VIP TOUR
Behind the Label: A Super-Premium Irish Whiskey Tasting Experience
- The Swan Bar, Dublin, Ireland
Step beyond the surface and into the soul of Irish whiskey with this immersive, behind-the-label journey through some of the finest, top-shelf whiskeys Ireland has to offer.
Hosted in one of Dublin’s most iconic Victorian-era pubs — still family-run by third-generation publican Ronan Lynch — this experience blends heritage, flavour, and storytelling in unforgettable fashion. Nestled in the heart of the city, the pub itself is a living museum of Dublin’s social and cultural history, and Ronan will personally share his family’s story, revealing what it truly takes to run one of the capital’s most beloved watering holes across generations.
Once seated in the intimate surroundings of a private snug or heritage-filled back room, your whiskey tasting begins. Guided by an expert host, you’ll savour a handpicked selection of super-premium Irish whiskeys — all true top-shelf expressions. This isn’t your typical tasting: it’s a deep dive into the history, craftsmanship, and character of Ireland’s most exceptional distilleries. You’ll explore a diverse range of styles, from velvety pot stills to rare single malts, limited releases, and exclusive cask strengths.
As the tasting winds down, we’ll enjoy a fresh pint of your choice from the pub’s own family-owned Dublin brewery — a perfect, crisp counterpoint to the bold warmth of the whiskeys.
Then, the rest of the evening is yours. Stay on, soak up the authentic atmosphere, chat with the locals, and enjoy a few more drinks in this treasured Dublin gem.
This is whiskey as it’s meant to be experienced: with history, heart, and a few surprises along the way.
