County Clare, Tullamore & Dublin, Ireland (Day 10)

The next morning we packed up and got back on the bus to head to the Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre.  At the Centre we took a tour with a guide who taught us how Irish whiskey is made and ended with a tasting of three different whiskeys.

After the tasting we continued on to Dublin and checked in for our last night in Ireland.

That evening we headed down the street to the basement of a pub where we listened to The Irish House Party.  We had a great time and really enjoyed their music.

Early the next morning we got up and headed to the airport to make our way back to the states.
Itinerary: "Enjoy a relaxing morning at the castle before you return to Dublin. Along the way, visit the Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre where you will learn how Irish whiskey is made and enjoy a tasting. Tonight, come to know Ireland’s true secret – its people. Meet a few of the boisterous locals over a pint when you enjoy a drink and entertainment at a local pub and see why the Irish are known for their generous and hospitable nature."
