Manita Kaisthaa month agoWas at slane distillery for father's day as a gift for my dad and it was such a great experience. Barry was very friendly and gave us lots of information and the history of slane castle and the reason behind the distillery and also the reason for the music at slane castle since 1981 which was very interesting 😀 I would recommend slane distillery as a great experience or as a perfect gift or something to do on your day off with family or friends.
Barry the staff member was very good at telling us about all the different whiskeys as he knows his stuff and given us knowledge and I would recommend him.thanks for the great amazing experience🙂
Corey Hinkle7 years agoHad an absolutely great tour here. Conor definitely knew his stuff and was able to explain so much. They have a great product here and possibly an even better environment. Incredibly cool how well they have incorporated the distillery into the stables and the tour showed how much care and thought went into each piece.
Claython Pender6 years agoRising from the ashes of old stable buildings, what were once old ruins on the grounds of Slane Castle, these buildings now house a stunning distillery, bringing whiskey making back to the Boyne valley.
Like the whiskey itself, the craftsmanship that went into the restoration of these old buildings into a state-of-the-art distillery leave you amazed. The restoration has been gentle and in tune with the history of these old buildings. I especially love the stables bar, where the old horse stables have been turned into booths where you can enjoy a glass of Slane Irish whiskey after your tour.
The tour guides are all very friendly and knowledgeable, happily answering any questions that folks had on the tour, and they walk you through the history of the buildings, the restoration work that went in to get it up and running, and of course the magic of whiskey making itself. They even add some colour with the stories behind why the clock over the distillery entrance no longer works (hint, it involves a shotgun).
They can even cater to large private events, such as corporate visits, with catering on site (we saw a large group doing just that when we visited).
The tasting at the end is great, and the experience is wonderful from start to finish.Related categories
