Best tour in the city
What a fabulous experience. Great value for money. Learning about the history of the distillery and then seeing it face to face is brilliant. There is so much to see, experience and learn about, notwithstanding the impeccable Whiskey tasting itself. The variety of whiskeys to sample is commendable to Jameson. The best tour in the city.

Great distillery
The Jameson Distillery in Midleton, Ireland, is definitely worth a visit! 🥃🇮🇪
I myself have unfortunately never been able to take part in the tour, as I usually have to prepare food for our guests during that time. 😭 But our guests are thrilled every single time – both by the tour and by the subsequent tasting.
The shop is also beautifully decorated and has a great bar. In the back left, there is also a small café with sandwiches and delicious pastries. 🥪☕
The staff are really always extremely friendly and warm. ❤️
And for those who don't speak English that well: The tours are also offered in German! 🇩🇪
A nice opportunity to learn more about the history and production of the famous Irish whiskey. 🥃✨

A must-do
Nice experience, it is the only distillery I have visited but I found that the experience offered was high-quality.
The site is very well maintained, small group, all the staff friendly and smiling, and the guide is very knowledgeable and educational, open to questions and participation.
I took the package with a tasting, there too, nice room, good products, and a relevant host.
You do not visit the site while it is in operation, but the historical site.
In addition to the tasting, there is a drink in the very beautiful bar.
I do not think that Jameson makes a profit on these tours; it is a nice presentation of the group and its brands.

Great Experience!
Very friendly and professional. We learned a lot about the history of JJ&S. Oscar was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide with a good sense of humor. It exceeded our expectations. The process of distilling whiskey was fascinating and the tasting was very organized. We are not Irish Whiskey drinkers but fully enjoyed. Much, much better that the Dublin Guinness tour!

A superior distillery experience in Midleton.
We've done the Bow St. Distillery Experience in Dublin before, but this was an all-around better and more thorough experience and tour.
Our guide, Neal, was lovely -- energetic, knowledgeable, and full of good info.
I personally really appreciated the broader look at the full "portfolio" of Jameson products (Redbreast, Method and Madness, Green Spot, etc.) instead of solely the different Jameson varieties.
It was cool to see the different historic areas where they once produced the whiskey. The campus itself is beautiful: picturesque and historic.
My favorite part of the tour (aside from the tasting) was seeing the cask room and seeing the different stages of the aging process.
