Jameson Black Barrel

Jameson Black Barrel is a blend of pot still and grain whiskey delivering that signature Jameson smoothness. In addition to this pot still and grain whiskey component however, Jameson Black Barrel also contains a small batch of grain whiskey made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley distilled in a column still producing a lighter, sweeter spirit. The blend is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex sherry casks with an aliquot of that spirit matured in American oak barrels which have undergone an additional intense char. This results in a whiskey with even richer flavors of spice, nutty notes and vanilla sweetness, while the sherry casks add sherry fruit flavors. The added time in deeply charred barrels give this whiskey an intensely long finish.

Jameson Black Barrel’s bottle may have changed but the liquid inside has stayed the same, delivering spice, nutty notes, vanilla sweetness and sherry fruit flavors with an intensely bold finish.

John Jameson himself was a living embodiment of Sine Metu, and his ancestors’ bravery inspired in John a boldness that led him not only to open his own distillery in the latter 18th century but also to pioneer the technique of triple-distilling whiskey — now the gold standard in the Irish whiskey industry. John Jameson lived to be 83 — an impressive feat for someone born in the 18th century — and his descendants John II, John III, and John IV all honored his legacy by leading the distillery well into the 20th century.

This whiskey earned a score of 94 points from the Beverage Testing Institute and Wine Enthusiast.
