The BEST Whiskey tour in Ireland no-one told you about | Irish Bucket List

[@robloxmaniacdanceandshake7871]

Clizzy Clizare videos are so freakin informative!!!

[@billshepherd4331]

Didn't realize you had a channel. Nice!!!!!!! Irish is my Favorite whiskey & that would be a Fantastic tour!

[@tctruffin]

Took the tour last year. The presentations were stellar. Absolutely worth the $. My blending experience was a little disappointing due to insufficient instruction, BUT tasting the different styles and brands was top notch.

[@seanb5007]

Irish whiskey is my absolute favorite drink by far. Thanks so much for the video! That's another place I need to go when I get back to Ireland! 😁 My wife and I love the videos of Irish places off the beaten path, or things most people miss. Thanks for all your hard work on the videos!

[@nmhymowitz]

I whole heartedly agree that this is a great stop when visiting Dublin. We actually stumbled upon it while on vacation in Ireland back in 2018. We went to Trinity for the morning and as we were leaving, we saw this museum across the road. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the tastings at the end were great!

[@chicken2jail]

This is so cool! If I can ever make it to Ireland, I will definitely check this out, Thanks!

[@davidbourgault1369]

Cue the wonderful version of "Finnegan's Wake" by the Clancy Brothers and the very readable Joyce tract 😂

[@jen-heartofglass7339]

Ok, this is so cool and informative. Whiskey and history facts may be my new favorite combo😁❤️ Thanks Clare for taking us along❤️💐

[@Clisare]

Loads more if you ever end up going yourself, this is only the tip of the iceberg! 🤩

[@SteveInTheOC]

Howdy Miss Clair 👋 i like the wake story and origin of the word whiskey 🥃.

[@Bob_just_Bob]

@@SteveInTheOCYou sir must have been on the whiskey when you wrote this. Not many would dare her displeasure by spelling her name wrong! 😂. She really doesn’t like that. The lady takes her name from Ireland’s County Clare. C L A R E Clare. I only tell you to save you from her wrath should you ever misspell her name again 😂😂😂

[@APaganPerspective]

WOW.. now this was a great video Way to go Claire

[@keepcalmlovedinosaurs8934]

That is some real edutainment! Terrific upload!

[@aricp9173]

That was always the explanation I'd heard for the Irish Wake. There was a cottage industry for some "entertaining" Victorian era oddities such has bells on graves, air holes, etc. (Perhaps this practice to come back in some countries that seem to have a problem with some folks waking up during their autopsies and other odd moments!) :D I do hope Millie is doing well!

[@CapnDan57]

Aw now, that was grand, Claire. I'm trying to imagine the banter amongst the medieval monks who invented this about the name...we shall call it Uisce Beatha! Those portly pious men were certainly doing holy work when they discovered they could turn their beer into "water of life". I can access about a dozen different brands of Irish Whiskey here in Northern Michigan, but my absolute favorite is The Tyrconnell. Slàinte Mhath!

[@paulaellis6281]

Thank you Clisare, I truly enjoy your little informative romps around Ireland.

[@GaryG1974]

Clare I am so glad I found your channel. The Whiskey Museum sounds amazing! ♥

[@Smlucas1189]

My son and I did this tour in 2018, while a great tour, your guide is much more entertaining then ours was.

[@Knifeguy6]

And again, another wonderfull trip, thanks to our clare. You rock girl!

[@fifski]

I agree, I've been on a few whisky tours in Ireland and Irish Whisky Museum is by far the best!

[@danduntz2539]

My oldest daughter and I are heading to Ireland, by way of America to Germany, sometime in the fall, and I’ve added this to the list of things do to. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@nilo70]

I’m excited to WATCH Whiskey Girls , Cheers From California 😊

[@BeautifulKittenOfLove]

The look on your face when you tried that whiskey...PRICELESS! 😘

[@Clisare]

The footage from the Jameson tour was a long time before I started liking whiskey! 🤣

[@shelleyoneil1129]

You are a great ambassador for Dublin. You are not pushy or snobby about it. Pure facts.

