Per one customer who booked the Cork Midleton Distillery Jameson Experience & Whiskey Tasting, "This was a really lovely experience, great for a group. The tour was 50 minutes long and kept us all moving and active, which was nice, and it was easy to hear and understand. The tasting at the end was a good broad sample, and I appreciated the cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks at the end of the tour for drivers! During the holidays, there are plenty of decorations which make it quite festive as well. Worth the drive from Cork!"
