In this exclusive tasting experience, you will explore the unique flavors and aromas that develop over time, from the delicate fruit notes of Dos Estrellas to the rich, complex character of Tres Estrellas. Each sip tells a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and patience, offering a rare glimpse into the artistry behind world-class rums.
The experience continues with a taste of Ron del Barrilito Cuatro Estrellas, a special blend available only at Hacienda Santa Ana, and culminates with the crown jewel, Cinco Estrellas. Guided by experts, you will savor each rum while learning about the distillation and aging processes that make them exceptional.

I highly recommend the Gin school and Distilling academy. My wife and I attended and really enjoyed the experience. Our host/lecturer Glen was welcoming, informative and helpful throughout the experience. It was good fun, the cocktail and charcuterie board at the end were a great way to finish off and we came away with two unique and personal bottles of gin (we paid the supplement for the second bottle). If you enjoy a nice gin and fancy inventing your own personal and unique flavour this is definitely for you.
Such an amazing and quaint little spot for afternoon tea. The platters are plentiful and I’m gluten free and the food was DELICIOUS (IYKYK), couldn’t even finish the cakes. The gin tasting and the history behind it was fantastic. Definitely be back to brew my own soon.
I really enjoyed this experience! Hidden in Inchicore, Stillgarden Distillery turned out to be a small but truly inspiring place where creativity meets community. We explored their Laboratory, watched how spirits, cocktails, and aperitifs are made using modern equipment, and ended the tour with a friendly Q&A from one of their experts. The botanical garden was my favourite part — it’s amazing how a piece of wasteland in Dublin 8 was transformed into a beautiful green space through the Social Botanist project. And of course, the complimentary cocktail (with non-alcoholic options too ) was a lovely touch. It’s a great idea to organise such Culture Dates — they allow us to discover unique local stories, meet creative people, and see how modern Dublin is growing through passion and community. Definitely worth visiting!
An amazing experience with Glenn who told us all about the history of Stillgarden Distillery and was an excellent guide throughout the experience! We were greeted with a drink that tasted wonderful, then he spoke about the history, let us taste test different spirits they make. We then created our own gin from a variety of botanicals of our choice from the wall. Then went upstairs to see where the magic happens as the distilling process was going for our personal gin and ended off with mixing a drink ourselves and enjoying a charcuterie board, great conversation, and laughs. What a great time and a must have experience! Thank you so much, Glenn!
Thanks Glen for a fabulous cocktail masterclass! It was a birthday treat with friends and it did not disappoint! Such a knowledgeable host with an eye for detail. We had a great time and I’m sure we will be back! It was great to see the social garden looking so well looked after too.
