Jameson Distillery: Black Barrel Whiskey Blending Class

About this experience

This ticket admits one guest to the Jameson Distillery Black Barrel Whiskey Blending Class, a 90-minute hands-on session held at the Bow Street distillery in Dublin. Trained distillers lead participants through the craft of whiskey blending, explaining the techniques behind the Jameson Black Barrel expression, a double-charred whiskey finished in heavily charred bourbon barrels to produce a notably smooth, sweet character. It is one of the more structured whiskey experiences available among things to do in Dublin for those with a genuine interest in production craft rather than a general tasting. The session takes place in the dedicated Blending Room, where the distillery's trained hosts guide guests through the sensory and technical decisions made at each stage of blending. Participants work with component whiskeys to construct their own Black Barrel blend. During the class, a tasting of cask strength Jameson Black Barrel is served on site by the host, giving participants a direct reference point for the finished product. A guided tour of the distillery is not part of this booking. The venue has full wheelchair access, and tickets are available across multiple timeslots with free cancellation up to the start of the chosen session. Alcohol is not sold through this listing. Any tasting is served on site by the operator to guests of legal drinking age.
