Dublin’s Jameson Distillery has beat competition from Macallan, Hennessey, Jack Daniels and Jose Cuervo at the 2020 World Travel Awards, known as the ‘Oscars of the travel industry’, to take home the prestigious World’s Leading Distillery Tour award.
Jameson is the world’s best-selling Irish whiskey and its Bow Street distillery in Dublin has been welcoming visitors since 1760.
The award-winning distillery tour includes a premium whiskey tasting in John Jameson’s secret office, cocktail making and whiskey blending masterclasses, and the opportunity to draw and taste whiskey straight from a cask in Dublin’s only live maturation warehouse.
Over the years, Jameson Distillery has welcomed millions of visitors to discover the story, skill and secrets behind their distinctly smooth golden elixir.
Commenting on the award, Greg Hughes, managing director of Jameson Brand Homes at Irish Distillers, said: “We are extremely honoured to be awarded this very special accolade, which is voted for by travel and tourism professionals and consumers worldwide.
“To win three years in a row is incredible and, given the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the disruption that the travel and tourism industries have faced globally, this acknowledgement is particularly special this year.”
