The Jameson Experience, Midleton, (also known as the Old Midleton Distillery) is an Irish whiskey museum and visitor centre. The Old Midleton Distillery in which the Jameson Experience is located began life as a woollen mill, before being converted to a military barracks and subsequently a distillery in 1825. It is the result of the consolidated operations of three former whiskey-making rivals, John Jameson & Son, John Powers & Son, and Cork Distilleries Company (owners of the Midlelton Distillery), who came together to form Irish Distillers in 1966. The Jameson Distillery is close to my heart. I personally have done the tour where you can do a Jameson tasting of the different flavours and what I like most (and think everyone will enjoy) is that the barley is locally grown in Ireland, and the water comes from the Dungourney River, just down the road which also flows through the distillery.
