    The new Visitor Centre is going to open soon and judging ny the pics that they have posted on Facebook it looks like a nice place. Bar downstairs and a tasting room upstairs.

    Looks great but what a pity they didn't have it open for the tourist season which occurs during what we laughingly call a Summer around here. Still, best of luck to them.

    Yea, as far as I know construction went to plan. At least they'll be well set up by next tourist season. In good time for Banjo festival too.

    Just wondering did anyone go in to look at it yet?

    I was connected with the design / construction of it and was just wondering what everyone thought.

    Didn't have a chance to see it yet but have heard only good things from those who have been in.

    Yep, did the tour a few weeks ago, very well done.

    There is a small tasting at the end which was fun.

    The bar did only serve whiskey but they have added some speciality beers now, O hara's and a cider from cork I think.

    If you wanted to learn about the local whiskey making you could do this tour and on to kilbeggan you'd have a great overview on the old whiskey making process.

    Didn't realise it had been redone! Is it worth going if you've been before?

    Father-in-law coming from America on Friday but he did it a couple of years ago just wondering if a lot has changed to make it worth doing again!?

    Kilbeggan is on the list for sure found it very interesting and well done when we did it last year!

    i was in it and its a nice place not a massive tour and a bit overpriced i think but not bad
    i was there with two czech friends and they thought its was costly enough but they liked it

    one thing its missing is a big tullamore dew sign in it somewhere where you can stand for a picture
    like you see in guinness jameson etc
    they had only a bottle in a corridor but you could be anywhere in the world and see one
