Jameson Gold Reserve

Jameson Gold started out as a limited edition expression that was originally created for the Asian market. It proved to be very popular and it was added as a permanent member of the Jameson range. The blend has been tweaked a little since it first appeared and now seems to be more rounded and harmonious than initial releases. The Jameson Gold features three well-aged pot still whiskeys, one of which was aged in new American oak barrels. New oak can be quite aggressive and tends to add a lots of flavour but also some tannin and woodiness, so it has to be used sparingly here. The composition of Jameson Gold is quite complex with lots of different pot still and grain components all coming together in an elegant and smooth package.

Unfortunately this much loved bottling will soon be discontinued and will be replaced by a new range of no-age-statement Jameson whiskeys.

Nose Fragrant wood, rich pot still with a touch of sherry sweetness.

Palate All the creaminess and honey sweetness come together to create a taste sensation of spicy character, a smooth complex whiskey experience. A very long finish with a pleasantly peppery finale.

Colour Bright gold.

FAQs

How much is Jameson Whiskey?

Jameson Original typically retails from €28 to €35 for a standard 70cl bottle. Jameson Black Barrel sits between €38 and €48. Jameson 18 Year Old ranges from €100 to €130. The Jameson Deconstructed Series expressions, including the Makers Series limited releases, command premiums depending on availability. As the world's best selling Irish whiskey brand by volume, standard Jameson pricing reflects its mass market positioning rather than its premium production credentials.

What is Jameson Whiskey?

Jameson is a blended Irish whiskey produced by Irish Distillers at Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Ireland. It was originally distilled at Bow Street Distillery in Dublin, founded by John Jameson in 1780, before production moved to Midleton in 1975. It is the world's best selling Irish whiskey and one of the top ten best selling spirits globally. The standard expression combines pot still and grain whiskeys triple distilled and aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks.

Where is Jameson made?

Jameson Irish Whiskey is produced at the Midleton Distillery in Midleton, County Cork, by Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. Production moved from the original Bow Street Distillery in Dublin to the purpose built Midleton facility in 1975. The old Bow Street Distillery in the Smithfield area of Dublin has since been converted into the Jameson Distillery Bow Street visitor experience. All current Jameson production, including the premium Midleton Very Rare range, takes place in County Cork.
