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.

Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience. Only one small comment: it was difficult to hear the tour guide at certain times. It would be useful to give them a small microphone so all participants can hesr them better and they don't have to shout. Other than that we loved it! And would definitely reccomend it to friends

Jameson Distillery, a Must Visit!

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.

Whiskey lovers home

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.
