Irish Whiskey Museum Classic Tour

The Irish Whiskey Museum Classic Tour takes you through Ireland's whiskey heritage in the heart of Dublin. This one-hour guided experience on Grafton Street combines educational exhibits with three carefully curated whiskey tastings, making it perfect for both whiskey enthusiasts and complete beginners.
