If there's one thing Dublin's not short of, it's whiskey distilleries. The industry underwent something of a resurgence, and now numerous distilleries are on the go, most of which are spread around the Liberties. But if you want to taste a few different spirits and not just one brand, head to the Irish Whiskey Museum (irishwhiskeymuseum.ie; tours €23-35) near Trinity College.
You'll learn all about the history of Irish whiskey on a guided tour before tasting a few different varieties at the end. Serious fans will want to book the premium tour for more exclusive sips, or the blending experience, where you can create your own whiskey. However, you don't have to do a tour to have a taste – just head straight to the bar and order a whiskey flight from the knowledgeable barkeeps.
