Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish Whiskey.
What’s that we hear you say? Well first we take the best of pot still and fine grain whiskeys. Then we triple distil them-not because we have to because we want to as it gives it its signature smoothness. Finally, we age them in oak casks for a minimum of 4 years. It’s where we recommend starting your whiskey journey. How to drink it? Any way you like. Just add mates and widen the circle.

Distillery History:
The Jameson Distillery has a rich history that dates back to 1780 when John Jameson established the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin, Ireland. The distillery quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality Irish whiskey, and over the years, it became one of the most iconic whiskey brands in the world. John Jameson, a Scottish lawyer, purchased the distillery, which was previously used to make silk. He saw great potential in Irish whiskey and set out to create a distinctive spirit that would be known for its smoothness and exceptional quality. Jameson's vision was to produce whiskey using the finest ingredients and traditional distillation methods. Under John Jameson's guidance, the Bow Street Distillery flourished, and the Jameson brand began to gain recognition both locally and internationally. The distillery's success was attributed to its unique triple distillation process, where the whiskey was distilled three times to achieve a smoother and purer spirit.
In the 19th century, Jameson whiskey enjoyed significant success and became the world's leading whiskey brand. The distillery expanded its operations and built a strong reputation for producing consistent and high-quality whiskey. However, in the early 20th century, Ireland's whiskey industry faced a series of challenges, including political turmoil, trade wars, and prohibition in key markets. These factors led to a decline in the Irish whiskey industry, and many distilleries, including Jameson, struggled to survive. In the mid-1970s, the Bow Street Distillery ceased production, and the Jameson brand was consolidated with two other Irish whiskey distilleries, John Power & Son and Cork Distilleries Company, to form the Irish Distillers Limited. The production of Jameson whiskey was moved to the New Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland, where it continues to be produced to this day. Despite the closure of the original Bow Street Distillery, its legacy lives on through the Jameson Distillery Bow St. in Dublin. The distillery's historic buildings were transformed into a visitor center, offering tours and immersive experiences that showcase the history, heritage, and craftsmanship of Jameson whiskey.
Today, Jameson is recognized as one of the leading Irish whiskey brands worldwide, known for its smoothness, distinctive flavor profile, and commitment to quality. It continues to be enjoyed by whiskey enthusiasts and is a symbol of Ireland's rich whiskey-making heritage.
