This is a very good taste dark chocolate. Nevertheless, the price is not competitive (around 2 EUR in normal shops and 2.45 EUR at Jameson old distillery, for 64 grams!).

This is a good truffle with Jameson Whiskey. Nevertheless, I prefer the jameson irish coffee dark chocolate (see next post).

I tasted hot chocolate with Jameson. Unfortunatey, it was not the kind of chocolate that I was expecting. It was a kind of "cola-cao". Next time I will taste the irish coffee...

The regular tour includes a sample of Jameson. In addition, they ask for 8 volunteers. Fortunately, I was among them. If you are not selected, you can take part in this tasting paying and additional fee of 8.5 EUR (or something like this).
For this price you taste three different whiskeys:

• Johny walker 12 years (Scotish)
• Jameson (Irish)
• Jack Daniels (American)

Of course, I selected Jameson. It was the smoothest one, I like it, and I do not like too much the other ones. Another history would be if the american selected one were Four roses (yes, I know that Jack Daniels is more expensive, but I prefer four roses) or a single malt scotish whiskey, which unfortunately is more expensive.
this is the best way to compare, the kind of tastings that I enjoy: several glasses in parallel :-)
Nevertheless, I prefer brandy/cognac/armagnac to whiskey

at the end you receive a diploma:

This is a nice touristic attraction in Dublin. In my opinion, the guided visit is more interesting than the guiness one. If you do not plan to visit Dublin, you can follow the virtual tour. For instance, you will learn that irish whiskey is distilled three times, amerian bourbon two, and scotish whiskey is a single distillation one. Worth to visit!

This is Irish whiskey. In my opinion it is more smoked than jameson. Thus, it is more scottish style. I prefer Jameson, which is smoother.