[@Spencer06898]

By far the best soruce of information for vactions to Ireland. I am convinced if everyone had an history teacher from Ireland. We would all know a lot more about our history. They are not lying when they say the Irish are the best story tellers.

[@Brian_S74]

That looks like it would be so much fun to experience in person. Thanks for sharing this. Wishing you all a great day and a better tomorrow!!

[@1188jv]

Thank you so much for your tip about the whiskey museum. You are the only person on YT that talks about it.

[@5SteeleLife]

I went on the tour in 2017, and it was awesome. Sad I didn't get to blend. One of mt shot glasses broke and so I wanted a replacement but didn't find time when I was back.

[@cindykurneck]

Amazing! It's on my bucket list now!!!! Thank you Clisare!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@monettemiltner7945]

This was one of my favorite places to visit: the tour guides are excellent!

[@rksnj6797]

I need to take this tour! I love how he cut you no slack being from Mayo. It reminded me of a couple girls I used to work with one summer. They were from Ireland and would poke fun at the rest of us (and themselves) in a funny way. They were never mean about it. It was all in good fun! I could imagine any of them doing stand up comedy!

[@matthewhall3772]

This was amazing! New bucket list destination. I love the history, and I do enjoy a bit o' whiskey from time to time.

[@RangerRon75]

You are one of my favorites from the Try channel! to have this video suggested to me was so entertaining! Being in Northern Minnesota USA , I will never be able to get to Ireland. You did a fantastic job on putting this video together! And I thank for the tour.

[@Greg_Watchorn]

Amazing Clare - brilliant stuff as always!! Having done the tour folks I can 100% confirm Clare's opinion - it is by far the best whiskey tour and indeed tour in itself. Would encourage anyone to check it out!!

[@MichaelJohnson-mh7mp]

Thank you, I look forward to visiting there. Note on Irish wakes: I was from a family in Louisiana that always had a wake for the dead. I found it a bit odd that everyone did not do this when I got out in the world.

[@aspenward390]

Thanks Clisare!! 🙂

[@bobwallace9814]

I would do that tour with you in a heart beat.

[@jamesbourque5739]

This is so freaking cool, Thanks for the info! Now I have another thing on my bucket list.

[@edwardendicott3247]

Ok ok ok you said it was the best wiskey tour, Im going to put this as one of the best tours you've shared! Brilliant and So informative!

[@Dumballa]

That was awesome Clisare. Thanks 🥃

[@wheelz8240]

As if I needed another thing to do in Ireland

[@waynehanley72]

My wife and I have walked past the Irish Whiskey Museum numerous times on our visits to Dublin, but never stopped in. It's top on our list when we return. Thanks for sharing (and the one on Dalkey ... that's also on my places to live if we win the lottery!)

[@BobPrager]

The first time my wife and I had ever had Irish whiskey was in 2014 at the Jameson distillery in Midleton. Wow! (I know, I know -- ignorant Yanks! We have had Irish whiskey around the house ever since.) If we are lucky enough to get back aggain, we'll DEFINITeLY go on this tour! Thanks for the recommendation.

[@ddreese]

This is definitely going on my tour list when I finally come to see you!

[@mememooree]

Brilliant! Planning our first trip to the ancestral lands; this is absotively on the list of stops now!

[@timinsd]

We just got back from spending a vacation in Ireland, including 3 nights in Dublin. This was one of the tours I purchased and really looked forward to it. I'm glad to see I chose well! It was indeed a great tour!

[@Max-The-Maniac]

I visited the Whiskey Museum when I studied in Dublin - great tour, very interesting and informative

[@micahtolleson9735]

love the guy storytelling i felt like i was personally there!!!

[@paulasweeney7358]

That looked like so much fun! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@shirlynb148]

Travelled from the states many times. My last trip of 2 weeks I met my friend from Poland (my travel buddy). She suggested we buy the Dublin Pass. We made it a point to go to and enjoy every event, theater presentation, museum or cathedral included. Was well worth the price for a week of exploring. I’ve done the beer & whiskey tours but never did the tourist stuff and surprised how much I learned.

