Jameson experience is better with mixology class after tour. Lady instructor needs microphone. Sat very close and hardly understood a Word.

It was ok I guess

I think I was expecting more of a hands‑on blending session—something closer to the Jameson Black Barrel blending experience. Instead, this one was about an hour of history followed by roughly ten minutes of mixing different branded whiskeys to demonstrate how some retail blends come together. If you’ve already been on distillery tours, you’ll get a bit of additional combined history, but in my opinion it’s not worth the price of admission. The staff were very friendly; it just wasn’t the experience I thought I was signing up for.

Briain was great!

We had a great time at the blending experience! Briain was fantastic! We booked blindly and weren't sure what we were getting into with the multimedia display in the first room, but Briain was a great guide and we had so much fun with the rest of the tour.

Best choice and best tour guide ever!

Fantastic experience! The whiskey blending experience was such a unique tour, rather than a regular tasting; it had a perfect crowd size and was a great way to learn the story of Irish whiskey holistically. I’ve done quite a few tours across the world and throughout Ireland, but Nancy was on another level entirely. From the start, Nancy brought incredible energy, humor, and storytelling that made the whole experience feel immersive, and you could tell she genuinely loves what she does by the way she engaged with all of us in the group. Nothing felt rushed or scripted; instead, it felt personal, fun, and full of character. Best choice and best tour guide ever!
