Jameson is the world’s most beloved Irish whiskey, a triple-distilled blend prized for its silky smoothness, and we pour it by the glass at Grappa in Queen Anne, Seattle. Familiar yet endlessly graceful, it is a glass that suits both the curious newcomer and the seasoned drinker.
About the Distillery
Jameson traces its roots to John Jameson, who established his Dublin distillery in 1780. Today the whiskey is crafted at the New Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland, under the stewardship of Irish Distillers. Midleton is one of the great houses of Irish whiskey, and Jameson is its flagship, a name that has carried the warmth of Irish hospitality around the world.
Style & Mash Bill
Jameson is a blended Irish whiskey, marrying smooth pot still whiskey made from both malted and unmalted Irish barley with a lighter, more delicate grain whiskey. Its hallmark is triple distillation, an Irish tradition that polishes the spirit to a notably soft, rounded texture. Maturation in a mix of seasoned American oak bourbon barrels and Spanish sherry casks rounds out the character.
Tasting Notes
The nose offers gentle vanilla, toasted wood and a buttery cereal sweetness, brightened by a hint of orchard fruit and a touch of dried orange peel. The palate is smooth and well balanced, with honeyed malt, light spice and a whisper of nuttiness. The finish is clean, warm and quietly lingering.
