About this tour
Duration: 90 minutes
A guided history walk and Irish Whiskey tasting experience.
Join us at the gates of Kilkenny Castle and meet your knowledgeable guide & Whiskey Expert – this is the start point for The Kyteler's Inn Irish Whiskey Experience. Suitable for beginners and whiskey experts alike.
From here your group / entourage will be led along the medieval streets of Kilkenny, taking in some of the historic points along the route and hearing of the history of the town and the stories and lore of this fantastic city and what makes it 'The Home Of Whiskey’.
When we reach our destination you will be welcomed into Kyteler’s Inn, a 700 year old medieval building where you will enjoy a premium tasting of four specially selected Irish Whiskeys.
These hand crafted whiskeys will tell you the story of Alice Kyteler; the former owner who fled Kilkenny after being accused of witchcraft, heresy & murder.
Your group will be transported back in time to 1324, hearing of what the Medieval Capital of Ireland was like at the time, and finding out about how The Red Book Of Ossory and the infamous Bishop Ledrede put in place the foundations of our distilling history – all the while experiencing the best Ireland has to offer in whiskey and learning about how it is made from malting and distillation to barrel ageing and finishing.
You will come away with the knowledge of how and why Irish Whiskey is truly the best in the world!
