1Old Kilbeggan Distillery
Without doubt one of the most special distillery experiences in Ireland. A time capsule!

On arrival , you will enjoy a flavoursome Kilbeggan Cocktail and at the end of the tour, you will also enjoy a tasting of 4 whiskeys from the Kilbeggan portfolio , which include; The Tyrconnell (a must for single malt fans) and you will also try our most famous expression of peated Irish - Connemara! Time for shopping is included, before we depart for Athlone.

2Sean's Bar
After having had some free time for lunch / exploring Athlone, we regroup at Sean's Bar - the oldest pub in Ireland, in Europe, and maybe the world! Your Host will escort you on a visit to this famous pub, pointing out all that you should see, including the letter from the Guinness Book of Records confirming Sean's as the oldest pub. Sean's opened in 900 AD, by who ? Why? All will be explained over a nice creamy pint , or why not try some of Sean's Blended or Single Malt Whiskey!
