More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning departure from Dublin slides you out of city streets and into the soft green of County Cork: low stone walls, grazing cows, and the distant arc of Cork Harbour that seems to pull the van toward Midleton. The distillery complex rises from this landscape — brick, copper and the broad silhouette of the massed pot stills — offering a tactile introduction to Irish whiskey that feels as much industrial as pastoral.
