Review & FAQ:

The Old Jameson Distillery is a famous tourist attraction for whiskey lovers and aficionados. Established in 1780 and formerly called the Bow Street Distillery, the Old Jameson Distillery is located just off Smithfield Square and is the original site where whiskey was distilled for the city. After a challenging period that included the American Prohibition and the introduction of Scotch blended whiskey, the Old Jameson Distillery began to struggle. It was one of the last distilleries in Ireland to close in 1971. Today, the distillery is an inviting visitor’s center that offers guided tours and whiskey tastings, a casual restaurant and bar, and a gift shop.
