Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Limerick Whiskey Experience?

The Limerick Whiskey Experience offers immersive Irish whiskey tastings, tours, and educational events. Based in Peggy’s Whiskey Parlour above Mother Macs Public House, our experiences explore the stories, flavours, and heritage of Irish whiskey through guided tastings with certified experts.

Do I need to be over 18 to take part?

Yes. Due to the nature of the experience, all participants must be 18 years or older. We operate a strict age verification policy, and ID may be requested upon arrival.

Where do the tastings take place?

Most tastings take place in Peggy’s Whiskey Parlour — an intimate, purpose-designed tasting room in the heart of Limerick City. We also offer off-site tastings at customer locations, virtual tastings, and large group experiences in partner venues around Limerick.

Can I book a private whiskey tasting?

Absolutely. We specialise in bespoke private tastings for groups, curated to your preferences. These are perfect for birthdays, corporate events, team socials, or visitor experiences. Private tastings in Peggy’s can accommodate up to 26 guests.

Do you offer virtual tastings?

Yes, we host online tastings for groups and organisations. Whiskey packs are delivered in advance, and the experience is hosted live via Zoom or a platform of your choice.

Can you come to us?

I don’t know much about whiskey — is this for me?

Absolutely. Our tastings are designed for all levels of interest — from beginners to seasoned whiskey lovers. Our WSET-certified hosts guide you through the tasting with storytelling, humour, and plenty of insight.

What’s included in a standard tasting?

A typical tasting includes 4–6 carefully selected Irish whiskeys, hosted by an expert guide. You’ll learn about tasting techniques, production, history, and the unique stories behind each bottle. Optional food pairings can be added on request.
