Great experience would throughly recommend! Johnny was a great guide and was brilliant as explaining everything and really knowledgeable..plus cocktails were very tasty!
I feel the tour was good and worthwhile going to. The tour guide that gave us a drink at the start and then brought us through to the whisky and vodka processing area was nice, pleasant and was great at explaining the history of the place, the machinery in the distillery and the tasting different alcohols.
Absolutely brilliant distillery. Visiting Belfast from Scotland so we are second hand at distillery tours but I think this is the best I've done. The combination of the history of Belfast, the shipyard and Whiskey made it an amazing tour. Our tour guide, Johnny, was so enthusiastic, informative and friendly and really made the tour with us. He showed a geniune interest in everyone on the tour which made it feel even more personal. We'll be back in a couple of years to try some of their more matured whiskies.
The Legacy Tour around the Thompson Dock and the Distillery was awesome. Brian is a very passionate and knowledgeable guy who not only knows his proud Irish history and his smooth Irish whiskey but also knows how to relate it. Listening to him and tasting the whiskey was a pure pleasure and an eye opener at the same time.
Brian was an excellent tour guide. Engaging, interesting and passionate - and he was able to communicate his expertise in a very informative way. I thoroughly recommend this tour.
The tour guide Brian was great. He was passionate about Irish whiskey. The titanic whiskey was fantastic and we really enjoyed the tour. During our tour we had a dram of their vodka and whiskey. Both were great. Following our tour Brian made us a complimentary cocktail made with either their vodka or whiskey. We highly recommend this tour.
This tour was one of the best distillery tours we have ever done. This is a fairly new distillery and the knowledge and enthusiasm for the guide was amazing. All the staff were happy, helpful and very friendly. My husband loved the whiskey and although I am not a whiskey drinker I have to say that I loved the taste for the whiskey being distilled here. The lovely staff even sorted a taxi for us back to the city centre. I must do tour whilst in Belfast.
We came in did the dockyard tour with Johnny who was fabulous. Even the weather didn’t spoil it. He was informative, numerous and really interesting. Highly recommended for everyone. The coffee and cake afterwards was also delicious. Off the beaten track but well worth the walk!
I’ve been on several whiskey distillery tours and this one was by far the best. At first my expectation was low- kinda thought it was Titanic-tourist grabby thing. But not only I learned so much about whiskey, also about Belfast- how it all ties together. Also, Titanic Whiskey is fantastic. My guide Brian had a true love for what he does, for whiskey- and I really appreciated his presence. Highly highly recommend
Great experience, highly recommended for your trip to Belfast. All staff were extremely friendly and even gave recommendations for the remainder of the day. Drinks in the distillery are also very reasonably priced and great merchandise available for purchase.
