Very professional - A fantastic tour. I tour we fully understood from start to finish. Very in depth and detailed. Jonny was extremely knowledgeable, kind and professional. A real asset to the brand. We will be back for their 2026 bottle, but I must say this whiskey is very nice. In my opinion a very lovely lapsang souchong note and perfume aroma. The good news is we managed to get a bottle at the airport upon leaving Belfast. Keep up the good work!

A fabulous tour! - A fabulous tour!!! Brian was an excellent guide who gave made this a delightful experience. We gained insight into both the historic use of this old pump house and the current use as a whiskey distillery with tasting included! Ignore Sat nav direction which sends you into titanic car park. Instead follow for HMS Caroline and park in the Catalyst car park right beside the distillery.

Recommend Titanic Distillery - Very friendly and informative tour and tasting. Loved the links to the past and the atmosphere. Our tour guide was helpful and friendly. It’s just beside the titanic museum and well worth incorporating into a visit there. Wished we had time to try the cocktails too.

Fantastic experience in Belfast - Brian was a fantastic tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and an incredible storyteller. We learnt a lot about the process of making whisky, the engineering history of the building and the history of the Queen’s Island area. The vodka and whiskey we tasted were both delicious- and the cocktails were wonderful too. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belfast.

Amazing tour! - Really interesting seeing and learning about behind the scenes of a new distillery! The vodka and whiskey tasting was well worth it, I'm not very knowledgable about describing flavours, but it's damn good haha. So good I drank the vodka before taking a photo
Johno was such an amazing tour guide, super engaging and answered all of our questions, and took extra time after the tour to give us superb recommendations of local pubs. Thanks mate!

Absolutely worth it - Johno and the team made the experience and it was amazing to see a world heritage building take on new life. The whiskey and vodka were beautiful and was really cool to see the process. Highly recommend especially in the coming years and they continue to grow

Great tour! - Titanic whiskey is rich and smoky with a more pronounced fruit flavor compared to vodka. More importantly, we learned a lot: from Thompson Dock, which once hosted building the Titanic, to the historic Pumphouse now transformed into a whiskey distillery that revives Irish tradition. Our host Brian's explanation was rich, precise, and to the point. This tour is much more than a simple whiskey tasting for whiskey lovers (which we are not); it delves into Irish culture, Belfast history, impressive engineering, and the traditions of distillation and aging.

Highly recommend - Me and my boyfriend went here as part of his 21st birthday celebrations and it did not disappoint! The tour was informative and interesting, I never knew how whisky was made or how much time went into it. Our tour guide was very funny and kept us all engaged and took time to ask us about ourselves too. The best part was the tasting, the vodka was incredible and the whisky was amazing too! We bought a bottle of the whisky with the two glasses so that on special occasions we can have a drink to celebrate. I would recommend this to anyone whether you like whisky or not as it’s also very interesting to learn about the history and the titanic docks too! The cafe out the back also makes incredible food!
