Jameson has announced the launch of its Distiller’s Batch, the newest addition to the Jameson family in the United States.
Distiller’s Batch celebrates more than 200 years of Jameson whiskey-making, a story that began with the earliest recipes crafted in the Single Pot Still tradition. Single Pot Still is the quintessential style of Irish whiskey-making, the triple distilled in copper pot stills from a mash of malted and unmalted barley.
Crafted by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman at Midleton Distillery, the expression is matured across five hand-selected oak cask types (ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and virgin Irish, European and American oak).
“200 hundred years ago, one of the very first Jameson recipes were crafted in the Single Pot Still tradition – a legacy we discovered in a mashbill handwritten by John Jameson II in a pocket notebook dated 1826, still kept today in our archive in Midleton. Distiller’s Batch is our way of celebrating that origin story,” said Kevin O’Gorman, Master Distiller at Midleton Distillery. “Bringing together five cask types is a careful balancing act, and everyone contributes something to the final whiskey. The result is an expression with real character that still feels unmistakably Jameson.”
Distiller’s Batch is part of the Jameson Reserve Series, Jameson’s premium tier of Irish whiskeys highlighting special cask finishes, aging techniques and distinct flavor profiles.
“Jameson has been crafting Irish whiskey for over 200 years and Distiller’s Batch is our latest chapter,” said Kristen Colonna, Vice President of Marketing, Jameson. “Made in the quintessential style of Irish whiskey making, matured across five hand-selected cask types, with plenty of spice, a bit of orchard fruit, dark chocolate on the finish, and the smoothness Jameson is known for. Whether you’re a devotee who already knows Irish whiskey well, a curious drinker finding their way in, or simply someone who’s poured a Jameson and wants to know what else we can do – we made this one for you. Pour it neat or elevate a classic like a Manhattan – and savor every sip.”
Jameson Distiller’s Batch (92 proof) is available for $49.99.
