The best views, excellent food and great service. 10/10 Food was exceptionally good! Krista Ogle2024-10-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our experience here! The whiskey tasting was so informative and our host so knowledgeable. The dinner and flight of beers we had afterwards was spot on and one of the bests since being in Ireland! We bought multiple bottles to keep because we truly believed this distillery is going somewhere!

Quero destacar a excelência e a amabilidade do vosso colaborador Steven que nos guiou nesta visita às vossas instalações. Foi uma apresentação muito interessante e elucidativa sobre a vossa empresa. Maria Margarida Tinoco Matos Beja2024-10-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visitamos hoje as vossas instalações e fomos muito bem recebidos. Steven foi um excelente guia, que nos explicou não só o processo de produção, como também a história da empresa e a sua inserção no mercado nacional e internacional. Iremos recomendar aos amigos. Só não adquirimos uma garrafa de whiskey porque só trouxemos bagagem de mão. Iremos adquirir no aeroporto. Obrigada Jessica R2024-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our final stop on the Ring of Kerry so we could grab some food before heading back into Killarney. The views from the restaurant are stunning! The food was excellent and the service was great. We had the bread and beer cheese to start and then the chicken wings and a burger for our mains. The wings were spicy but very good. Definitely a must stop for those driving the Ring or just visiting Killarney. Michael Jindra2024-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s like Bucktown/Wicker Park but with mountains! A must for anyone looking to wind down after a day in Ring of Kerry, Dingle, or Killarney Park. Food and beer is excellent. Interior stunning. Staff on point.
