“Very short and underwhelming experience. Took about 30-45 minutes and didn't get much of a history or tasting as I expected. the Johnnie Walker experience in Scotland was much better done, going in depth on the history the creation, and multiple drinks and tastings of various ways to enjoy the drink, but not here at jameson. They gave you one drink, a small tasting of a few options, a spark notes version of their history and overview on distilling process and that was that, bye-bye, go home.”
