Once upon a time, this was a lovely Yelp-worthy find! We were trapped in the April 2026 protest (no way to drive to Dublin- no way to drive anywhere for the day). While traffic was at a standstill, we drove all the way to Tullamore instead! A lovely town, delightful distillery, and we really enjoyed the 15 year old whiskey. This may be the #2 most popular whiskey in Ireland, I would share it holds a tied position in our hearts with Jameson. The end. read more

I'm no stranger to a distillery tour and this one is now the tour that I will measure all others against. This is my favorite whiskey and has been so for the past 20 years at least - I learnt so much from our tour guide (Brian) that I never knew and it has deepened my love for this brand. The welcome Irish coffee, taste tasting in the actual barrel storage area and finishing with a trio of taste testers at the end means that you REALLY don't want to be the designated driver on this day! lol. The whole place is beautiful, purpose built and super clean. Kids are welcome but they might not enjoy it as much as the people over 18 do! read more

Let's start by saying this was one of the most amazing and in depth distillery tours I have ever been on!! We were driving to Galway and noticed Tullamore Dew was on the way. Online there were no tours available, but we took a chance and decided to stop in anyway. Luckily enough, they had 2 spots available on the 3pm tour. We were super excited and went for it! They only allow 12 people on each tour so it's very intimate and more personal. Their welcome center is very nice with lots of cool gifts, which is where we waited util the tour started. The tour started with our tour guide, Ita, making authentic Irish coffee. So cool!!! Then we did a tour of the facility and we got in a gift card to go to the maturation warehouse, where no phone or cameras are allowed. We did a cask draw to taste the whiskey right from the barrel!! So freaking cool!!! At the end of the tour we did a tasting of 4 different blends of the Tullamore DEW! Our guide, Ita, was so personable, funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. Even the other staff were SO nice. I loved this tour because it included everything you could want, for 1 price without needing to add extras. This was by far the best distillery tour I've gone on and I'll always remember it. At the end of the tour, I opted to blend my own bottle which was something new I haven't seen. Most distillery's let you bottle your own if you want, but here I go to actually pick which flavors I liked and watched the whiskey blend into the bottle to take home. So cool!! read more

What a fun tour. Emma did a great job explaining the process and history. She was very approachable and knowledgeable. The distillery is a marvel of modern engineering combined with many, many years of whiskey making. The little shuttle that takes you from the visitor's centre to the storage facility is adorable, and Andy the driver was great. The smell when you walk into the maturation (aging) warehouse is divine (if you're into whiskey). The cask pull in the Snug was fun. It's definitely worth the drive to see this beautiful place, taste some fine drams and learn. read more

We booked the "Distillery Experience Tour" and had a fantastic time. The tour opens up with an Irish coffee for everyone in the group before you're given a brief history lesson. There's a standard walk around the grounds that includes a short bus ride to the barrel house where you then sample a fresh pot still whiskey straight from the barrel in a cozy part of the warehouse! All in all a great balance between informative and a unique experience. John was our tour guide and Ray drove us in the "Tullabus" and both were excellent. I've had the "Distillery tour" experience a few times on Bourbon Trail visits and this was the first time I could recite back most of the information offered during the tour. Highly recommend to any beverage enthusiasts and those wanting to learn more about the history of Irish Whiskey. read more

What a great experience. It starts with a welcome Irish coffee before the tour starts. I had no idea what an "Irish Coffee" was. I am definitely not a coffee drinker but this was really tasty. Then you get a great explanation on the history and process of how Tullamore Dew came to be and can be made. Next is a visit out to the warehouse where you get to see all the casket whiskey storage. It smells amazing. Next is where you get to taste the copper distilled whiskey straight from the cask in the secret warehouse snug which is a nice touch. Then it's back to the front where you get a 3 whiskey tasting at the end. Then it's last opportunity (for a fee of course) is a chance to blend your own bottle based on some smells and answering some questions. Mine came out amazing if I do say so myself. It gets a label with your name & date which is all about the curated experience. Highly recommended trip. Our tour guide was Frankie and he definitely made it a fun experience. read more

John was amazing! Such a personal tour with A LOT to drink! Truly an amazing experience.