[@jessegelhof1756]

My Grannie Pat had 4 wakes in 3 days (though us kids only had to attend 3 of them...still a lot, especially when the kids chill out zone had a connecting "off limits" door to the other...individuals in that building). My family always having an interest in cultures and history (and perhaps being called out for talking about "morbid" topics)- we've taken care of neglected gravesites, studied genealogy, worked in forensics, and Grannie herself taught us grandkids how to make rubbings of cemetery markers (though this has been found to be damaging if done incorrectly). It's not an impolite topic for us, it's culture and learning about people who came before. It's why I want to work in archaeology. Grannie was proud of her family coming from Ireland(Ballina, Castleconor/Killanley and Waterford). I think she'd be freaking thrilled to know that this is why Irish wakes came about, and probably find it funny that her grandkids were stuck near other corpses-- since the whole idea of the practice was waiting to see if she would "wake".

[@tomswift3482]

Your videos are so damn good! Always entertaining. Thank you for the time and bother, making and posting them.

[@lostonwallace1396]

Loved this one, Clare!

[@aqacefan]

That guide was takin' the piss! You're such a grand sport, Clare =] And as for the Irish being thrifty, I spoke with a gentleman from Co. Limerick last week who said that the people from Co. Cavan are so tight they'll eat their supper from a drawer (in order to hide it when company calls) rather than hint they've money XD Lovely to hear about Stanton Delaplane... I loved his column in the San Francisco Chronicle for many years.

[@Clisare]

That’s the joke about Cavan same as the one about Mayo is the All-Ireland 😂

[@BrianJColby15YT]

This was an extremely interesting video...I like to hear about history, and I never knew about the true origin of Irish wakes. I loved it!

[@allemachtigprachtig8526]

I went there after my finishing my first year of university! Loved it! Went on the tour slightly tipsy though

[@frankalexander4125]

That was awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@terenzo50]

You're the best, you journalist, you! (By the way, I'm terrifically fond of Mayo myself -- especially on sandwiches of all kinds, potato salad, tuna salad, chips, cold poached salmon. How could one have a proper kitchen without some Mayo in it?)

[@dianegilchrist677]

I loved the tour & especially the fabulous guide.I would love to go there someday.❤ Thank you Claire.😊

[@simonlitten]

I did the tour in 2019 and really enjoyed it. Got to sample different grades of whiskey from really rough to aged and oh so smooth. Well worth the time and small amount of money.

[@Zzus321]

As an Irish American my dream is to see the Old country at least once. Thanks for the video 👍👍

[@Bob_just_Bob]

I did hear that reason for the deaths after the whiskey fire but not the contamination by Horse sh&t in particular. Thanks for expanding my knowledge! I’ve been to the Jameson tour and recently the mixing experience at Roe & Co Now I have a new place on my list for my next trip to Ireland, thank you!

[@rianaconklin6954]

So as an American who was raised with Irish decent, my grandmother on my Father's side used to rub the babies gums with Whiskey when we were teething lol and yes she did it to my Father and Uncle and myself as a baby, I'm not recommending it, it simply is what happened in my family lol just had to share because I decided not to do the same with my own daughters, but my grandmother swore it worked, not sure if it did or if it just knocked us out lol

[@kevinm4606]

My dad did that with myself and my sister when we were teething cept he used bourbon. He also added a very small amount to our milk to help us sleep while teething. THAT is until my mother found out 😂

[@rianaconklin6954]

[@rianaconklin6954]

My great great great grandmother wanted an Irish wake, my families ancestors immigrated from Ireland but they are from Ireland and Scotland, I am American 100% but was raised knowing that my family roots mattered very much, some were from Country Cork,and some were from Mayo, I've only seen a bit of the family history on the Irish side not the Scottish side and I have seen the American bits, I absolutely love your channel and your videos, thank you for sharing, it makes me feel like I learn a bit more about my own family history, thank you so much for sharing, much love from New Hampshire in the USA, it means a lot to those of us who are still learning about our own past even if I am American, it's amazing to learn history of the places that our family immigrated from and the lives that they lived and the history there.❤

nice! I've booked for the end of this month.

