Irish Whiskey & Kilkenny Stories

Discover the heart of Irish whiskey culture inside The Dylan Whisky Bar, Kilkenny’s iconic whiskey library. The Kilkenny Whiskey Story is a premium guided tasting designed for curious beginners, whiskey lovers, and visitors who want to experience Ireland through flavour and storytelling.

Over 75–90 relaxed minutes, your Whiskey Guide will lead you through four carefully selected Irish whiskeys—from light and approachable drams to a premium finale pour. Along the way, you’ll learn how to nose and taste whiskey like a pro, explore flavour families, and hear the fascinating stories of Kilkenny’s distilling past, the Red Book of Ossory, and the city’s Whiskey Guild.
