After the pubs, it is the turn of Jameson distilleries to reopen to the public, after three months closed due to the pandemic.
The Bow Street distilleries in Dublin and Middleton, County Cork, will once again receive visitors this week, starting on July 13th, but with reduced capacity to guarantee social distance.
Visits can be scheduled through this website.
The Bow Street distillery in Dublin was founded in 1780 by John Jameson and was one of those that survived the longest during the decline of 20th century whiskey. In 1971, all production was moved to Middleton distillery in Cork. , which today is the largest in Ireland, producing around 64 million liters of whiskey per year.