Love this episode... Will definitely have to try this tour if I'm ever able to get myself to the Emerald Isle....

Wow! This was great history in Irish Whiskey! Is the other Whiskey place where you made your own whiskey, was that the one Ciara went with you?

We made our own gin in that one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6u2gXx7gdanatU

[@Ameslan1]

@@Clisare Oh right it was gin! :)

[@grahambloxsome3226]

Did the tour yesterday with my mate and my son. We did a day trip by ferry, to Dublin from Wales and the tour was superb. We have dkne dustillery and brewery tours in the past, but this was different in not solely being a description of hiw tge product is made. The guide was not the same guy as in the video, but he was equally as informative and funny. Really recommend it.

[@Clisare]

Yeah that’s the reason I love this tour - it’s not product or brand focused and rather, you learn about whiskey and it’s history - the good, the bad and the ugly! 👏🏻

Awesome & informative. Well done Clare! I have done the American Jack Daniels whiskey tour, at the Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. But Lynchburg is in a "DRY" county, so there's is NO taste testing or purchasing of this nectar in that particular county. But it is a fantastic & yet another informative tour. And if you are a Jack Daniels drinker, like I...it will be a great tour for you. I would definitely do this whiskey tour in Ireland after seeing this video. Very cool.

[@TheDibidibi]

I lived in Dublin for a wee bit and we spontaneously went and did the tour. I hadn't eaten before which I would not recommend unless you do want to have an extra special time there. Otherwise, the lads up there are gas. It certainly is a 10/10 if you want to learn about whiskey.

[@nicholaskarako5701]

So far I have only had poitín made by Glendalough. To me their Mountain strength proof more or less tasted like a high horse power grappa. It's even better with some fresh mint and sparkling elderflower lemonade. Kind of like an Irish version of a mojito and was surprised I actually got a response from the company. When I had sent them an email letting them know I like their products and seemed to appreciated the cocktail suggestions. Their double barrel whiskey is good with and without ice.

[@Clisare]

I definitely recommend theirs, but as it is legal, it is nowhere near as potent as real poitín from back in the day.

[@nicholaskarako5701]

Or the Irish moonshine that I am sure people still make in the country side in Ireland. I have had some apple cider shine made by one of my college roommates while I was going to college in New Hampshire. It burned going down, but overall did not burn my nose hairs like when I smelled some white lighting my uncle Jimmy had gotten from one of his friends. While I was down visiting family from Virginia.

[@nancysantamarialatica1141]

I learned some new. Thank you . 😊😊

[@StephenMay-dd4xs]

This video brought back memories of my great grandmother. She used to tell me stories of my great grandfathers family which were Irish immigrants. The story went that my great grandfathers eldest brother was a moonshiner when they got to Alabama. He was an unruly person and didn’t like the revenuers or law enforcement because he made his own whiskey. They had busted up some of his stills and arrested him a few times. Very long story short. The revenues caught him at the still one day and tried to arrest him but he took off on horseback shooting at them carrying all of the whiskey he could. He was peppered in the back with a shotgun and fell off his horse and busted the moonshine as they called it. He damned it up on the ground and drank it before the whiskey was wasted and he was arrested. A few weeks later after he was released from jail him and some friends had tied ropes to the jail from horseback and pulled it off its foundation onto the railroad tracks. I cannot verify the story but I always thought it was an interesting tale nonetheless

[@sbrock6385]

Thank you 💗

[@joshclark1047]

The history of whiskey in America (especially the South) is similar; we just didn’t wanna pay tax on the stuff 😂

[@TimHoekstra]

It being free from (single) brands makes it go to the top of the list very easily.

Looks like they've given the place a glow-up since I was there back in 2018. Got myself a mini-glencairn after the tour and I got introduced to Red Breast whiskey there, so my wallet's been hurting ever since 😅
