OUR WHISKEY MISSION

“the soul of Dublin hovers over the waters of Irish whiskey”

Hi, my name is Andrew Rooney – I am a native Dubliner and I had worked as a tour guide for 6 years before setting up Dublin Whiskey Tours in 2016. I spent most of 2015 researching the best bars and whiskeys in Dublin – which happily involved lots of whiskey tasting. Then I hired some of the best whiskey guides in Dublin to help me spread the word. April 2016 we held our first tour in The Dingle Whiskey Bar, Bowes Lounge and The Palace Bar.

We have strived ever since to give visitors to Dublin an experience that we have always loved – enjoying Irish whiskeys in great bars. We still work with the best and will continue to keep the quality high & the whiskey flowing hopefully for many more years to come.
