Description

In the early years at Jameson, our unused barrels were left exposed to the elements in the courtyard of our distillery. When the time came to fill those barrels with whiskey, our coopers would invigorate them with a quick char. But what started as upkeep proved to have a nice effect on the whiskey that rested within. Whiskey that has spent time in double charred barrels carries an untold richness and complexity. Matured in a combination of American oak, sherry casks and double charred bourbon barrels, Jameson Black Barrel is a blend of ‘small batch’ grain and traditional Irish pot still whiskeys. Rich flavors of fruit, toasted wood, warm spice and vanilla sweetness, the double charring delivers an embellished finish. The end result – a fitting tribute to double charring and the fearless coopers who uncovered it.

In 1780, John Jameson established an approach to whiskey making that we’ve been proudly sticking to ever since. We’ve got a lot of stories to tell, but you probably don’t have centuries to spare so we’ve made a long story short. Our family motto is never far from the action, but we distilled over 200 years of craft, courage and smooth whiskey down to two things – people and process.
