    A lovely way to whittle away a grey and wet afternoon. Tour was very interesting and the guide pleasant. Then we had whiskey tasting which was fun and concluded with a drink at the bar. We stopped for lunch which was excellent. So glad we came and superb value for money (although did spend a small fortune in the shop!!)

    Fabulous experience at The Shed this afternoon. We really enjoyed the cafe with delicious food and the gin bar with exceptional staff, very friendly and helpful - especially Shane who served us in the bar. The stand out point for us were all the exceptional staff at The Shed - so welcoming and engaged with their customers. Would highly recommend a visit to The Shed for lunch and a G&T.

    The guide didn’t know what cask strength whiskey was. When asked why on 43% was bottled, the guide said it was illegal to sell higher ABV in Ireland…. There is only a minimum limit according to Irish law- 40% There were three whiskey drams. There was a lot of talk about the first dram and talk about the casks they use and then we had to rush out of the tasting room. Not a word about the other drams…. We could take them with us to the bar, but without discussion. It was said that water would bring out new notes… that happens in cask strength bottlings, but not in 43% bottlings to my knowledge at least. Consider that this is a 7 year old at 43% where several thousand bottles are produced, and the top of their line sells at EUR 123. In contrast, very good cask strength single barrel Scots whisky with an outturn of c. 280 bottles can be found for well under EUR 120. The drams were Ok but noticeably young and rough around the edges.
