About

Visit Titanic Distillers - Belfast's first working whiskey distillery in almost 90 years.

Join us for an experience to remember in the historic Titanic Pumphouse, located in the heart of Belfast’s Titanic Quarter in a listed building which first opened in 1911 to service and accommodate the White Star transatlantic liners Olympic and Titanic. Now, years later, visitors will listen to the story of Belfast’s whiskey tradition, view the distillery’s three Forsyth’s stills overlooking the original Gwynne pumping engines and enjoy the opportunity to admire the original pump equipment and historical features of a building beautifully restored and retained.

We have four tours available to visitors, including:

Dock Tour  -  A unique outdoor opportunity to explore the site where Titanic last rested on dry ground before her maiden voyage. Brought to life through a 60 minute guided tour, you'll discover the incredible history of a site soaked in memories. Experience the conditions and scale of the engineering project that produced the largest ship the world had ever seen. 

Signature Tour - The Titanic Distillers Signature Tour is a fully guided experience of the Distillery and historic Pumphouse, followed by a sensory experience and tasting of award-winning Irish spirits. Journey back in time and explore how the building, which was once famed for its feat of engineering, has now become home to the Titanic Distillery. Be guided through the distillation process, before a sensory tasting experience of award-winning Irish spirits. 

Premium Tour - The Titanic Distillers Premium Tour brings the stories of Thompson Dock's rich heritage to life, while showcasing the ongoing innovations of the working distillery. This tour combines elements of both the Dock and Signature tours, with a sensory tasting experience of the award-winning spirits included.

Legacy Tour - Take an extended tour of Titanic Distillers at Thompson Dock to gain a deeper insight into the history and stories of this unique site. On this tour, expert guides lead you around our historic home, taking in the Pumphouse, Distillery, Thompson Graving Dock and the floating mezzanine distillery floor, before a very special visit to the original Gwynne Pumps, located three levels beneath the distillery. Tastings of premium spirits are included throughout the tour, and guests will receive exclusive Titanic Distillers gifts to take home. This tour is limited to five people per tour.
