Jameson Distillery Bow St.
A historic whiskey distillery founded in 1780 for Jameson, where the guided tour explains Irish whiskey's triple distillation and ends with a tasting or cocktails.
Jameson Distillery Bow St. stands in the Smithfield district. John Jameson founded the distillery here in 1780. Whiskey is no longer produced on site, and it is now a brand experience center. The standard tour lasts about 40 minutes and covers grain, fermentation, triple distillation and cask maturation, ending with a tasting that compares three whiskeys. Other options include cocktail-making classes and cask-sampling experiences. Visitors must be 18 or older (minors may visit with a parent but may not drink), and advance booking on the official website is recommended. It is about a 15-minute walk from Temple Bar, or a short ride on the Luas Red Line to Smithfield stop.
