New Jameson Distillery Tour Dublin Ireland

When I think of Dublin, Jameson Whiskey is one of the iconic things that come to mind. This is my second visit to the Jameson Distillery and I have to say that I didn't find the new tour to be half as interesting as the one I took two years ago. 

It is totally different, no longer do you see a video introducing you to the history of Jameson's Whiskey, you don't get to walk around in the building and you don't really see anything to do with the production. I realize the Irish whiskey hasn't been distilled here in a while but making it into an interactive show didn't have nearly the same impact as the old tour. 

Now you are escorted by a guide through the process in two rooms and though our guide was charming and knowledgeable I was unimpressed and felt the price of the tour, calling it a tour is not accurate it was a demonstration, was way too high. I was excited to do it again. This tour I would never do again and I see little reason to recommend it other than getting to compare the three shots of whiskey and your free drink afterward. 

Several other distilleries in Dublin are now welcoming visitors. I have not visited those distilleries but I am thinking that perhaps they would be a better idea. Jameson Distillery, you have lost a fan.
