Dublin - Day 2 (last day of the trip!)

We woke up to our last day in Dublin, our last day on our trip, to have an Irish breakfast with Amanda in our hotel before heading to the Jameson factory for a tour. 11 a.m. may seem a little early for Jameson but we were in Ireland! 



Much like the Guinness tour, the Jameson tour focused on the quality of the ingredients of the whiskey.


And Jameson is famous for it's triple distillation...



After the tour, they had four guys and four ladies do a taste test. Chris and Amanda were both picked to do the taste test!


The taste test included the most popular American whiskey (Jack Daniels), the most popular Scotch whiskey (Johnnie Walker) and, of course, Jameson.  After the test, they asked the group which drink they liked the most.  Everyone in the group picked Jameson except for Chris and Amanda.  Chris chose Johnnie Walker and Amanda chose Jack Daniels.



Kate got a her free Jameson and mixed it with Seven-up!


After the Jameson, we went out for one final meal of the trip: fish and chips and Shepard's pie with Guinness.  Delicious.


After lunch, Chris and Kate headed off to the airport for our 5-hour flight home while Amanda jumped on a tourist bus to see more of Dublin before heading back to Scotland later that evening.  We were so glad that Amanda was able to come be tourists with us in Dublin! What a great way to end an amazing trip.
