Jameson Irish Whiskey is crafted from a mash of malted and unmalted barley that is triple-distilled — just as it was by John Jameson himself centuries ago — through three separate copper-pot stills: a wash still, a feint still and, finally, a spirit still. The mash itself is made using barley, maize and pure Irish water, further adding to the unique character of the whiskey.Jameson Original Irish Whiskey is a blend of pot still and fine grain whiskeys that have been aged for a minimum of 4 years. The whiskey is aged in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks to add spicy and sweet notes.Jameson Original Irish Whiskey is slightly floral on the nose with hints of spicy sweetness, which leads to a palate of spicy caramel notes combined with subtle notes of vanilla and almonds. The finish is smooth with notes of sherry and sweet fruit.
