Jameson Distiller's Batch Enters the American Market
References: foodandwine
Jameson, the world's leading Irish whiskey brand, has introduced Jameson Distiller's Batch to the American market. This new expression pays homage to the distillery's historical roots in the Single Pot Still tradition while showcasing a modern and complex flavor profile achieved through maturation across five distinct cask types.
The Jameson Distiller's Batch, part of the brand's Reserve Series, is crafted by Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman at the Midleton Distillery and combines ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and virgin Irish, European, and American oak casks. The resulting expression delivers a whiskey that offers toasted oak, honeycomb, salted caramel, and warm baking spices on the nose, followed by layers of dark chocolate, spicy toffee, cinnamon, ginger, and orange peel.
The product's name and inspiration derive from a handwritten mashbill recipe dated 1826, discovered in the distillery's archives.
