Jameson Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

On the nose, inviting barley sweetness with ripe stewed fruits, fudge and caramel, hints of green apples. Followed by aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and subtle floral notes from the virgin oak casks. On the palate, the virgin wood brings gingery notes, with hints of white pepper and some oak tannins. After the initial grainy edge, orange peels, lemons and apples follow. Flavours of darker notes of toffee and chocolate come forward, followed by vanilla and cinnamon. Flashes of plums and peaches throughout. To finish, medium long, dark cocoa, espresso, oak spice and with vanilla lime cream leaving a warming aftertaste.

The fame of Jameson Irish whiskey built up in the 18th and 19th century relied on one specific profile: single pot still whiskey. It became the signature style of Irish whiskey. A mash bill of malted and un-malted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills, at a single distillery. Now Jameson revived this profile and created a Jameson whiskey that contains only pot still spirit. Jameson Single Pot Still comes at 46% ABV, which is good news. A complex recipe deserves a bit of oomph to make it stand out. This Five Oak Cask release is matured  in a combination of  three different types of virgin oak (Irish, European and American), in addition to ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.

The best selling Irish whiskey in the world, Jameson is produced at Midleton distillery in Cork. This famous blend is made with Irish single pot still and grain whiskeys, with tasty variants such as Black Barrel and an 18 year old available.

The Jameson story began back in 1780 when Scottish businessman John Jameson purchased the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin. It wasn't long before his chief brand, Jameson Irish Whiskey, would become internationally popular. The Bow Street distillery was previously producing around 30,000 gallons annually but by the turn of the nineteenth century the distillery was producing over a million gallons. John Jameson was keen to produce the best product possible, sourcing the finest ingredients. Furthermore, John triple distilled his product when most others were double distilled; he believed this produced a smoother product. During the early nineteenth century, John Jameson’s son, John II, expanded the facilities which were, by this time, among the largest in Ireland. John II’s son John III further expanded the brand and when his son John IV came to power at the helm of the Jameson brand, he found himself in charge of a global brand.
