Excellent Experience - We thoroughly enjoyed our distillery tour last week. Paddy was a super host & gave us a most interesting tour with superb local knowledge. Really interesting to hear about the tradition & history & learn about the local industry. We were further impressed by the excellent Covid safety protocols employed & felt safe & secure throughout the tour. Needless to say, the Gin tasting at the end of the tour finished the day off on a very pleasant note. Bought a bottle of delicious Minke Sloe Gin to take a taste of Clonakilty with us.

Amazing tour - My girlfriend and i done the tour of the distillery this past weekend and it ended up being a private tour from our guide as there wasn't any other bookings(Monday Evening earlier slot was fully booked) The tour was very detailed and informative and very interesting, the building is modern and spacious. After the tour we done a gin tasting of their minke gin which was wonderful

Fantastic day out - Fantastic tour experience with Debbie. Such an interesting tour and Debbie made it all the more enjoyable by having a giggle with us and answering all questions asked. Would definitely recommend this tour. The place looks fabulous and each room was just as nice as the previous. Will be visiting again. On Debbies recommendation we went out to visit Galley head lighthouse afterwards and I was blown away by the amazing views. Planning to go back for the gin school. ☺️

Best staycation ever !!! - The whole experience was excellent, being greeted in the gift shop, the guided knowledgeable your by Ewan & Paddy. The fantastic story behind the whiskey & beautiful stills! And we also did Gin school which was so much fun & incredible. Afterwards we ate in the whalestail restaurant downstairs & for me it was some of the best food I ever had. Get the hot fish platter for main! It will change your life... very friendly well trained staff.

Sensory and educational spirit tour - If you are interested in your Whiskey, Gin or Vodka this is a nice way to spend 90 minutes- interesting, educational followed by a very pleasant tasting experience at the end. I am not a whiskey or spirit consumer so I enjoyed the educational experience and leaning about the distillation process. The two ladies giving the guided tour were very friendly and knowledgable about the whole process. The smells and aromas as you go through the tour make it a very sensory experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone even if you are not a whiskey or spirit enthusiast
