Un grand merci à Cyril pour son accueil parfait. L'histoire de la famille était superbe et la dégustation tout aussi intéressante. Les whiskies sont très bons. Un moment extraordinaire à ne pas rater si vous passez dans le coin.Posted on Google Patrice Bernard Merci beaucoup à Cyril pour cette belle expérience 😁. Un accueil très chaleureux, il a pris le temps de nous expliquer, nous étions juste mon mari et moi, un peu privilégié cette dégustation à deux 😊. Seul mon mari aime le whisky, Cyril a prise le temps de me faire goûter une liqueur à base de miel, c'était excellent👍, ressemblant au Chouchen (hydromel) en Bretagne. Et le petit plus qui fait la différence, repartir avec une bouteille personnalisée à son nom 👌Posted on Google Bernard Audrey Just returned from our first trip to Ireland!
