The Old Midleton Distillery in which the Jameson Experience is located began life as a woollen mill, before being converted to a military barracks and subsequently a distillery in 1825. The distillery operated until 1975, when a new distillery was constructed alongside it to house the consolidated operations of three former whiskey-making rivals, <a href="/facts/Jameson_Irish_Whiskey/f8NNpGrP">John Jameson & Son</a>, <a href="/facts/Powers_(whiskey)/5PUPBKzW">John Powers & Son</a>, and <a href="/facts/Cork_Distilleries_Company/IdUDljkz">Cork Distilleries Company</a> (owners of the Midlelton Distillery), who had come together to form <a href="/facts/Irish_Distillers/UBMGsc9B">Irish Distillers</a> in 1966. It now houses a visitor centre, a restaurant, and a gift shop.
