About

The beating heart of Irish whiskey — where Jameson, Redbreast, and Midleton Very Rare are made. Step inside 200 years of heritage on a working 15-acre distillery campus.

Things to Do

Midleton Distillery Experience (Flagship Tour)

A 75-minute guided walk through the original distillery buildings, a short film, and a tasting of three whiskeys. You'll see the world's largest pot still, the micro-distillery, and a live maturation warehouse. Includes a complimentary Jameson or Redbreast drink at the Signature Bar.
