The Jameson Distillery Midleton is a renowned Irish whiskey distillery located in the town of Midleton, County Cork, Ireland. Founded in 1825, it has been producing high-quality whiskey for nearly two centuries and is now the largest distillery in Ireland.
The distillery is named after John Jameson, who established the Jameson brand in Dublin in 1780. In 1966, Jameson merged with two other Irish whiskey distilleries to form Irish Distillers Limited, and the company moved its operations to Midleton. Since then, the Jameson Distillery Midleton has become the primary producer of Jameson whiskey, as well as other well-known Irish whiskey brands such as Redbreast, Powers, and Green Spot.
