HOME OF FERCULLEN IRISH WHISKEY

What a wonderful tour. What a wonderful tour set in such beautiful surroundings! Our guide Hugh was so knowledgeable and answered all the questions we asked! The tour itself was fascinating and the tasting room where we had a sample of three different whiskeys was very relaxing. Hugh talked us through all the different processes of distilling the whiskey and then the differences between the whiskies we sampled. The gift shop was very well staffed with very knowledgeable staff. All in all, the best distillery tour we have ever been on.

100 MILLION REASONS TO VISIT POWERSCOURT!!!! When I tell you Powerscourt was a PHENOMENAL experience I mean it. First I would like to start off with how amazing the grounds are when you come into Powerscourt and YES that includes the drive up. Ben was our guide and there are not enough words to describe how personable he was and is. He was knowledgable on everything we had to ask. Ben went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our experience there. We definitely were thrilled to the point that we WILL be coming back and we plan on requesting Ben give us the tour again!! Ok ok I know I'm bragging lots about Ben, let's touch base on others as well. Mia and James!!! They work in the retail part of the distillery (Whiskey and cafe) When I tell you they went above and beyond as well I truly mean it. We had a WONDERFUL cheesecake that they recommended and we were told that it would be some of the creamiest and best cheesecake we would ever have. THEY DID NOT COME TO DISAPPOINT. IT WAS THE BEST AND THE CREAMIEST. All of the charcutterie items we had were exquisite as well! Overall there is NOT a single bad thing I could say about this whole experience we had. We have done a few distillery tours during our venture here in Ireland and this one put it over the top. We appreciate everyone's hospitality and for making us feel welcomed. We will NEVER forget our time here and of course we will reminisce over our experience while we drink from some of the bottles we purchased. OH that's another thing. DON'T KNOCK THAT SMALL BATCH!!!! IT WAS GREAT!!! THANK YOU AGAIN POWERSCOURT!!!! Steven Latta

Fantastic tour Myself and my husband love a tour. We’re up for anything and love a good teaching and history lesson. Hugh was our guide and by far the most outstanding and knowledgeable guide we have come across in our vast travels. He was so approachable, kind and patient. He was as interested in us as we were in the distillery. His manner was of such that it made us feel part of their distillery family for the afternoon. We highly recommend this tour to absolutely anyone even if you don’t really reach for a whiskey. Thank you Hugh for a stellar afternoon with you.

Excellent 👌 Best whiskey distillery in Ireland! Amazing staff, lovely tour. We enjoyed it. Excellent whiskey tasting experience.

Very nice distillery Very nice, very clean new distillery. The surroundings and the lounge are respectively wonderful and very cosy. The tour is really interesting. Not too much people, even in august, you can ask questions and get lots of details about the process. You taste three whiskeys, all of then good and interesting. I would greatly recommend a tour of the Powerscourt distillery.

If you’re a fan of whiskey and history, enjoy! I booked tour tickets for us as a birthday treat for my husband while we were staying at the Powerscourt hotel which is only a 3 minute bike ride away. I won’t tell you any spoilers but Ben our tour guide was great! Very informative answering any questions we had. Very friendly and made everyone feel welcome. The place is so rich with history, not just within the distillery but across the whole estate. There is a cafe and gift shop on site where you can try and then buy the whiskey produced here or enjoy a coffee and a scone if you’re the designated driver! They had a whiskey ice cream available when we visited and it was beautiful.

Great tour, interesting history Really enjoyed getting a bit of local history along with the tour. Our tour guide Ben was really friendly and knowledgeable. Tasting room was very nice. Whiskey was pretty good, too!

Good Tour Visited the distillery on Sunday with my friend who likes whiskey. Distillery was spotless clean, Ben the tour guide was very informative and I would recommend this tour. I am not a whiskey drinker and was driving however my friend really enjoyed the samples. Presentation of the samples was lovely.

History tasting whiskey experience Fiona was knowledgeable and not overly technical in her explanations which was treat. She held her tour size group of 8’s attention. The whiskey tasting room experience was great as well. The best part there were no pushy sales people.
