Teeling Whiskey Distillery

Visited on a Sunday morning and really enjoyed our tour. We picked the €35 ticket and had 3 sample whiskey. Tour guide Marc was brilliant. Food and toilets available on site. After the tour and tasting we went to the bar and tried some other whiskeys, I really loved Wonders of Wood & the Japanese Edition which I purchased. Recommend visiting for a great tour, tasting and fun. Non alcoholic drinkers can avail of a cocktail.

My husband and I enjoyed the tour and tasting immensely. We really enjoyed learning the history of this distillery. Out of the tastings we have had in Dublin this was the best! We are still doing some travelling but will be buying Teeling at the airport to carry home.

Great tour at Teeling! It’s a little short, but overall the distillery is much smaller than the larger competitors such as Jameson. I think it’s worth it if you want something different! Our tour included 1 tasting sample and a cocktail. At the end of the tour, you can go sit in the bar and have a tasting and/cocktail which was super fun! I recommend booking a tour if you are into whiskey or just looking for something new to experience!

Signed up for the Teelings distillery tasting tour, the guide was fantastic and very personable. Had a great experience and really enjoyed the small batch short and whiskey cocktail in the bar at the end of the tour. Would have loved to buy something from the shop to take home but with the restrictions in place for liquids on planes I was unable to.

We were traveling with a group of friends from Texas and were lucky enough that one of us was related to the Teeling family, so this was a must for our visit to Dublin. We were greeted by the patriarch of the family who gave us a wonderful history of Teeling Irish Whiskey. Such a privilege to hear it from him. We then had a tour for our group led by one of the regular tour guides. Having been on many wine, beer and whiskey tours over the years, I can say with confidence that our guide was excellent. Great delivery, knowledgeable, loud enough. Like any good tour, it ended with a tasting that he also led. The tasting reinforced that I really don’t like Irish Whiskey at all (I prefer bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey), but that did not diminish the overall wonderful experience. Great store to take home all kinds of souvenirs, alcohol and non-alcohol items. It’s definitely worth a stop.

Just did the tour with Gary, he was a great guide - full of both good jokes and patience for my questions. Loved being able to see all the machinery up close, and learn more about the process. The history of whiskey in Dublin is interesting, now I want to find a book on the topic! Unrelated to the tour, coming from the US, I was blown away by how accessible the restroom was for wheelchair users!! I’m impressed by Teeling in so many ways.

Had a great visit to Teeling Whiskey Distillery, Marc our guide gave our group an interesting & funny introduction to Irish whiskey making & history. Taught us a few tricks of sampling whiskey too. Highly recommended 🥃

I had planned to go here well before my visit to Dublin. Very nice place with knowledgeable bartenders! We didn't have time for a tour, but did a flight at the Bang Bang Bar and the bartender did an excellent job of providing an overview of the Whiskies. Nice gift shop too.

We came on a walking tour and did the distillery tasting. One thing that was so disappointing was the person doing the distillery tour was not Irish. You hear some history, then see some vats and learn about the processing. Finally you do a tasting. He explained how to taste it and he was very correct. The cocktail they served was also good. We wrote our name on the wall for posterity.

Great tour! Definitely a lot smaller than Jameson, but way better quality of Irish whiskey. If you want more of a unique experience when checking out distilleries, check out Teeling! We weren't disappointed.

Outstanding tour and overall whiskey experience. If you love whiskey or just want to learn about the process this is the only working distillery in Dublin. You can see the kettles and the entire process. Jack was our guide and did a phenomenal job. I had never heard of Teeling until we were leaving in 10/23 and they were doing a tasting at the airport. Really happy we got to come back and visit their distillery as they do a phenomenal job. They allow a lot of time to take all the photos you want to make it as memorable as possible. Highly recommend this tour.

We scheduled a tour same day and opted for the tasting of single malt and a mixed drink. I loved the intimacy of the tour and the ability to actually be in the space where the whiskey was being produced. Our guide was wonderful - knowledgeable and more than happy to answer questions. Since this was a last minute schedule - we weren't expecting much, but we ended up loving our time there!

