I'm going to Gallway and Dublin in the spring. Gonna get some big brand bottles at the duty-free, but I'm wondering if anyone knows a smaller distillery that would be worth visiting that's local to those areas.

It might not fit into your itinerary but I went up to the Bushmills Distillery in Northern Ireland. It was pretty cool. They have some solid bottles. The drive up is cool too - you can check out Giants Causeway.

I'd love to. Unfortunately, it's a Christmas present trip for the wife, so I can only stretch my good graces to get to visit a few close by distilleries, lol. The next trip, though, for sure; I've heard great things about it.

Teeling in Dublin is great! At Duty Free, you will find great value in the Spot whiskey line from Mitchell and Sons. Blue Spot is cask strength and extremely hard to find in the US. Yellow Spot is amazing and great value, and for the daily drinker, Green Spot finished in French Bordeaux casks from Leoville Barton is a nice option.

Jameson is Dublin isn’t an active distillery. More like a museum. Teeling is active, they have stills and a tour through the distillery as work is going on.

The Irish distillery industry completely collapsed in the 90s, so there’s very little outside of the large brands. That means you won’t find many brands that you can’t find in the US.

What you should be on the lookout for is rarer bottlings that don’t make it stateside.

Powers is the major brand in Ireland that doesn’t really get brought to the US. It’s what the locals drink. Dingle is a recent startup that is hard to find in the US and may be easier to find there. Interestingly, Knappauge Castle is sold almost exclusively to the US, and has nothing to do with the building it is named after.

There has been an explosion of very small new brands that are probably not sourceable outside of the tasting room and speciality shops. Definitely try to find those, but taste them before spending on the bottle.

Thank you. Yea, I've also heard about the lack of Irish exclusive bottles outside of the small distilleries too, which is why I was asking if anyone knew a particular small/local/unheard of distillery I should check out. Luckily, I have some time to research the topic.
