I visited the Dublin Liberties distillery just after being at Roe & Co.; this was my second visit with the first being in April, not long after they opened. I waked between the two distilleries and booked a tour on arrival; I had time to kill so bought a hot chocolate from their cafe.

The tour started on time and I was the only person on the tour. The tour starts with an introduction to the Liberties area of Dublin; at this part of the tour you get a sample of the Dubliners Irish Whiskey Liqueur which is honeycomb flavour. It's a liqueur so is sweet, but was very nice; better in my opinion than a cream liquer.

The tour takes you through the production spaces which are split bgetween three rooms;

1. The room containingthe mash tun and wash backs which is where you are told about the milling and other processes which occur prior to the distillation.
2. The mill room which you look into from the first room.
3. Still room where the distillation process is explained.

The dexription of the process was quite good although the use of the spirit safe wasn't covered in kuch detail. Cutting the spirit was mentioned, but not related to the operation of the spirit safe.

The end of the tour is in the tasting room where I got to sample two of their whiskies (the number of samples is dependent on the tour you take). The samples were the Dubliner Original and Dublin Liberties Irish Whiskey Oak Devil. These whiskies are nice, but aren't the product.

This tour was better than the first tour I had, which took place not long after they opened. I'd be happy to comeback again or recommend the tour to others, although there is still scope for improvement which I'm sure will come with more time.

This review is being posted a little after the visit as I hadn’t added a page for this distillery.
I was in Dublin for work and decided to take a visit to The Liberties distillery which had not been open long. I arrived at the distillery directly from arriving at the airport and collecting my hire car. I visited on a Sunday so was able to park on the street directly outside the distilley; those visiting on other days will need to park further away.
I had not booked in advance so bought my ticket on arrival; there was a tour starting right then, but I opted to wait half an hour for the next tour and get a short time to recover from the flight; I had a hot chocolate from their café while I did so.
The distillery is located almost directly behind the Teeling distillery. The building is quite a nice one with the production split into two main rooms containing all of the equipment; the mill is in another room which you can peer into through a window.
The tour has the potential to be a good one, but was still a little rough. The guide got a few descriptions wrong (referring to the wash as pot-ale) and didn’t explain the spirit safes. I did prompt on the latter point, but she still didn’t explain them. I understand this process, but it is disappointing that it wasn’t explained and would be especially so for someone new to visiting distilleries.
As there is potential for an improved tour in future, I’m going to come back to The Liberties distillery in a few months and see if they have improved.
