Pro tips to help you make a pick

As Dublin’s premier whiskey attraction, weekend slots (especially between 1pm and 5pm) often sell out days in advance. To ensure you get your preferred time, book at least three days ahead. If you are a walk-in, your best chance for a spot is before 11:30am on a weekday.

The standard tour is excellent for beginners, but if you are an enthusiast, look for the ‘Bow St. Experience & Cask Draw’ option. This 60-minute extended version allows you to visit the Maturation Warehouse and taste whiskey directly from a live maturation cask—an experience not included in the base ticket.

If you are the designated driver or simply don’t drink, don't skip the tour! Jameson offers a Non-Alcoholic ticket (typically €15). You still get the full 45-minute immersive history and "Grain to Glass" story, but your tastings and signature drink are replaced with premium non-alcoholic alternatives.

If you plan on using the DoDublin Hop-on Hop-off bus to get around, always buy the combo ticket. Not only does the bus drop you at Stop 23 (directly outside the distillery), but the bundle automatically saves you 5% compared to buying the tickets separately.

While the majority of tours are led by live English-speaking ambassadors, Jameson does offer French and German audio-guide style tours at specific times. If English isn't your first language, check the booking calendar specifically for these language icons to ensure you get the most out of the "Grain to Glass" storytelling.

Did you know?

Jameson Distillery Bow St. was founded in 1780 by John Jameson, a Scottish lawyer who became a whiskey pioneer in Dublin.

The distillery once spanned nearly five acres in the Smithfield district, making it one of the largest in 19th-century Dublin.

Production at Bow Street ended in 1971, with all whiskey-making moving to Midleton Distillery in County Cork.

The Bow St. site reopened as a visitor experience in 1997, preserving original industrial features and whiskey-making artefacts.

Jameson whiskey is triple-distilled, a process that gives it a smoother flavour compared to many Scotch whiskies.

Why visit Jameson Distillery?

Historic whiskey birthplace

Walk through the original 1780 distillery where Jameson whiskey’s story began, surrounded by authentic architecture and heritage displays.

Immersive guided tours

Experience engaging storytelling and interactive exhibits that reveal the secrets of Irish whiskey production, from grain to glass.

Comparative whiskey tastings

Sample and compare Irish, Scotch, and American whiskeys in expertly led tasting sessions, deepening your appreciation for each style.

Hands-on blending & cocktail classes

Get creative with whiskey blending workshops or cocktail-making classes, adding a personal touch to your distillery visit.

Exclusive distillery bar & shop

Relax at JJ’s Bar with signature whiskey cocktails and browse the gift shop for limited-edition bottles and unique souvenirs only found at Bow St.

Great, friendly welcome in beautiful premises. The bars were stylish and the drink we got to start with was a good way to begin our tour. Our guide was infectiously happy, competent and made the experience flow from start to finish. The taste and smell experiences were "a good spice" to the story telling and the experience. We were thrilled, to say it the least, and would definitely recommend this experience to friends and acquaintances who are going to Dublin!

We wasn't sure what to expect but we had the best time, from the friendly staff, the STOUTIE, the panoramic views from the 7th floor and leaning about the history and the smells in the tasting room...I even braved trying my first ever Guinness. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Jameson's best docent. I've toured many distilleries, but never met someone this passionate. Truly the best tour. Every visitor to Ireland should take James' tour. His narration resembles that of a musical actor. The best choice: Jameson.