We were in Ireland for seven days and it only rained twice. Our Teeling Whiskey Distillery visit day was one of those days, but it didn't dampen our spirits. Pun intended. We had mapped out a path that allowed us to visit multiple sites and Teeling was one. It's in an area that feels more residential and for a little while we wondered if we were lost, but we turned a corner and saw the beautiful building. My husband is a huge whiskey fan and knows a lot. I'm not but I'm willing to go along for the ride and if something strikes my fancy, I'll give it a try. The building has some beautiful artwork, which we were told was local artists, so we took the time to enjoy it. They also had some nice stained glass to appreciate. It's a two story building with a cafe and tasting room on the ground floor. The upstairs had a large bar and a shop. We elected to go upstairs and sat in a comfy seating area with some chairs and a sofa with a coffee table. We ordered some drinks. My husband got a version of an old fashioned and I got a cucumber lime concoction made with a small batch whiskey. Both were really good. We took our time and enjoyed the cozy (and dry) environment but had a reservation so had to leave. This was a fun experience even for a non-whiskey drinker.

Teeling Distillery was an interesting find. While exploring the city while on the Hop On Hop off Bus we happened upon the building. We decided to come in a do a tour. The initial interaction started off on the wrong foot. The young lady wasn't listening and charged me for the wrong tasting. She didn't void the transaction and charged me again , this time for the correct tasting. I had to dispute the initial charge with my credit card company. ‍ Other than this the tour was informative and the tasting was good. I had the one whisky and seasonal cocktail. The seasonal cocktail did not disappoint. It was quite tasty. I would definitely recommend a visit to Teeling but not during St. Patty's Day festival. The lady seemed a bit overwhelmed by the amount of people.

Definitely recommend this experience! Our group staying in the Liberties, we weren't sure how to pick which nearby distillery to try but I'm very glad we picked this one. First of all, our tour guide Marc (Mark?) was OUTSTANDING and definitely the right man for the job. He had me captivated with describing Ireland's rich history with whiskey and kept us laughing as well. We learned a great deal and the distillery is beautifully set up. After the tour, we enjoyed cocktails from the bar, all of which were extremely delicious. I'm a big Teeling fan now!

Visited the Teeling Distillery's spacious bar. Nice, modern and open ambiance. Great place for a tasting. Sat at the bar and tried a Blackpitts cask strength. Wow! If you like smoke Scotch whiskies like Ardbeg and Lapraoig, you'll love Blackpitts cask strength. We loved it so much we bought a bottle to take home. Service: super friendly staff Overall cleanliness: excellent Misc: Nice gift shop

A really fun stop in Dublin to learn about Irish whiskey. We stopped here during our short stay in Dublin this fall for a tour. The tour had several options for tasting and we went with the premium version which included 4 separate whiskeys to taste at the end of the tour. The group was not overly large which made the tour feel really personal. We had a great tour of the facility, learning about how the whiskey is made and even more interestingly how it is aged in barrels. I'm not a big whiskey drinker myself but found the range of tastes quite interesting and learned how to breathe out the liquor vapors so the experience is not overwhelming. A really neat stop!

What a lovely distillery located in the Liberties neighborhood. We were staying at the ALoft and this is literally in the backyard of the hotel. I have been to so many distilleries that I decided to not take a tour. The tour prices seem fair online. The top floor has a gift shop and a bar area. The employees are all super friendly and nice. The gift shop has some neat gift ideas at fair prices. Whiskey: Black Pitts cask strength is what you need to get. I am a Scotland whisky fan and the only whiskey comparable is the Black Pitts. Note,: the airport duty free shop has some Teeling, but not the higher end better tasting whiskey such as Black Pitts.

Pretty cool spot to check out if Irish Whiskey is your thing. We had done a whiskey tasting a while ago back home that featured Teeling Whiskey, so we were already pretty familiar with it. It was nice to see the story and origin of Teeling and how Irish whiskey has recently made a resurgence. The tour is informative and shows you the behind the scenes of what goes on about making whiskey. The tour ends with a tasting (the tasting depends on which ticket you purchased, which we paid for the €20ish one). We also grabbed an Irish coffee from here, which was really delicious! They have gifts for you to buy here, but we opted out of it cause we only had carry-ons with us, and we weren't gonna be able to lug around bottles of whiskey.

Very modern design inside! Fairly open concept and feels super new! All sorts of options for whiskey to buy! There's a bar upstairs we went to upstairs and got the best Irish coffee I've ever had!

