What you see at Bow St.
You see the old Jameson Distillery in Smithfield, at Bow St., Dublin 7, and you taste a lot of whiskey. The listings do not promise that you watch whiskey being distilled.
The guided tour teaches how Irish whiskey is made, then pours a comparative tasting. The chocolate pairing takes place in what its listing calls Dublin's only live maturation warehouse.
Bow St. or Midleton?
Bow St. is the Jameson site in Dublin. The chocolate pairing pours four pot still whiskeys from Midleton Distillery, but we did not check visits to Midleton itself.
Distillery-only bottles
The guided tour gives you the option to buy a personalised bottle sold only at the distillery. The listing gives no price for it.
Jameson Bow St. prices and tickets
On GetYourGuide, Jameson tickets start from €31 for the guided tour and €40 for the secret tasting. Classes start from €60, and the chocolate pairing from €140.
We could not read Jameson's own site, so we show no official price here. Each ticket above books a set time on the listing.
Jameson or Guinness?
Pick Jameson for whiskey and Guinness for beer and a view. The Guinness and Jameson tour does both in about 4 hours.
Pairing whiskey with beer? Our Guinness Storehouse guide compares the tickets and the combo tours.
For a third distillery, Teeling's own site lists tastings from €22 for 50 minutes.
Before you book at Jameson
One experience a day
The secret tasting listing says you cannot do two Jameson experiences on the same day, because of the alcohol. The cocktail class cannot be combined with the guided tour.
Over-18s only for classes
The cocktail class, the blending class, the secret tasting and the chocolate pairing are not for under-18s or pregnant women.
Arrive 15 minutes early
The blending class and the chocolate pairing ask you to arrive 15 minutes before the start, to check in.
If your plans change
All six picks show free cancellation on GetYourGuide. Check the deadline on each listing.
An evening in Temple Bar
A private whiskey walk in Temple Bar can add the Jameson tasting tour. Our Temple Bar guide has it.
