Ltd. whiskey was distilled until the expansion of the distillery in 1975. The expansion was a result of the merger between three former whiskey-making rivals, Dublin Distillers Ltd., Cork Distillers Company and John Powers in 1966. It now houses a re-created visitor centre that provides tours, a restaurant called the Malt House Restaurant, and a gift shop. As of May 2014, adult ticket prices are €14 and include a glass of Jameson Whiskey or a Jameson cocktail (Jameson Ginger & Lime) at the Jameson Bar. Under 18’s receive a soft drink after the tour. Tours take approximately 1 hour and are scheduled according to the season. Winter is November to March and the tour times are: 11.30, 13.15, 14.30 and 16.00hrs. Summer is April to October and the tours run every 20 minutes between 10.00 and 16.30 hrs. == History == Following a difficult period that included American Prohibition, Ireland’s trade war with Great Britain, and the introduction of Scottish blended whisky, the Jameson distillery in Dublin fell on hard times and decided to form the Irish Distillers Group with their previous rivals, the Cork Distillers Company and John Powers in 1966. By 1971, a new distillery was built at Midleton alongside the old, which is the Jameson Experience today. Over a period of five years, all of the old distilleries closed as the new Midleton Distillery grew. The distillery underwent a €100 million expansion in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.irishdistillers.ie/our-company/irish-distillers-history.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jameson Experience, Midleton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
