The story
The Jameson brand originates from the historic business founded by John Jameson on Bow St., Dublin; the brand dates back to 1780. After mergers and industry reorganizations, production was consolidated at the Midleton site (County Cork). Since 1988 Jameson has been part of the Pernod Ricard group through its subsidiary Irish Distillers.
Production philosophy
Jameson emphasizes the tradition of Irish whiskey, highlighting the smoothness achieved through triple distillation, the quality of raw materials and integrated control of the production process from grain to glass.
Territory
Origins in Dublin (Bow St.) with consolidated production in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland.
Production method
Produced by triple distillation using malt and grain distillates; maturation takes place in selected casks and the different distillates are blended by the blenders to ensure consistency of flavour.
Distillation
Triple distillation (in copper pot stills and group production facilities), with blending/marrying of the distillates.
Ageing
Maturation in oak casks; use of ex-bourbon American oak barrels and ex-oloroso sherry casks for the selection of casks destined for blending.
