We had a wonderful experience in Jameson Distillery. It was very interesting and fun. We tasted three kinds of whiskey: the original, the Black barrel and the Distillery edition. The one I like most was the original which is 50% Kentucky bourbon and 50% Jerez from Spain. Jameson distillery is a must if you are spending two or three days in Dublin.

This was a fun and informative tour. The guide (Nial) made it great. We did not know what to expect; however, from the welcome drink to the presentations on history, and how the whiskey is made, the tour was tops. We'd even do it again!

  • We had a lovely afternoon at the distillery The tour was very informative. The whisky was delicious.
  • Love the new tasting with the tasting throughout and the new shop, cafe, etc. Great experience.
  • Fabulous tour. Beautifully preserved property, grounds, and equipment. Mike was a fantastic tour guide. Very thoughtful progression on the Behind the Scenes tour, from building to building, which took us through the whole process. Delicious whiskey!
  • TOM was an amazing guide and host. He really transmits his love for what he’s doing and sharing with us. Absolutely an excellent day
  • Our tour was amazing! We booked this directly with Jameson, rather than going through the Princess Cruise tours. We saved money AND had a much better tour. Our guide was knowledgable and fun. We had six people in our immediate party, and one other gentleman traveling on his own from Japan. Perfect group size. Beautiful day in Midleton. I'd give everyone at Jameson 10 stars if I could! And our adult children went home with a special bottle of Jameson Black, hand poured. :)
  • This was an amazing tour! We opted for the 11:10am tour which only included 4 people. It felt like a private tour and was very informative and interesting. Mike was an excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide. The whiskey samples were delicious and with Mike's instruction I was able to better identify and understand the reasons for the different notes and colors.
  • Great access to the property and knowledgeable and fun interaction with our guide. And of course the Irish Whiskey tastings - excellent. Highly resommend this experience.
