Drinking is part of the Filipino culture. A wide forray of spirits are usually available at every gathering and Filipinos usually drink to bond with friends and family, to socialize and build connections.

So Jameson definitely landed at the perfect spot as their Distillery on Tour finally made its way for the first time in Manila.

From Dublin to New York, to South Africa, and now Manila – the award-winning Jameson Distillery on Tour finds its way for the first time in Asia, right in the heart of bustling Bonifacio Global City at the Fort Strip. Setting up shop last November 18, 2022 and staying until January 7, 2023, you can get transported to the very place Jameson was first distilled in 1780 – Dublin. The interactive experience explores the Irish whiskey’s legendary story, heritage, and signature smooth taste.

The Distillery on Tour welcomes you into a special tasting journey, which begins with a 30-minute multi-sensory experience led by knowledgeable brand ambassadors. We were guided into a one-of-a-kind storytelling of how Jameson was created, distilled, bottled, and enjoyed.

We won’t spoil you much on the details but it was insightful to know how Jameson whiskey came about and how each stage and process affects its taste.

Once we’re done learning about the history and process of making Jameson whiskey, we were then led upstairs for the tasting session where we got the multi-sensory experience of exploring this Irish whiskey’s taste and what sets it apart from other whiskeys.

With each sniff, swirl and sip, you can really notice the dinstinction which makes me realize that Jameson might be the best whiskey for Filipinos because of its slightly sweet taste.

After the tasting session, you can get to enjoy Jameson Ginger & Lime, the signature drink that has truly become a crowd favorite. 

Within the experience is an array of activities such as live barrel paintings, foosball, Giant Jenga, and many more. You can also purchase your bottles and have your name engraved on-site. Look forward as well to the special edition shirts featuring a collaboration with local streetwear maven, Skoop. 

So take your crew with you and experience Irish whiskey like never before at the Jameson Distillery On Tour! Groove with unforgettable performances together with your friends, and most of all, enjoy smooth-tasting moments that only Jameson can deliver.
