JAMESON DISTILLERY: THE WORLD’S MOST LOVED IRISH WHISKEY

History

Founded in 1780 by John Jameson, the Jameson Distillery began as a family-led operation in Dublin’s Bow Street. Built on John’s commitment to “Fearless Quality,” Jameson quickly became Ireland’s leading whiskey. Today, distilled in Midleton, County Cork, Jameson is the world’s best-selling Irish whiskey — a global symbol of smoothness, craftsmanship, and Irish heritage.

 


Distilling Process

Jameson is crafted using the iconic triple-distillation method, producing extraordinary smoothness. A blend of pot still whiskey and fine Irish grain whiskey, it matures in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, delivering a perfect balance of vanilla sweetness, toasted wood, spice, and gentle fruit. The Midleton Distillery is home to some of the largest copper pot stills in the world, preserving tradition at scale.

What Makes Jameson Unique and Revered

Jameson is the gold standard of approachability and balance. Triple distillation sets it apart from Scotch and American whiskey, giving it a signature silky mouthfeel.

The brand has expanded into premium expressions such as Black Barrel, Stout Edition, IPA Edition, Caskmates, and the celebrated Jameson 18 Year. Its versatility makes it perfect neat, in cocktails, or as the heart of an Irish Old Fashioned.
