Locke’s Distillery
Locke’s Distillery is the last remaining example of a small pot still whiskey distillery in Ireland and is believed to be the oldest of its kind in the world. Licensed in 1757, whiskey production continued for over 200 years until the distillery closed its doors in 1957. Now operating as a museum, visitors can enjoy guided tours that take you through the entire whiskey-making process, from the grinding of the grain to the final cask.
Learn about the lives and working conditions of the people who labored at the distillery, and to top off your experience, enjoy a complimentary tasting of Kilbeggan Irish whiskey.
Renowned for its connection to Finn McCool and the Salmon of Knowledge, Locke's Distillery is nestled near the Slieve Bloom Mountains, a place that has long inspired legends and continues to captivate visitors with its natural beauty.
The Bridge House Hotel Tullamore is the perfect place to stay while discovering Ireland’s hidden heartlands.
