With the cold wet weather being the talk of the town over the last few days, here’s something to lift your spirits this weekend - the “Jameson Distillery on Tour”.
As such, why not ensure you have your winter wear on and go experience this event, which is back after a long break thanks to Covid-19 putting the kibosh into most outdoors events.
The tour returns with a new and improved experience, inviting all Jameson lovers to explore the famous distillery from Bow Street, Dublin, with a South African touch.
Marketing Activation Manager on Jameson Irish Whiskey, Sheila Chisina said: “We are super excited to be bringing back the Jameson Distillery on Tour to Joburg following an incredibly successful stint in Cape Town in December last year.
“We pride ourselves in the rich history of our brand and want to share the over 240-year heritage with those who have supported us along the way.
“This experience in many ways brings together kindred spirits from all walks of life to learn about our whiskey and have fun while doing so.”
Along with the whiskey tasting experience, guests can enjoy the variety of sensorial experiences from a number of options on offer from May 18 - 28 at Hyde ark Corner, Sandton.
The event will see patrons be introduced to a whiskey tasting experience hosted by Jameson Brand Ambassador, Joe Human, entertainment by DBN Gogo, Kamo Mphela, Kabza de Small, Ami Faku, MFR Souls, Fiflaaa, JazziQ, Vinny & Christos, and many others on different days.
