Created by Jameson's fifth-generation Head Cooper, Ger Buckley, The Cooper's Croze is a celebratory Irish whiskey from the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland, designed to showcase the profound impact of wood on spirit. Named after the croze—the specialized tool used to cut the groove for the cask head—this expression is a masterfully crafted blend of single pot still and single grain whiskeys. It is aged in a trio of cask types: virgin American oak, seasoned traditional bourbon barrels, and rich Sherry butts. This combination imparts a complex character rich with vanilla sweetness, toasted wood, ripe orchard fruits, and warm Spanish spices, reflecting centuries of coopering heritage and Irish distilling tradition.
🍾 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.
