Jameson is a premium Irish Whiskey with an Irish character – light-hearted, confident with an independent spirit and an incredibly smooth taste. Triple distilled and twice as smooth with one great taste.
Triple distillation is what makes Jameson unique to American Whiskeys, which are typically only distilled once and Scotch whiskies, which are usually distilled twice. This tradition began in 1780 with the Great Master Distiller John Jameson, who worked out that three distillations was best for Jameson Irish Whiskey.
Whiskey is triple distilled to deliver twice the smoothness. But there is a little more to this precise craft - it's about getting the perfect balance right; the balance between just the right amount of malted and un-malted barley to give a natural barley flavor. Plus balancing the exact proportions of triple distilled Pot Still Whiskeys and then triple distilled Grain Whiskeys to deliver exceptional smoothness and balancing the sweet, nutty flavor from Sherry casks with the toasted wood and vanilla notes from Bourbon casks.
Not just a whiskey from one Single Distillery, Jameson is the world's Number one Irish Whiskey. Jameson Irish Whiskey has one great taste. Enjoy it as you like - neat, on the rocks or mixed in a long drink or cocktail.
