Jameson Distillery Midleton, Midleton

Great place to visit. Tour was very interesting and informative. Amazing look at old machinery still in working condition. Premium tasting experience worth the extra cost. Very popular so parking is at a premium while renovations are taking place so get there early.

The distillery buildings are fascinating and are well worth a visit. The only reason that 4 stars are being given instead of 5 is down to the guide who conducted the tour and who gave the tour a very rushed feeling, not leaving a whole lot of time to read the various notices and information boards or take pictures. If you did happen to drop back a bit, the guide started the explanation of the next area of the tour without ensuring that the whole group was there. I was translating for a friend who didn't speak English and we lost a lot of context due to the rushing around. There is no provision made for non natives. Other than that as mentioned, lovely place steeped in history and worth a visit.
