The distillery was founded in 1720 in the heart of Dublin. Okay, now, the old distillery is no longer a museum, it's been a few decades that the whiskey is distilled not here anymore. The visit is still very interesting and very serious. Luck for me, almost all information on the manufacture of whiskey is the same I remember GlenFiddish. For info, Jameson whiskey differs from Scotch Whisky by the lack of taste "smoke", this being due to the difference in the way of drying the barley.
Switty I present to you, it was the cat of the distillery, it seems he was formidable in the buildings of the distillery, it seems that even 'he managed to catch 20 mice in one day. In short, it was very appreciated there, so they have stuffed, and therefore, it is roughly 80 years it takes the dust up there! 
The end of the visit is of course a tasting of whiskey, they even offer a lot of whiskey in coctail (Coke, ginger, strawberry) which is is rather rare in a distillery. Some lucky (as Jan) have the chance to make a comparison between an American bourbon (distilled once), Jack Daniel, a Scotch whiskey (distilled twice), I remember that, and Irish whiskey (distilled three times ), a good old Jameson course. 
Go to complete a short tour through the shop, me Me, I found the bottles I wanted to buy (Dad, Mom?):
