I took a few hours off on Friday and went to the Jameson Distillery with Lindsay and Scott. The actual distillery is now in County Cork where it moved in 1971. The tour is located where the old distillery used to be in Dublin.
The tour is a very good one, you learn a lot about the distillation process, and they let you sample some of the whiskey at the end. The tour is understandably "Irish-centric" and takes some gentle jabs at Scotch and American whiskeys. At the end of the tour eight lucky volunteers (Lindsay was one) get to sample Jameson against a Scotch (Johnnie Walker Black) and what they told us is the world's best selling whiskey, Jack Daniels. All eight of the volunteers voted for Jameson as their favorite. If you do the tour, make sure to raise your hand quickly when they ask for volunteers!
