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.
