Explore Cork’s Rebel City Distillery with a founder-led tour, gin tasting, mixology tips, and two custom cocktails in a small group.
“The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was fascinating to see the distillery and the setup they have in place. The cocktails were all delicious and unique—definitely not your typical gin.
