✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1780 when John Jameson acquired the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin, Jameson is the world's most iconic Irish whiskey producer, with modern production based at the historic Midleton Distillery in County Cork. Owned by Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, the brand has remained steadfast in its signature triple-distillation method, yielding an exceptionally smooth, approachable spirit. The house blends rich, spicy single pot still whiskey with delicate grain whiskey, aging the liquid in seasoned bourbon and sherry casks to achieve optimal balance. Jameson is internationally celebrated for its flagship blended Irish whiskey, alongside innovative variations such as Jameson Black Barrel, the craft beer-finished Caskmates series, and aged reserves like the acclaimed 18-Year-Old.
