Cork Midleton Distillery Jameson Whiskey Experiences

For those of you who are unfamiliar with whiskey and even those who are, I highly revommend the Whiskey Flight Premium Tasting. Our host was Mike who was extremely knowledgeable about the 4 different manufacturers of the ones we sampled. There were 6 of us, each having questions to which he politely and thoroughly answered. This is a must do when visiting Midleton in County Cork.

This was a highlight of our trip to Ireland. Joe our tour guide was excellent in showing us the history and distilling process of Powers, Jameson and Mitchels and how the three became one and the distillers formed the company we know today. We paid for the special tasting and it was worth every penny, the top shelf whiskeys we tasted were better than many of the whiskeys I have had before. I recommend this for anyone who likes history or spirits.

We did the premium tasting and we highly recommend it. The tour itself was very informative and interactive. The distillery is beautiful!

The Jameson Experience is a must-do! Our guide was amazing and the history of Jameson was fascinating! The whiskey tasting is a bonus!

Really enjoyed the whole experience, particularly as a long time Jameson Irish whisky drinker. Very interesting and informative and well worth the price. Particularly enjoyed the post-tour tasting - excellent selections.

Booked the premium tasting experience rather than a tour by mistake, but glad I did. Tom our host did a fantastic job walking us thru the four premium whiskey’s ( including the Midleton) and what makes them distinctive. Had such a good experience we did the general tour following which gave a great history of the operations at the facility.

The whole experience was so good. The guide was very informative and he explained everything. Tasting the whisky was an experience for us ladies but the men tucked to it like ducks to water

We took the behind the scenes tour. Very cool experience for anyone interested in Midleton products, and the process used to make them. Mike was an awesome and knowledgeable guide, with tons of awesome information. Even though the tour was a decent length of time, it didn't feel long. The tour group was small, so it offered for a lot of personalized attention and opportunities for questions. While the admission fee was someone steep, it was still a good experience. All of the tastings were of great product, though it would have been nice to sneak in maybe one more somewhere along the way. Other than that, it was a really cool time and definitely worth it for anyone interested in Midleton, the history of Irish whiskey and it's production, or just checking out a distillery while in Cork.

We weren’t sure whether to book the Midleton Distillery tour during our stay in Cork, as neither of us are whisky drinkers. However, after reading so many positive reviews, we decided to give it a try and we’re so glad we did. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. She answered every question with confidence and genuinely seemed to enjoy what she was doing, which made the tour even more engaging. At the end of the tour, we received a drinks voucher and had the chance to sample a selection of whiskeys. Even as people who don’t usually enjoy whisky, we found it great fun and really appreciated the experience. Overall, it was a fascinating tour, and we’d recommend it to anyone visiting Cork, whether you’re a whisky fan or not!

Great tour, very interesting, delicious whiskey and our guide Stephanie was fantastic
