Jameson Whiskey Distillery tour with tastings

Bow Street, Dublin, County Dublin

Description

Jameson Distillery Bow St. is a tourist attraction operated on the site where Jameson Irish Whiskey was distilled until 1971. There are several tours such as a blending or cocktail making classes as well as the "Bow St. Experience" that consists in a 45mins guided tour of the distillery, a comparative whiskey tasting, and also includes a Jameson drink at JJ's Bar.

Access & Transport

The distillery is slightly west of Dublin city centre (walking distance), 300m north of Liffey River and 200m from the Smithfield (red line) tram stop. The nearest car park is on Queens Street/Smithfield Square.

Instructions & Recommendations

The Bow St. Experience is available for children under 18yrs old, the whiskey drink at the bar will be replaced by a soft drink.

Meta review

The distillery tour gets some inconsistent reviews, depending on what visitors were expecting out of it. Online reviewers who were more interested in the production aspect highlight that this is no longer a functioning distillery, so you will have to be satisfied with some videos, but the history of the brand (a.k.a. the marketing story) and Irish whiskey in general is well covered and enhanced by friendly & engaging guides as well as the standard drink at the bar.

Environmental & Social

Some electricity consumption and negative aspects around spirit consumption

Conclusion

Not one for whiskey connoisseurs in our opinion but if you are not going to be travelling outside Dublin and Irish whiskey production is of interest then this is definitely worth considering. A little short and quite expensive but, overall, well executed.

Key positive

Insights into whiskey production
