself at Roe & Co, then taste whiskey straight from the cask at Jameson.

A four-hour Dublin whiskey tour visits Jameson Distillery Bow St., Roe & Co and Teeling Whiskey Distillery with a specialist host, private Mercedes transport and hotel pickup. You'll make a cocktail at Roe & Co, draw and taste rare cask-strength Jameson from the maturation warehouse at Bow St., and taste three expressions at Teeling's private tasting. The itinerary mixes shared group experiences with private tastings, and the host fills in the gaps on Irish whiskey production and history throughout.

The experience

Four hours is the window for this afternoon tour, timed between lunch and dinner. You get picked up at your Dublin hotel in a private Mercedes, and the specialist host meets you there. Someone who knows the Irish whiskey scene and can talk you through what makes it different from Bourbon, Scotch or Japanese whiskey. The route moves through three distilleries, each one a different kind of stop.

At Roe & Co in the Liberties neighbourhood, you're part of a small group for the Flavours Experience: you make one whiskey cocktail yourself, then taste two Roe expressions. The Liberties is the old heart of Dublin's whiskey and beer trade, and the host will tell you why it matters. From there you head to Jameson Distillery Bow St., where the real draw happens, literally. You enter the maturation warehouse onsite and pull a cask, then taste the rare 18-year-old Jameson cask-strength whiskey straight from it. This is the shared experience, but it's the one people remember. At Teeling, the newest distillery on the trail, you walk the distillery floor to see how they work, then move to the bar for a private tasting of three different Teeling expressions: Small Batch, Single Grain and Single Pot Still.

The host is there the whole time, filling in what each stop doesn't cover on its own: the history, the process, the reason Irish whiskey tastes the way it does. You're not following a script. The tour adjusts to what you want to know. Weather doesn't stop it, and the tour runs year-round.

Top questions

What exactly do I taste at each distillery on this Dublin whiskey tour?

At Roe & Co you make and taste two Roe whiskey cocktails; at Jameson you draw and taste rare 18-year-old cask-strength whiskey straight from the barrel in the maturation warehouse; at Teeling you taste three expressions (Small Batch, Single Grain and Single Pot Still) in a private tasting at the bar.

Does the tour include lunch, or should I eat before we start?

Lunch is not part of this tour, so plan to eat before pickup or after the tour ends. The four-hour window runs between lunch and dinner, so timing your meal around the schedule works well.

How many people will be on this tour with me?

A maximum of 15 people per booking, and the group stays small at each stop. Some experiences (like the Roe & Co cocktail making) are shared small-group sessions, while the Teeling tasting is private to your group.

What is a cask draw, and why is it special at Jameson?

A cask draw means you physically pull a sample of whiskey straight from a barrel in Jameson's maturation warehouse onsite at Bow St., then taste it immediately. It's rare to get access to the warehouse itself and to taste cask-strength whiskey this way: most visitors only see the visitor centre.

Is there a minimum age, and what if I don't drink alcohol?

The minimum age is 18 years. The tour is built around tastings, so if you don't drink, this particular experience won't suit you, but the host can discuss the process and history even if you're not tasting.
