Visitors are treated to a hands-on experience, and can witness the distillation of gin and whiskey in a real working distillery. 

In the summer of 2019, they opened the Minke Gin School, the only gin school in Munster, and second in Ireland. Learn to make your own custom flavoured gin to take home. A fun and interactive experience for any gin lover. Become a botanical expert and distill your recipe on miniature stills using the same whey gin that is used in Clonakilty Distillery's own Minke gin. A fun and interactive experience for any gin lover.

Everything about the place was amazing. My only problem was that my stay was one night. I will be back for a longer stay next time. I would give them a 10/10 rating. Excellent
