✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Jameson Black Barrel is a tribute to the historic method of charring barrels, a craft revived by the masters at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. Unlike standard Irish whiskeys, this expression is a unique blend of small-batch grain and traditional single pot still whiskeys. The defining characteristic of Black Barrel lies in its maturation process: the spirit is aged in double-charred first-fill bourbon casks. This intense charring caramelizes the wood sugars, imparting rich, deep notes of butterscotch, creamy fudge, toasted oak, and warm spice. John Jameson's legacy of triple distillation, dating back to 1780, combined with this meticulous wood management, yields an exceptionally smooth spirit with a complex, smoky sweetness that honors centuries of Irish distilling heritage.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Historien om Jameson går tilbage til 1780, hvor John Jameson overtog Bow Street Distillery i Dublin. I dag er Jameson verdens mest ikoniske producent af irsk whiskey, og den moderne produktion foregår på det historiske Midleton Distillery i County Cork. Mærket ejes af Irish Distillers, et datterselskab under Pernod Ricard, og holder urokkeligt fast i sin karakteristiske tredobbelte destillation, som giver en enestående blød og imødekommende spiritus. Huset blender fyldig og krydret single pot still-whiskey med elegant grain-whiskey, hvorefter blandingen modner på udvalgte bourbon- og sherryfade for at opnå en harmonisk balance. Jameson er verdenskendt for sin klassiske blended Irish whiskey såvel som nyskabende varianter som Jameson Black Barrel, Caskmates-serien med finish på craftbeer-fade samt eksklusive, lagrede aftapninger som den anmelderroste 18-Year-Old.
