Jameson Distillery: Guided Tour and Tasting

The Jameson Distillery Bow St. is the historic site in Dublin where Jameson Irish Whiskey was originally distilled from 1780 until 1971. Today, it serves as an immersive visitor center where you can learn the 'Grain to Glass' process, explore its history, and participate in guided tastings.

The guided tour of the Jameson Distillery and the tasting experience lasts approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Afterward, you are free to relax in JJ's Bar with your complimentary drink for as long as you like.

During the tasting portion of the tour, your Jameson Brand Ambassador will provide you with three different samples: a traditional Scottish whisky, an American bourbon, and Jameson Irish Whiskey. This allows you to compare the distinct flavor profiles and understand the smooth effect of Jameson's triple-distillation.
