Old Midleton Distillery

Midleton, County Cork

An historic distillery located near Midleton, County Cork

On the banks of the Dungourney River, The Old Distillery, Midleton stands. It is a distillery steeped in history. Step through our doors and you will take a step back in time. Carts piled high with sacks of grain. The smell of malted barley drying in closed kilns. The largest pot still in the world. And of course, the finest of Irish Whiskey. A tour of The Old Midleton Distillery is unlike any tour you've ever been on before. It is much more a path of discovery. One which will take you through the magnificent courtyard area, evoking the atmosphere of harvest time with farmers arriving with horses and carts piled high with sacks of grain ready to sell to the Distillery. Take the path to the Distiller's cottage. See the giant waterwheel which at one stage powered all of the distillery machinery, and today still turns the cogs and wheels in the Mill Building. In the Brew House you will see the largest pot still in the World. While at The Old Cooperage you can literally touch the Distillery's resonant past. Then complete the experience in the only way possible with a well earned whiskey tasting session in the Jameson Bar!
