Alex was extremely knowledgeable, really engaging, and very funny! Can't recommend this experience enough, the tasting was incredible, and we learned a lot. Well worth the price. 10/10.

Alex was the absolute BEST!! She made the whole experience. Alex is so knowledgeable about all things Jameson and whiskey. She made the whole class interesting and it felt very personal. I am not sure how she remembered everyone's name. If you are on the fence, JUST BOOK THE CLASS!! You will not be disappointed!

I was never exactly destined for greatness in physics or chemistry, but thanks to the instructor’s enthusiasm, clear explanations, and generous supply of whiskey, I suddenly found myself fully committed to science! Learning how the different aromas, flavours, and components come together was genuinely fascinating, and creating my own blend was far more enjoyable than any experiment I attempted at school. The whole experience was fun, relaxed, and memorable & leaving with my own bottle was definitely the best result I’ve ever had from a practical class.

Dive into a 90-min hands-on whiskey blending masterclass, guided by a Jameson Craft Ambassador at the historic Bow St. Distillery.

Sample exclusive cask strength (60%+) whiskies—tastings not available anywhere else, reserved just for this experience.

Craft and bottle two unique 50ml whiskey blends to take home, using Jameson Black Barrel components.

Explore the secrets behind Jameson Black Barrel’s signature smoothness through a sensorial, in-depth tasting journey.

Enjoy a lively, interactive workshop atmosphere with plenty of expert tips and insider stories.
