Lonely Planet review

Smithfield's biggest draw is devoted to uisce beatha ( ish- kuh ba-ha, 'the water of life'). The whowhatnow? It's whiskey, the essential Irish spirit, which doesn't quite bestow life, but, if drunk enough, will undoubtedly take it away. Here, in the original home of one of its most famous and renowned distillers, you can get an excellent introduction to the history and culture of this most potent of drinks.

Serious fans might be put off by the slickness of the tour and museum, which shepherds visitors through a compulsory tour of the re-created factory and into the ubiquitous gift shop.
