Jameson Irish Whiskey is taking its distillery tour on tour.

From August 26 to Sept. 7, the brand’s distillery tour will head from Dublin to New York City for a takeover of Hudson Yards.

Twenty-minute tours will run daily. The best part for New Yorkers? The tour is free. Anyone interested in taking a tour can book their time slot here.

For those who don’t commit to a time slot, the site will have limited availability for walkups.

Beyond the tour, Jameson will offer other pop-up experiences, including barrel building with Master Cooper, Ger Buckley; a Jameson Orange gelato truck; a pop-up shop; live music performances; cocktail classes with New York bartenders; a putting green; and photo opportunities.

The barrel building experience will allow guests folks to “feel the heat of the char, smell its vanilla notes and taste its unique flavor profile within a larger-than-life barrel,” according to Whiskey Reviewer.

The Jameson Distillery on Tour will be open daily to guests 21 and older from 12-5 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 12-8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Jameson also will celebrate Dublin and New York’s shared tradition of busking — or playing music in public for voluntary donations — by covering the cost of up to 1,000 permits for local musicians.

New York City entertainers can apply for “Busk on Us” starting August 25.
