5.00Brian was our guide for two hours on the behind the scenes tour and tasting. He was excellent: informative, fun, and spoke clearly with great history. I went for the whiskey but found myself immersed in the process of whisky making through Brian’s eyes. He really knows his stuff!! Worth the price for the two hour plus tour and tastings of some excellent Jameson whiskeys!!
Superb afternoon at the Midleton Distillery

5.00Micheal our tour guide was the kindest and most enthusiastic guide, and really made the experience so much fun. It was incredibly interesting, you learn so much - and not int he boring old fashioned way we would at school, there's so much to take in and learn about. The way the buildings are kept is admirable, the grounds are so tidy and neat, again, kept really well. The staff on reception and the bar and the were super friendly and accommodating. Overall this was a 10/10 experience, I'd recommend everyone and anyone do this. As someone who doesn't drink whiskey there wasn't any pressure to do the tasting either at the end which was really nice (I bought tickets as a gift and tagged along)
Unique Experience

5.00The tour was very thorough and well planned. This is not a working distillery so this was a historical tour. The premium whiskey tasting was great!

5.00We did the behind-the-scenes tour. After a half a dozen or so other distillery tours, this was far and away the best experience we've had. Brian, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and entertaining, the tour was fantastic value, and the location is simply stunning. Well worth going out of your way for; we had traveled from Dublin specially for the tour, and don't regret a second of it!
Enjoyable tasting

4.00We did the luxury tasting and enjoyed it. They provide 4 different products and each was different. The guide gave good information on each one. After the tasting we wondered around the shop.