Very good Irish whiskey. There is a bar on the second floor that offers many tastes of their line up, as well as special cocktails. I really enjoyed the one made with coffee stout & whiskey, the Irish maid also very refreshing There is gift shop that offers personalized bottle of whiskey. You can put your name on the label.

I had a tasting at the bar, we did not do the tour, you can go to the bar and have cocktails or a tasting paddle without doing the full tour. You can also visit the gift shop and purchase whiskey or other items without doing the tour. Most of the hop on hop offs. Have a stop right outside of the distillery. Conveniently located. Overall, it was decent.

we found the whiskey while we were on the west coast of Ireland. We stopped at several pubs as we made across the country. We knew we had to visit the distillery once we arrived in Dublin. Fabulous tour with Clementine ! Very interesting and fun. The distiller, tour and tasting did not disappoint. We are looking forward to going again

Went for the distillery tour on a visit to Dublin and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was really fun to see the behind the scenes of how the whiskey is made, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and able to answer any questions posed. There are a few tasting options, I went for a cocktail and whiskey tasting but if I could go again I'd do all whiskey and compare the different kinds to one another.

Very cool place to learn about Dublin's newest distillery. While new, Teeling has deep roots in Irish Whiskey and it shows. Informative tour, tasty pours, and just an overall cool spot.

Just had a fantastic tour through the Teeling history, significant events, and the Irish whiskey distilling process. Marc did an amazing job and truly brought to life the ups and downs of the whiskey world including the Teeling family. Great facility and we had a wonderful time on our tour. A must-do when in Dublin!

Who knew I loved Irish whiskey so much?! Did the distillery select tasting tour and really enjoyed it! Love how the building is set up, enjoyed the bar too! Loved all the whiskey we tasted (except for the Smokey one-but I don't like scotch or mezcal so that's to be expected). Brian was our tour guide and we really had a great time with him.

These Texans enjoyed the Teeling Trinity Tasting with Herve! Our consensus favorite was the Single Grain. Delicious!

A brief but fairly interesting tour, led by a guide who was hungover and grouchy but knowledgeable. We paid extra for a full whisky tasting (four samples) that was awkwardly organized and again too brief. I get that this is a small, fairly new distillery, but for €35 the experience could have been a *lot* better.

We visited this distillery shortly after arriving in Dublin as our whiskey loving buddy could barely wait to get started. The distillery is beautiful with an upstairs tasting room and gift shop. Lots of low lighting and wood. Dark leather booths and plenty of table seating. Our whiskey lover got a tasting and the explanation and description of each by the bartender was one of the most in depth and informative tastings I've listened to. Most wine tasting descriptions we've been accustomed to in the states are pretty short and unimpressive. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails and I sampled one of the whiskeys from the flight that was corn based, tho the bartender did assure me that all of their whiskey is gluten free through the distilling process.. I've just never been brave enough to test that out! Perfect spot to grab drinks before dinner. Definitely recommended.

Great tour! Highly recommend. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and we learned a lot. We aren't whisky drinkers but tried the seasonal cocktail at the end it was really good

What a great tour we had with Cormac as our fearless and sassy leader. He made the tour flow seamlessly, added humor, and was really interesting and informative. This was my husband's activity of choice while in town but I may have enjoyed the tour even more than him! Loved learning more about the distilling process, history of local Irish whiskey, and what makes Irish whiskey different from Scottish or American. The tasting at the end was really informative as well. A few things that stood out to me during the tour were the extensive multi-step process for distilling, followed by the long maturation process (which is what makes it different from beer). Irish law mandates a 3 year minimum for maturation and Teeling aims for at least 6 years. The part that makes brands stand apart is the maturation process...how long and what types of barrels are used. Teeling used barrels that previously stored other boozes like bourbon, rum, wine, etc, which adds color and flavor. I also loved the inclusion of the owners' daughters with the stills being named after some and two original barrels of product in the vault for two others. Sweet story. At the end, we were brought to the tasting area. Even though my husband and I ordered different tasting experiences, they made sure we were together for the tasting. There are three options on tasting menu and all three include a common whiskey, which Cormac spoke about. He taught us about the "tears" left on the glass when you tip it, which show alcohol and grain content. So cool.

