Visit the home of Jameson at Jameson Distillery Bow St. founded by John Jameson in 1780. Enjoy distillery tours, premium whiskey tastings, a cocktail masterclass, pot still whiskey and chocolate pairings. Sample whiskey straight from a cask in Dublin’s only maturation warehouse, or create your own blend to take home.

The flagship Jameson Distillery Bow St. experience was awarded World’s Leading Distillery Tour from 2018 to 2022 by the World Travel Awards. Let a Jameson ambassador take you back in time, serving up an immersive tour that includes stories, laughs and a Jameson comparative whiskey tasting. Hear all about the distinctive ‘grain to glass’ production process while enjoying a complimentary Jameson ginger and lime. Visitors can also enjoy a guided tasting of four premium Irish whiskeys from Midleton Distillery on a secret whiskey tasting nestled in John Jameson’s office, with a visit to the live maturation warehouse also included. A photo behind JJ’s desk is obligatory.

Learn the art and enjoy the craic of creating specially curated cocktails on the cocktail making class, hosted by an expert Jameson Distillery Bow St. mixologist. You will shake, stir and enjoy signature Jameson cocktails in a private bar space within the original distillery buildings.

A visit to Jameson Distillery Bow St. is the perfect date night, team building or gathering experience. A cocktail recipe book is given as a keepsake and to impress friends with your newfound skills. For the whiskey connoisseur, the Jameson black barrel blending class is a must. It is hosted by a Jameson craft ambassador in a dedicated blending room. Guests will take an in depth, sensorial exploration of Jameson Black Barrel, savouring a selection of cask strength whiskeys, before creating a personal blend to take home.

For the ultimate treat, experience The Taste Table, hosted in the intimate setting of Dublin’s only live maturation warehouse. Sample some of the world’s most renowned and eminently decorated single pot still whiskeys from the Midleton Distillery, paired with mouth watering, hand painted Irish chocolates. Draw a rare and exclusive whiskey directly from a barrel, before sipping on a cocktail in the comfort of a reserved area afterwards.

Visitors and locals alike can soak up the atmosphere of JJ’s Bar with a signature drink or seasonal cocktail served neat, on the rocks, shaken or stirred. Peruse the retail shops for gift ideas, distillery exclusives or personalised bottles, upon which you will find a barrel man, representing the distillery workers past and present, and which symbolises the passion and team effort that goes into making every bottle of Jameson. An oversized statue of a barrel man stands proudly outside of the main entrance, which is a focal point for every visitor.

Jameson Distillery Bow St. is also available for private bookings in the evening time. No ticket or admission fees apply for JJ’s Bar and retail spaces. Pre booking for all whiskey experiences is recommended.
