The original Jameson distillery in Smithfield, where whiskey was made from 1780 until production moved to Midleton in County Cork in 1975. The building is now a visitor centre with guided tours that explain how Irish whiskey is made and end with a tasting that compares Jameson with Scotch and American whiskey.


It's smaller and more personal than the Guinness Storehouse, and many visitors find the lively guided tour more fun. There are also whiskey blending and cocktail classes, and a bar. Book online.