This was a bucket list trip of ours. We both enjoy Tullamore DEW Irish whiskey above all others. The tour gave us a wonderful well rounded history of the Tullamore DEW whiskey we also got to have delicious Irish coffee and several tastings throughout the tour. Daria was very informative and engaging and so was Will who drove the shuttle. Don't want to miss this it's pretty cool! read more

This was my favorite whiskey tour we did on our vacation. The tour guide was excellent and I loved our tasting choices each one was different and I discovered a new favorite. The tour guide even offered a few of us a taste of one of their new whiskeys after the tour. We bought some souvenirs at decent prices. They even serve food. My only gripe about all the tours, I wish they were cheaper. This particular distillery has limited parking, thankfully we had no problem at the time we went. Recommend this tour if you're in the Tullemore area of Ireland. read more

The tour of the distillery and taste testing was excellent and one of the best tours we have every been on. Our guide Derry was excellent from her knowledge of the company to drink making. Hands down better than Guiness. read more

Don't miss this place. The restaurant here is pretty good as the ingredients are extremely fresh. Try the steak fries here and you'll understand. It is THE best steak fries I've ever had because of the potatoes. Ever had a steak fry that's silky smooth on the inside? Amazing! Also, their mushroom soup is as good as it gets. Pair it with some of their whisky and you're good to go. Tip: Don't order the mixed drinks here, they're not good at all. If you plan on buying a bottle of whiskey home, make sure it's a bottle you cannot get back at home. There is a really HEFTY irish whisky tax in play. read more

On arrival the stone building looks lovely. You walk into the shop first and pay there. Staff are lovely. We had a coffee in the bar/restaurant. Coffee was lovely and I'm hard to please. Tours seem to start on the hour. Although the tour was good it was mainly videos and not much of the 'old way' etc there was a few videos. Our tour guide was funny at times, lovely girl. The tasting was good if you aren't the designated driver. You get to taste 3. I couldn't taste any as I was driving but in other whiskey tours I received a miniature whiskey which would have been nice to receive. If in Tullamore it's something to do. read more

The tour was informative and our group was small enough that it felt personal. We were able to ask questions and our guide Nick did his best to answer them all. The tasting at the end great, It's evident that the building has been recently remodeled and care was taken to make it inviting and comfortable. The tasting room was beautiful and the hallway to leave the tasting room was very cool. We decided to have lunch before leaving and we were not disappointed with our food. I would recommend stopping at the restaurant even if you aren't interested in the distillery tour. read more

The tour was informative and also felt less commercialized than some of the others we attended. Amy, our tour guide, did a great job showing us around and answered our questions thoroughly. Afterwards we went for lunch in the cafe on the ground floor. The food was excellent, I had the toastie and husband had the pulled pork. Both were wonderful and we really enjoyed our time here. read more

Delicious lunch on a Tuesday afternoon, situated right on the canal. I had the light chicken salad featuring a yummy mustard vinaigrette and a grilled chicken breast (still hot); my lunch mate had the lite turkey, bacon and Brie wrap, which came with a nice side salad and slaw. Side of fries hit the spot, and water to drink. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town for the Tullamore International Summer Organ Series at nearby Church of the Assumption. read more

Went here to do the tour before lunch and seen them had a pub/cafe'. Food was great and everyone enjoyed everything they had. The mushroom starter was amazing. Staff was ok and maybe a little understaffed. The girl that was our server didn't have much time for anyone as she running around table to table as other girls were standing around. That said I would still go again the food was great and your is even better ... do the masters class read more

Grat Whiskey experience tour by a German transplant to Ireland. And their Warehouse Release Whiskey was good too.

Had a wonderful time with my daughter on my birthday. Jenny was a fabulous guide. Tullamore DEW is an excellent Irish whiskey

Randomly stopped here on our way from Dublin to Galway and was so happy we did. Excellent service and the fish and chips were some of the best I had in Ireland (and I had a lot)! read more

The staff went absolutely above and beyond! So kind and allowed me to keep my bag in a room there while traveling the area. Thanks for the wonderful time! I am glad to have learned the history of my favorite whiskey! read more

My wife and I toured the old Tullamore distillery tour with the "extra tasting" extended ticket last Monday. Our tour guide "Tony" was from Frankfurt Germany, but was fluent in English as many educated Germans are today; it was just strange to have a German tour guide tell us about Irish whiskey making. having just visited the Jameson Midleton distillery the day before, we were a little under-whelmed by the single building Tullamore D.E.W. tour. Irish whiskey is my favorite alcoholic beverage, as I detest the smoke and peat that the Scots and many others infuse into their beverages. Most of the Irish whiskies use anthracite coal (in Midleton) or propane (in Tullamore) which doesn't make the drink taste like an ashtray or old dive bar. I would NOT recommend the tour for families with children who are not of legal drinking age. The kids will get bored, and they'll distract and annoy all the other adults on the tour who didn't bring kids. Apparently since it was the Monday before Easter, all of France was on holiday and many French families (and Norwegian and German and Dutch as well) brought their stroller aged children on a whiskey distillery tour. The tour covered the basics of whiskey making, but it was not as detailed or as informative as the other distilleries we experienced. The 18 yr old blend we tasted at the end of the tour was quite smooth and enjoyable, but I struggle to justify paying 100s of Euros for a single bottle of whiskey. We were told that the new, modern Tullamore distillery located just 10 minutes away holds factory tours on Thursdays; the new factory opened in 2014, and from the pictures and video clips we were shown looks like it would be an excellent tour experience. read more
