I was not a whiskey person until I visited Teeling.

Our first day in Ireland we stumbled upon the distillery while perusing Google Maps. We immediately grabbed a tour ticket online (very easy process) and wandered over.

The tour was relatively short (30 minutes?) with a tour through the _actual_ distillery, which was energetic, fun and informative thanks to our wonderful tour guide. Then the tastings. You can choose many kinds of tastings. We decided on the simplest - the small batch whiskey straight plus a cocktail - and we were very happy with our choice.

The tour guide walked us through how to drink whiskey (which I had not been taught before) and then things to take note of while tasting.

We enjoyed it so much we stayed after the tasting for another drink at the bar, which had some of the friendliest bartenders we met on the whole trip. They gave us excellent drinks, and excellent suggestions of things to do while in town.

I highly recommend everyone visiting Dublin take a tour at Teeling.
