Some more ethanol

After this post you might be getting the impression that we have some kind of alcohol problem especially considering older Ireland posts, but I have to assure you, it is the Irish' fault, not ours! It's their idea to build half of their tourism around alcohol, we just did our job visiting all the important attractions of the city. Now that this is clear, I give you:

The Jameson distillery museum!  

Unlike the Guinness Brewery the actual factory is not located in Dublin anymore, but somewhere else in Ireland (that is probably less expensive than the MIDDLE of the capital...). How cool is the lamp in the picture above, by the way? (and if you are enough of an alcoholic or have a couple of years you can make one yourself!).

The exposition was quite interesting. They showed how the distillery worked back in the day and even had an entertaining (and unexpectedly well done) video about it.

Of course the also explained how they produce the whiskey today. Since I tend not to have a clue about the different kinds of alcohol, this was quite instructive for me (We learned about the varying types of whiskey and why they taste and look different).

.At the end of the tour I even obtained a certificate as qualified Irish whiskey taster, which is more that I ever expected to get as a non-drinker... Good night!
