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 Crested is a tribute to the first whiskey bottled by them back in 1963 when they re-took control of this aspect to ensure the spirit’s quality throughout the whole process. Before this, they outsourced bottling and standards reportedly slipped though through no fault of their own, the bottlers were cutting the spirit with water to make inferior spirit and a lot of money.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Vivid sherry pot still aroma.
Palate - Delicate sherry influence and toasted wood, with fruit, spice and chocolate notes.
Finish - Warm, lingering, sherry richness with a gentle feel.

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
