Jameson blended Irish Whiskey is distilled at New Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. It is the best-selling Irish whiskey in the world, and is available to buy in over 130 countries.
John Jameson founded Jameson Distillery in Dublin in 1780. Originally a lawyer from Scotland, John begun distilling in Bow Street in Dublin. John Jameson's commitment and dedication to producing high-quality whiskey undoubtedly formed the foundation for the brand's success. One of John's four sons, John II, who took over the business in 1805. His son, John III, took up ownership in 1851.
Over the years, Jameson became known for its triple-distillation process, which contributed to the smooth and mellow character of its whiskey. The Bow Street Distillery grew in size and reputation, becoming one of the largest and most influential distilleries in Ireland.
In 1966, Jameson joined forces with Cork Distillers and John Powers, creating the Irish Distillers Group. By 1975, the decision was made to halt operations at Bow Street and relocate to the New Midleton Distillery.
Jameson Caskmate aims to highlight the influences in flavour gained using different types of casks. After the success of the Stout cask edition, the distillery sourced casks that had previously held IPA, filling them with Jameson spirit for further maturation.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Floral, herbal hops and grapefruit citrus notes. With subtle orchard fruits, complemented by wood shavings and a little nuttiness.
Palate - Hops and light citrus. With sweet herbal notes and delicate spicy tones.
Finish - The lingering fresh fruit and hops give way to grains of barley. With a signature soft finish.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
