About us

Jameson Distillery Bow St. is the most celebrated address in Irish whiskey. A Dublin institution since 1780, and a centre piece of Smithfield. This year, Jameson became a top 10 global spirit brand, proudly achieving a huge milestone of distributing over 10 million cases across the globe. At our Visitor Experience in the heart of Dublin 7, the story of Jameson comes to life through our World’s Leading Distillery Tour, cocktail-making classes, premium whiskey tastings and blending classes. Each year we welcome thousands of visitors from all across the globe through our doors, where we connect our guests to our world class whiskey production process and deep-rooted history.

The job

The Operations Team plays a vital role at The Jameson Distillery, ensuring that every visitor experience runs smoothly.
