Learn by tasting as part of your tour
There are many grades of whiskey and as part of your tour you will be able to not only learn about the processes of how they develop each grade, but you will also be able to taste and compare each of them.
It is a really informative tour for both whiskey fans and those who are less into the hard stuff.
There are tricks to make whiskey more palatable for those who might struggle with the neat taste, with water drops added to dilute things slightly or tempering the drink with additional flavours like ginger.
The Jameson Distillery it is safe to say is a great experience and a definite must-see for everyone who decides to travel to Dublin. The staff are friendly & proud ambassadors for their brand, the atmosphere is fun and, thankfully given how much we like whiskey at Globedge, the drinks taste great!
