Here is what our Customers are saying About us
Cocktail Masterclass..solo I did a Cocktail Masterclass. I had planned to go with my husband, but he couldn’t make it. So I went solo, unfortunately it really was a solo experience.. the tables were set out in such a way, that I was sat totally on my own with no interaction with the rest of the group. There were only 10 people taking part, it would have been much nicer if the group had been sat together.. also nothing was really explained about the evening..we were told how to make two drinks and left to our own devices, no snacks were offered, although they were advertised..A very sad lonely experience and not cheap
I’ve visited The Shed numerous times..but sadly, I think that may be my last time.

Super staff, delicious drinks, fantastic food! We visited Drumshanbo for a long weekend with this tour being at the top.of our list. We were a large group (18) but were accommodated easily.We were guided by Shane, who was very engaging and funny and with an experts knowledge of the distilling process.
We had our delicious complimentary cocktail in the jackalope cafe with our lunch. We all agreed that the quality of the food and drink available was absolutely fantastic. Each and every member of staff at the Shed deserves huge praise for the way that this place runs - you would struggle to find fault.

Whiskey & Gin Tour -The Shed Distillery I went on the tour today at The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney and thoroughly enjoyed it. Saoirse was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the distillery and its story. The tour was very interesting and well organised, and the tasting at the end was a lovely way to finish. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.Celine W
