Fantastic! - I loved the history of the distilling process and seeing the original building. The tour guide was very informative and did her best to keep us dry on an extremely wet day.

Fun experience! - I am not a big whiskey drinker but found this experience to be very delightful. Our guide (I think his name was Killian?) was excellent. I would highly recommend.

Had a wonderful time and learned so much! - My husband and I had a great time at our tour! We booked the Midleton Distillery Experience and Premium Whiskey tasting. The tour itself was so interesting and informative. It was so fun to see the historical aspects of the distillery, how they used to operate, learning the history of the brand overall, and learn more about whiskey than we ever knew! The Premium tasting was absolutely worth it, in a private room at a grand marble table, we were introduced to some of the finest whiskeys Jameson has to offer. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who likes whiskey!

Beautiful experience - Beautiful experience. You enter an almost magical atmosphere imagining every single step that leads to the production of this famous whisky. Really nice. Welcoming is impressive with hundreds of bottles on display with a really beautiful choreography and layout. Friendly staff, well kept the place cared for in detail. The only “flaw”? Too bad the guide is only in English. For a foreigner it is sometimes difficult to follow the speed with which they speak and explain. But overall a really nice experience.

Midleton Jameson Whiskeytour - The tour is very nice and definitely worth it and so is the tasting. Afterwards I bought a Whiskey at the shop only to later discover it's actually cheaper back in Denmark 😔

A mixed bag - The actual setting is fabulous, the setup and all the magic of whiskey making. The experience was broken into two parts, the first being the tour and the second the tasting. The actual tour I felt was rushed, there was a lot to see, but never got a opportunity to see it. It felt like we had to be moved on before the next group came behind us. The second part the whiskey tasting was a lot more fun, the host was very well informed and we had a bit of fun. The staff overall were very friendly and helpful. Overall worth doing it but I would question if the tour itself is worth the money.
