Jameson is a blended Irish whiskey at 40% ABV, and its defining production detail is triple distillation. Most Scotch is distilled twice; running the spirit through a third time produces a lighter, smoother whiskey, and that is the house character here. It blends pot still whiskey with grain whiskey and matures in oak casks.
The result is soft and approachable: orchard fruit, vanilla, a light floral note and a gentle finish with no peat smoke at all. Irish whiskey's reputation for being the easiest of the whiskey families to drink starts with bottles like this one.
Because it is so unaggressive, it does a lot of jobs well. Neat or over ice it is easy going; Jameson with ginger ale and a wedge of lime is one of the best simple highballs there is; and it is the standard whiskey for an Irish coffee.
It is a strong choice as a house whiskey for a mixed group, since it rarely meets an objection. 247BOOZE stocks it in 750 ml and 375 ml and delivers across our active service areas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
