With age comes beauty, and the Jameson 18 Year Old Limited Reserve Whiskey is no exception. The exceptionally balanced blend is mellow, complex with a lingering finale of wood, spice and toffee. The three beautifully matched whiskeys mature for at least 18 years in hand-selected American bourbon barrels and European oak casks. They complete their rite of passage and are finished in first-fill bourbon barrels.
Jameson Irish Whiskey is crafted from a mash of malted and unmalted barley that is triple-distilled — just as it was by John Jameson himself centuries ago — through three separate copper-pot stills: a wash still, feint still and finally a spirit still. The mash itself is made using barley, maise and pure Irish water, further adding to the unique character of the whiskey.
Wonderfully mellow and smooth, a mouthful of complex flavours – toffee, spice, hints of wood and leather, gentle sherry nuttiness and vanilla – with a long lingering finish that carries the theme of the wood, spice and toffee right through to the end.
The limited Jameson 18 Year Old Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey is best enjoyed when served over ice cubes.
