Smithfield Village is the heart of Old Dublin and right here you'll find the Old Jameson Distillery. Irish whiskey dates back to the 6th Century when Irish monks learned of the distillation process on a trip to the Middle East. As a result the craft of Irish whiskey making or "Uisce Beatha" meaning "water of life" was born. A tour of the Jameson Distillery is well worthwhile, you can experience the malting, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation and bottling processes first hand, followed by some whiskey tasting.
Dating back to 1780, the Old Jameson Distillery is located in Bow Street Distillery, Smithfield, Dublin. It's a unique tour of its kind and is one of the top visitor attractions in Dublin city.
