Irish whiskey producers generally use a mix of malted and unmalted barley for their mash bill – unlike the Scots, who use all malted barley – and these unmalted grains may enhance earthy, oily notes in the spirit. They generally dry the grains with ovens, instead of the Scots’ traditional peat fires, so with some exceptions Irish whiskeys don’t have the smoky aromas that characterize many scotch whiskies. Finally, Irish whiskeys are typically distilled three times, which is one more go-around than is usual for most scotch whiskies. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. This is a good blended Irish Whiskey. Plenty of sweet notes (sherry and dark sweets), earthy notes (roasted and copper) and fruity notes (orchard and banana) to keep things even and interesting. But I wish there was something more to it… I wish it was a bit more substantive. 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. Made the John Jameson way since 1780, the quintessential Jameson Irish whiskey is still produced at the Jameson distillery in Middleton, County Cork. This produces the brand’s signature smoothness and that is loved around the world.

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”). On the nose: Intense, with lots of ripe tropical fruits. I get banana walnut bread, rum raisin chocolate, toffee, lemon, honey, pineapple, and overripe melon. After it is exposed to air for a while, a light touch of perfumy notes and earl grey comes through. 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. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Second, a quintessential style of Irish whiskey is single pot still whiskey, which is made from a combination of malted and unmated barley (30% of each, at least) and produced in pot stills at a single distillery. That being said, a blended Irish whiskey could be blends of malt and grain whiskeys (just like blended Scotch whisky), or blends of single pot still and grain whiskeys, or blends of malt and single pot still whiskeys… Well, the combination is too complex for even multiple tweets. Let’s stop right here and not lose our Millennial crowd.

The Irish will tell you they invented whiskey-making, and it wasn’t until the Middle Ages that Irish monks brought distilling techniques across the waters to Scotland. Yet that short distance has been far enough that the two whiskeys evolved, over the centuries, into very different styles. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. 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 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.

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. We deliver to a number of international destinations including the USA. Please use the 'Change Location' link above for an estimate in your local currency or find out more about international delivery The selling point of this whiskey is its connection with Bow Street in Dublin, the original home of Jameson Distillery. It is first matured for 18 years in a combination of American bourbon barrels and Spanish sherry butts at the New Midleton Distillery in Cork. Then, the blend is re-casked in first-fill bourbon barrels for another 6-to-12-month maturation in the Maturation House at the Jameson Distillery Bow Street. The Maturation House can store 84 casks only. In that sense, it is indeed a rare release. 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.

We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets. Jameson 18 Year Old Limited Reserve is a good whiskey. It feels a bit like something is missing, but there’s nothing to truly dislike about it; enjoyable from start to finish. 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. 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.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.