Friendly staff, great tour, beautiful tasting room. Elegant with a hipster vibe. Recommend making a reservation! They are busy even in the low tourism season. The tour groups are large so there is some interaction with guide but he is taking care of a lot of people. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and plenty of time to take pictures. The tasting room does have a small limited foos menu - looked like mostly snack food. I didn't try anything

I heard they had the best Irish coffee in Dublin so I have to come and I was highly impressed it was amazing. Fresh delicious cream topped with fresh grated nutmeg came here specifically for that then stayed for an additional cocktail the Irish Maid- super refreshing and delicious, my husband had the Newmarket fashioned and said it was quite delicious. Our bartender was super sweet and attentive. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching her expertly create high end cocktails. Thank you Aiveen! You were such a delight

This was a must see! Interesting, fun- and samples included We were lucky enough to have Gavin be the guide for our group today. He was so kind, knowledgeable and patient... his German was fantastic too! Thank you for such a memorable morning!

Teeling is still not a household name in American bars but their bottles are slowly becoming more common in retail stores here and have been included in several lists/articles on Irish whiskey lately. Since the distillery is right in the city center, we figured we can't miss out on the opportunity to do a bit of tasting. The lineup is excellent and the bar at the distillery has a great cocktail menu as well. Definitely recommend including it in your stop while in Dublin.

While on a visit to Ireland, I decided to check out the Teeling Distillery. I just finished a tour of the Jameson Distillery and they set a very high bar. Unfortunately, this experience didn't compare to the Jameson experience. Having said that, I did enjoy tasting 4 different Teeling whiskeys and I learned a little about Teeling whiskey.

What a beautiful building and great tour!!! Gary was our tour guide, and was very informative and patient with all our questions. The whiskeys are great, and it felt like a personal tour! Highly recommend.

My friend and I did a tour and a tasting at Teeling when we were in Dublin last week; it was spontaneous and I'm so glad we fit it in. The distillery was the first to open in Dublin in 125 years (the last of the original Dublin distilleries closed in 1976). The brothers who founded the distillery had an ancestor who owned a distillery in the Liberties area of Dublin in the 18th century (it was later bought by Jameson and closed in 1923). The tour was great; I learned a lot about whiskey, the history of Irish whiskey, and Teeling. (Most of the distilleries I've visited are bourbon distilleries, and so it so interesting to learn that Irish whiskey can be made in barrels that have been used for other distilling process, like madeira, rum, bourbon, and wine barrels!) And the tasting was great, too - turns out I like Irish whiskey! Definitely worth visiting if you're interesting in trying some locally distilled Irish whiskey - the distillery is a short walk from St. Patrick's Cathedral!

Tour... 8/10 Tasting... 10/10 Service... 9/10 This little stop was a nice way to see how whiskey has impacted Dublin and Ireland. Expect about 30 minutes for the tour and 20 for the tasting. While informative, the tour left some rooms for desires. We were provided both a cocktail and a shot to sample the whiskey options. Both tasted excellent, and we were provided instruction on how to ensure the burn didn't get too bad.

Stopped in for some cocktails and so glad we did. They were absolutely delicious. Staff was so kind. This place has a cool industrial vibe. Totally worth a stop in for a drink even if you don't take a tour.

Took the Teeling tour on 26 Aug 2024, great history information on whiskey distilled in Dublin. Gurene?;was funny and informative. I chose the three whiskey tasting. Each was different, and good. Recommended for anyone interested in whiskey.

We knew we wanted to visit a whiskey distillery while in Dublin, and after reading the reviews, we knew Teeling was our place. Our tour guide was Marc, and he did an exceptional job of teaching us all about the history and process of their product. Marc had a real passion for his job. The taste testing at the end of the tour was fun and delicious. We saddled up to the bar post tour for another cocktail and a flight. All for research purposes, of course. I would recommend staff not pour the cocktails out so early, as the ice melted and diluted the cocktail substantially. Not good. We couldn't find any Teelings merchandise we liked, so we were disappointed. Love their Phoenix mascot, but wasn't a fan of the shirts. Definitely worth a visit and a tour!

Great little in town distillery. Much more laid back but very welcoming and friendly staff. Enjoy a tour or just visit the tasting room and gift shop. We had a taster flight and bought some souvenirs. Definitely worth a visit if in town and thirsty for some local Irish whiskey

Excellent visit if you get the chance to come to Ireland. Excellent tour and the whiskey was amazing. Will definitely add a tour for the next time

Teeling distillery tour in Dublin, definitely another whiskey tour if you are interested. Interesting history of one of Dublins newest whiskey makers and some good whiskey tasting. Even got to purchased a personalized bottle as a momento (blurred my name for the photo)

Great tour! I have been to many distilleries in the US but the information on this tour taught me some things. We had a great experience with our tour guide Michael. The whiskeys were wonderful. I am a bourbon and Scotch fan and have had limited exposure to Irish whiskeys. I am now a fan of Irish whiskeys too. Thank you Teeling Distilleries.

