Jameson Black Barrel stands out for its unique production process triple distillation, followed by maturation in a combination of ex-sherry casks and double-charred American bourbon barrels. The deep charring releases intense flavours that define this whiskey’s signature profile: warm spices, nutty sweetness, creamy vanilla and a smooth, lingering finish.

Black Barrel, originally created as a tribute to Jameson’s skilled coopers, celebrates the traditional art of barrel charring a technique used to unlock deeper flavour and complexity.
