This was my first trip to Ireland - my wife wanted to do some shopping, so I went on a private whiskey tour with John (junior) of Whiskey Island Tours & Tastings. John picked me up from my hotel and pointed out many Dublin land markers and provided a great history lesson during our afternoon together with private tours and tastings at three distilleries (Teeling, Dublin Liberties and Pearse Lyons). John was an excellent host and very knowledgeable in the finer points of Irish Whiskey. I had started to get a cold from the travel and rain earlier in the day - The various whiskeys were the perfect cure - especially the Dubliner Honeycomb Liqueur at the Dublin Liberties Distillery.
