A citywide drive through Cork and an in-depth look at the production of Jameson whiskey is the perfect way to spend a half day. Settle in for a narrated drive that travels down Merchant's Quay, St. Patrick's Street, Grand Parade and the Mall as your guides point out Cork's Georgian architecture. Drive past St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, a 19th-century Gothic Revival church built on the site of St. Fin Barre's original monastic settlement. After seeing the sights, continue to Midleton for a tour of the Jameson Experience. Begin with an audiovisual presentation on the history of John Jameson whiskey. Explore the distillery's historic buildings, restored equipment, photographs and dramatic re-creations. (A new distillery stands adjacent to the old.) Enjoy a guided tasting through three different varieties before concluding with a wee drop of Jameson's or a Barrelman's Punch and free time to explore the gift shop before returning to port.
