About us
Who says nostalgia’s not what it used to be? Join us as we leaf through the pages of Jameson’s remarkable story in the Jameson Experience, Midleton (not literally of course - it’s way more exciting than any book) and look back at dreams realised ‘without fear’, standards maintained without compromise, and an Irish Whiskey created without equal. In the convivial company of our guides you’ll be informed and entertained.
You’ll also be invited to join us for a wee drop of the triple distilled stuff - with our compliments naturally. And for a few lucky, selected volunteers, there’s the chance to take part in a whiskey tasting, but if you simply cant resist until then we can arrange a private tutored tasting for you also. Be our guest, taste Ireland’s finest triple distilled Irish Whiskey, enjoy a leisurely lunch and maybe pick up an exclusive gift. In short, savour an experience like no other.Contact Information

Restaurants & Bars
Our founder, John Jameson, was undoubtedly a man of many parts. Distiller, innovator, entrepreneur and, it's safe to say, someone who reveled in the company of others. Let's face it, you couldn't create something as sociable as a glass of good Irish whiskey without occasionally enjoying the craic yourself.
So it seems only right and proper that as well as celebrating his achievements at work, we also acknowledge his contribution to rest and play with a fresh daily menu 7 days a week. Located on the ground floor is our Malt house restaurant, famous for fresh, local specialties. Call now for lunch bookings on 021 4613594.

Tour Info:
From the 18th century to the 21st, let our expert guides lead you through the extraordinary story of Jameson Irish Whiskey. Look, listen and learn, not to mention have your palate tickled by the unmistakable taste of the Irish whiskey that’s triple distilled to be twice as smooth for one great taste.
From the comfort of your own shoes you’ll travel back in time and visit the magnificent courtyard where it’s easy to imagine the hustle and bustle of harvest times gone by, when local farmers would arrive with horse-drawn carts piled high with sacks of grain ready to sell to the distillery. You can step back in time and follow the path that leads to the old Distiller’s cottage. And you can marvel at the giant waterwheel which, once upon a time, powered all the distillery machinery and which still turns cogs and wheels in the Mill Building.
In the Brew House you’ll see the largest pot still in the world (who else do you know who can make that claim to fame?), while at The Old Cooperage the distillery's past is quite literally at your fingertips. And to add the finishing touch what could be better than a whiskey tasting session in the Jameson Bar?
