EXCELLENT Based on 6 reviews Thomas LassanskeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our group of four had a private tasting in the back room with a whiskey sommelier who knew her stuff. I've been to many distillery, winery and brewery tours and tastings in several countries, and this was the best so far. L GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike was a great host, providing lots of history tasting tips on Irish Whiskey. Ben HonanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience during this tasting. Mike was extremely accommodating and tailored the discussion based on our experience (one of us was a wine buff and another hates whiskey!). It was really interactive and enjoyable, and we discovered some new whiskeys that we ended up buying. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about Irish whiskey.

Did this for a work Day/Night out, No pressure as we normally would go out in Dublin but I was selling the Local City of Limerick and TBH , I couldn't have asked for better with the team in Mother Mac's, All I can say was the experience was excellent and second to none and I highly recommend it.
