Dublin has more working whiskey distilleries than any other city. The Liberties cluster — Teeling, Roe & Co, Pearse Lyons — all offer excellent tours within walking distance of each other.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
The Liberties has three distilleries within walking distance: Teeling (Ireland's first new Dublin distillery in 125 years, opened 2015); Roe & Co (in the former Guinness Power Station); and Pearse Lyons (in a converted 19th-century church). The Old Jameson Distillery in Smithfield is the most visitor-friendly introduction.
What Stands Out
- More working distilleries than any other city
- Teeling Distillery — the first new Dublin distillery in over 125 years
- Roe & Co Distillery — set in a former Guinness Power Station
- Pearse Lyons Distillery — housed in a converted church
- Old Jameson Distillery — the best introduction to Irish whiskey
