Great Experience. The Old Midleton Distillery is such a great time. They have a tour--take it. You will learn all about whiskey and Irish whiskey in particular. If you are with someone who does not drink that is great because they allow a lot of tasting there. As they say in Cork "It's great craic".

Very interesting place with great history about the prisoners.
The cells are furnished with amazingly life like wax figures; original graffiti on cell walls tell the innermost feelings of some inmates while a very spectacular audio visual tells the social history and contrasting lifestyles of the 19th century Cork and why some people turned to crime.
