Jameson is known for its premium, handcrafted spirits and the brand's Academy Experience goes beyond most whiskey tastings by offering an educational component. Teaching participants about how its products are made, Jameson invites them to visit its distillery in Midleton, Ireland and ensures they will leave more well versed in the art of whiskey making.
In addition to a distillery tour and warehouse visit, those signed up to the Academy Experience tour will also get a chance to learn more about the oak wood maturation process. Following a hands-on look at how Jameson's spirits are made, the brand hosts a premium tasting session, allowing participants to sample both new and vintage batches of its celebrated product.
