Have some history with your Irish coffee at Jameson Distillery Bow St., which provides guided tours and tutored tastings of its best-selling whiskey. The distillery closed for business in 1971 and the building now houses a visitor center and bar, located right above the original fermentation vats, which you can still see through the glass floor of the atrium. Guided tours explain the history of Irish whiskey through a series of reconstructed scenes from the old distillery, as well as through several exhibit areas displaying all of the main stages of traditional whiskeymaking. If the tour's complimentary glass just doesn't hit the spot, drop by the second-floor restaurant, where you can take the next drink with a gourmet meal. Make Jameson Distillery Bow St. a centerpiece of your Dublin vacation itinerary, and find what else is worth visiting using our Dublin online vacation planner.

Neither myself or my husband are whisky drinkers but we still really enjoyed the tour. Great atmosphere. Katy was an excellent your guide.

Had such an amazing time at the Jameson distillery bow street. This is a perfect place for a date night in Dublin or even a family/friends outing. We went for a cocktail making class and it was amazing. Our guide was super friendly, and had an amazing knowledge about Jameson in general - from production to distribution. The class was super fun, it lasts for an hour and you get to make two cocktails and taste a shot of Jameson whiskey. They also give you a third cocktail by the end of the class, so be prepared to be a bit drunk by the end of the hour. The class was 50 euro per person, which is very decent as you get 3 cocktails in the price! There are many other glasses and tours as well at the distillery and we will definitely come back again.

I would 100% recommend the cask draw experience - delicious 18 year old cask strength whiskey in a lovely aromatic environment. Katie was a charming and informative host. The splosh and gurgle of the distillers dog was a delight. I don't think I'd recommend the tour however. Our guide was great but it all felt a bit rushed and there wasn't enough time to linger and it all felt a bit constructed. It didn't feel that deep or engaging despite our guides best efforts. The whiskey tasting section was nice but the selection felt geared towards shifting product rather than a really distinctive tasting experience. I'm a whiskey enthusiast not an expert but there wasn't enough contrast between the whiskeys being tasted. You could buy the whiskeys as you exit through the gift shop though... You do get a good couple of drams for your ticket fee so there's good value in that. On balance though I'd recommend you get the cask draw for €10, buy a drink in the bar and go to the Guinness storehouse for the afternoon and enjoy the sunset in the gravity bar.
