✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Jameson Crested, historically known as 'Crested Ten' when first released in 1963, represents a monumental milestone in Irish distilling history. For generations, distilleries sold their whiskey by the cask to independent bonders who bottled it themselves, often leading to inconsistent quality. Crested was the very first whiskey that Jameson bottled directly at their historic Bow Street Distillery in Dublin, reclaiming control over their liquid's destiny and quality. Classified under 'Other' as a premium blended Irish whiskey, it is crafted from a blend of rich single pot still and grain whiskeys, with a significant portion of the blend matured in high-quality sherry casks alongside traditional bourbon barrels. This aging process imparts a deep amber hue and a voluptuous profile defined by toasted wood, warm spices, dark chocolate, and luscious orchard fruits, celebrating the enduring legacy of Irish distilling craftsmanship.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
John Jameson grundlagde sit destilleri på Bow Street i Dublin i 1780, og i dag fremstår Jameson som den ubestridte globale ambassadør for irsk whiskey. I 1975 flyttede produktionen til New Midleton Distillery i County Cork – et topmoderne anlæg, der er strategisk placeret midt i Munsters frodige bygmarker og forsynes med krystalklart vand fra floden Dungourney. Jamesons helt store særkende er den kompromisløse tredobbelte destillation, hvor fyldig pot still-whiskey på både maltet og umaltet byg forenes med silkeblød grain whiskey fra kolonneblendedestillation. Under ledelse af Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman modnes destillaterne på udvalgte fade af tidligere bourbon og oloroso-sherry, som tilfører indbydende nuancer af vanilje, ristet egetræ og moden frugt fra haven. Toneangivende aftapninger som den klassiske Jameson Original, den intenst forkullede Jameson Black Barrel og den sofistikerede Jameson 18 Year Old vidner om en urokkelig dedikation til harmonisk balance, en fyldig tekstur og den karakteristiske, uovertrufne blødhed.
