Heritage & Craft

Jameson Irish Whiskey, established in 1780, remains one of the world’s most beloved whiskeys, now distilled at Midleton in County Cork. Black Barrel embodies this legacy but delivers it with added intensity. This triple‑distilled blend—predominantly single‑pot still whiskies with a smaller component of grain whiskey is matured in specially double‑charred bourbon barrels (the “black barrels”), lending deeper complexity and a richer palate.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: A rich aroma of butterscotch, creamy toffee and fudge builds instantly, supported by warm spice and gentle oak.
• Palate: Expect pronounced nutty and vanilla notes, spiced warmth, roasted almonds and delicate sherry-fruit tones from the cask blend.
• Finish: Impressively long and mellow, with lingering layers of toasted oak, vanilla and a hint of barley’s dry tannin.

Notable Accolades

• Awarded 92/100 (Gold Medal – Exceptional) by the Beverage Testing Institute (tastings.com) in June 2024.
• Widely hailed by enthusiasts “Probably my favourite Jameson yet… this one did it,” with many considering it worth the slight price premium over Jameson Original.

Little-Known Facts

• Unlike other variants, Black Barrel does not carry an age statement—but it blends grain whiskey at its flavour peak (~6 years old) with pot‑still whiskey aged around 12 years or more.
• The distinct character comes from the double‑charred barrels, a more intense charring process that deepens the flavour profile and adds toffee and vanilla richness.
