We had hoped to visit the Jameson Distillery while in town, but it's closed for renovation at the moment so our next best bet was the Irish Whiskey Museum.
We started with an Irish coffee at the little bar as we waited for our tour time to start. Cute little place complete with a feckin ladder!
Nice view from the little cafe of the College Green of Trinity college.
Best Irish coffee we've ever had!
The tour itself was really informative as we walked through the history of whiskey in Dublin. Starting with pot stills made in people's homes (illegal) to the Victorian pubs you see pictured here.
We were told you can tell an authentic Victorian pub by their ceilings. So pretty.
Our tour ended with a nice guided whiskey tasting, and while I can't say I'm a huge fan, I could definitely taste the difference and identify my preference.