From start to finish Aiveen gave us an unforgettable experience. She was friendly, personable, and an all-around amazing person to have as our guide. Aiveen was extremely knowledgeable about Irish history, whiskey history, and the Teelings family in general. She was also quite familiar with the whiskey-making process (and the local celebrities who made an appearance during our tour), which ensured that any question our group had, she was able to answer. I'm not sure if every tour is scripted, but I can assure you that her personality and experience here at the distillery have made her an asset to the Teelings team and an unmatched leading woman. Aiveen made sure we had the best time on our tour and whiskey tasting. Following the tour, we had the opportunity to purchase exclusive items from the shop, which we did at Aiveen's recommendation. The young woman behind the counter aided us in creating a label for our bottles which was quite the adventure. If you do plan a trip here, spring for the personalized bottles. Such a wonderful way to commemorate your trip here. We shan't forget this experience any time soon. Thank you, Aiveen. To say I'd recommend this tour to anyone who loves whiskey or, frankly, is in Dublin is an absolute understatement. If I could rate it higher than a 5 I would, simply thanks to Aiveen... and the Teelings family of course.

This is the kind of small tour I love. It was guided and we learned a lot from our guide. The best part of the tour though was being able to sample the different versions of the whiskey that they make. And if you do not like whiskey, they do offer a different sampler for you.

Teeling is definitely worth a visit on your next trip to Ireland! We booked the 4 whiskey tasting with the tour and it was wonderful. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Teeling is super cool because they are actually distilling in Dublin (opposed to Jameson which is not) so you can see the pot stills at work right in front of you. They have a nice little bar and gift shop as well as a cafe with snacks.

Our tour guide, Sophie, was great. The tour was great. It was great to actually see the equipment used to make the whiskey. Only recommendation would be to upgrade your tour to one of the premium tasting as you will be quickly wish you had more tasting at the end of the tour!

Marc was our tour guide today. informative, funny and engaging. By far one of the best experiences I have had on my vacation. Thanks to Marc and all the crew at Teeling.

My friend and I did a distillery tour & tasting with our guide, Brian! He was very knowledgeable and super fun to chat with! We really enjoyed our time with him. The tour was cool and worth it, even as non-whiskey drinkers. I would recommend!

I'm so glad we checked out Teeling Distillery! We had already visited Jameson, but actually wanted to visit an actual working distillery and see where the magic happens. We came on one of our last days in Dublin and it was fantastic! You can book the tours online and we booked maybe an hour before and had no problems, of course this was November 2021 so Covid may have had something to do with it. We arrived a little early so we wandered upstairs to the bar area and ordered a few cocktails before our tour. They were delicious! The tour isn't too long, but it goes through the history of whiskey, whiskey in Ireland and Dublin. You get to walk through the actual working distillery and see exactly how the whiskey is made. I'd describe Teeling as like a hipster whiskey, they are one of the only new distilleries in Dublin in many years. After the tour, it's time for the tasting! They offer a variety of different options you can choose from. We did the most expensive one which includes tastes of the Single Malt, Small Batch, Single Pot Still, and Distillery Exclusive. The whiskey was really good, it's definitely not as smooth as Jameson, for example, but it's still whiskey, I can't complain. The gift shop is upstairs as well, it's not too big but if you're looking to buy whiskey they offer plenty. They also have the Distillery Exclusive batch in customizable bottles if you want to buy a bottle and bring it home with you. Also, the candles in the gift shop are AMAZING. Seriously, they smell so good. Please buy one (or two), you won't regret it.

Marc with a C was awesome. He's an asset to Teeling. What a fantastic tour. Keep it up

Make time in your trip to visit Teeling. Tour was well worth it, our tour guide Gary was fantastic. Kept the conversation light, funny and was educational. The distillery is very clean and trendy. Of the options my group did the select tasting option which included 4 glasses of different whisky's. Post tour had the "Winter Spiced Tea" which was great. Ask for our guy Gary if possible!
