Dublin Whiskey

Since monks began to practice distillation techniques, Irish whiskey has been around for centuries—learned by observing Middle-East perfumers distilling flower and fruit essences—on beer. Before long, demand for uisce beatha, or “water of life,” grew around Ireland and Europe.
For a few centuries, Ireland had the market cornered until distillers in Scotland and England began applying advancing technology and blending to produce their products more quickly and cheaply.

Find out about the history of Irish Whiskey and its many Dublin distilleries from one of the fantastic tour guides or at the Irish Whiskey Museum.

Glasnevin Cemetry

Ireland’s most important national memorial, Glasnevin Cemetery, is attached to the Botanic Gardens.

The main entrance is west on Finglas Road, but there is a somewhat hidden entrance from the Botanic Gardens.

From just inside the main entrance, turn left and walk about a minute along the boundary to this “secret” gate.

This burial ground resulted from Daniel O’Connell’s cries in the British Parliament for fair treatment of Irish Catholics. Before O’Connell’s push, there were no cemeteries where priests could legally perform Catholic rites before burial.
