Planning a special celebration this year?

When it comes to marking life’s big moments — from milestone birthdays to long-overdue reunions with family or friends — Midleton Distillery Experience offers something far beyond the ordinary.

Set in the heart of East Cork, this historic home of Irish whiskey is an elevated backdrop for groups who want to celebrate in style, blending authentic heritage with a contemporary sense of occasion.

Whether you’re raising a glass at a landmark anniversary, planning a sophisticated group getaway, or looking for a fresh take on a hen or stag celebration, Midleton delivers a one-of-a-kind experience that’s memorable for all the right reasons.

Experience the history 

Midleton Distillery Experience offers groups a chance to step away from the ordinary and immerse themselves in something truly memorable. Picture this: A fun afternoon exploring the atmospheric old distillery buildings, learning the craft of Irish whiskey from passionate guides, and then raising a glass together.

For a treat like no other, The Redbreast Tasting Experience, hosted by a Redbreast Brand Ambassador, will demonstrate why the Redbreast Family Collection is deemed the number one Ultra-Premium Irish Whiskey and the world’s most awarded pot still whiskey.

Your group will enjoy an exclusive tasting of Redbreast’s finest expressions, including insights into the rich history and craftsmanship behind this iconic whiskey. The experience ends with a Redbreast Old Fashioned cocktail, served in the Distillery Bar.

You can also arrange a whiskey cocktail-making masterclass, where fun meets the art of mixology. Suitable for groups of up to 16 people, it’s an experience that works beautifully for big birthdays, reunions, or family get-togethers — the sort of occasions where you want a little theatre, a little indulgence, and a lot of laughter. For groups who’d rather avoid the predictable, this is an option that delivers sophistication without stuffiness.

And yes, if you’re organising a hen or stag, this is a clever alternative to the usual fare.

It gives the group a shared activity, plenty of conversation starters, and a touch of grown-up glamour. Most importantly, you leave with more than just a fun memory — you leave with a story, one that feels worthy of the occasion you came together to celebrate.

Ditch the clichés—raise a glass to something legendary.
