Jameson Bow Street 18 Years is a monumental tribute to the historic home of Irish whiskey-making on Bow Street in Dublin, where John Jameson first established his distillery in 1780. Classified here under 'Other' as an ultra-premium aged spirit, this expression is a masterfully crafted blend of rare pot still and grain Irish whiskeys. Each component is aged for a minimum of 18 years in a combination of traditional bourbon and sherry casks. These whiskeys are then married together and subjected to a unique final finishing period in fresh American oak barrels at the Bow Street Distillery. This process imparts an incredibly rich character defined by deep oak complexity, toasted wood, sweet toffee, warm vanilla, and a lingering, spicy finish that honors centuries of Irish distilling heritage.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1780 by John Jameson in Dublin, Jameson is the world's most iconic name in Irish whiskey, celebrated for pioneering the signature triple-distillation process that yields its trademark smoothness. While its historic roots remain at the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin, modern production takes place at the state-of-the-art Midleton Distillery in County Cork, where locally sourced barley and pure Irish water are meticulously crafted. Jameson's portfolio showcases a masterful blending of rich pot still and delicate grain whiskeys, aged to perfection in seasoned sherry and bourbon oak casks. This dedication to heritage and craft is beautifully expressed in acclaimed bottlings such as the Black Barrel, Crested, and the prestigious Bow Street 18 Year Old.
