Jameson 18 Year Old Triple Distilled Irish Whisky with Wooden Giftbox, 70cl

Product Information

Matured for 18 years in hand-selected oak casks from Europe and America, this rare whiskey is finished in first-fill bourbon barrels. This rite of passage introduces subtle traces of vanilla to an exceptionally balanced, mellow whiskey with a lingering finale of wood, spice and toffee. An elder statesman of our portfolio, each bottle of this unique whiskey is individually numbered.

So, when Malt asked if I would like to do a bit of writing, I was ecstatic! This is the parallel universe where people who are aggressively passionate about whisky meet. You might be judged for drinking whisky with soda, but no one will raise their eyebrows if you publicly declare your love for whisky. So here I am, with my first review on Malt. Let’s start strong (pun intended) with a cask strength whiskey from Ireland.

Recently, I encountered this task at work. When it comes to personal interests, what I really wanted to put down is whisky. But after seeing all the value-ridden hobbies listed by my colleagues, I hesitated. The fear of potential social judgement is real! Although I briefly considered making my whisky-drinking hobby sound more poetic (e.g., Alyssa enjoys the craftsmanship of Uisge Beatha), I decided not to mention it at all. 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, maize and pure Irish water, further adding to the unique character of the whiskey.

There's a wide variety for whisky lovers to choose from, including the Jameson stout edition from their popular Caskmates range. Born out of a collaboration between the whiskey giant and a local Cork brewery, this special edition is aged in stout-seasoned oak barrels for a truly unique taste. A similar partnership was formed with the Franciscan Well Brewery to produce their hoppy Jameson IPA. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Jameson 18 Years is made using a traditional Irish whiskey-making process. The three signature distillates are first aged separately in American and Spanish oak barrels for at least 18 years. The distillates are then married together in a fresh American oak barrel for at least 6 months. This final marrying period adds a unique complexity and elegance to the whiskey. What are the flavours of Jameson 18 Years? In the mouth: A liquid dessert! It has a creamy, oily mouthfeel. That chocolate note carries on to the palate. Caramel, hazelnut chocolate, citrus, macadamia-like milky nuttiness, and dark fruits. I can taste the wood influence – a bit of oakiness and leather – but they are well-integrated. A beautiful long finish, with lingering spiciness accompanied by sweetness. There’s a tad of bitterness near the very end. Overall, it’s full-bodied and well balanced. Conclusions:

Our World

Take some Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, distilled at Midleton, put it into some ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. Take some Single Grain Irish Whiskey, also distilled at Midleton, and put it into some ex-Bourbon casks. Then, after letting them age for a minimum of 18 years, blend them together and finish them in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks. The end result of that effort is the Jameson 18 Year Old Limited Reserve. These differences are not carved in stone; the Irish Whiskey Act of 1980 outlines only the broad parameters necessary to label a product “Irish” whiskey. Basically, it requires that whiskey be composed of grains (such as barley, wheat, corn, and rye), be distilled to no more than 94.8 percent alcohol, and be aged at least three years in wooden barrels. These guidelines leave producers a lot of leeway to define their styles.

Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. The blend is bottled at cask strength without the use of chill-filtration. The proof varies depending on the year of release. The 2018 batch (also the first release) was bottled at 55.3% ABV; the 2019 batch came to us 55.1% ABV. What disappoints me a little, though, is that there is no information about coloring (according to the Irish Whiskey Technical File, Point 4.1.5.2, E150a can be used in Irish whiskeys for coloring purposes prior to bottling). If Jameson is marketing it as a premium whiskey, I expect the label to contain, what I call, the basic three: age statement, use of filtration, and use of coloring. That’s the bare minimum.

Both Irish whiskey and Scotch whisky are grain-based spirits. Many modern Irish whiskeys are lighter or more accessible in style than their Scottish counterparts, thanks to the differences that have developed in distilling techniques. With a whiskey industry that prospered for hundreds of years, Ireland helped establish a taste for whiskey throughout the western world. Legendary producer Bushmills was issued what is now the oldest license to distill spirits in 1608, and within decades Ireland boasted more than 100 distilleries.
