Jameson has announced the US launch of Distiller’s Batch, a release celebrating more than 200 years of whiskey making by the world’s number one Irish whiskey brand.

Jameson Distiller’s Batch (46% ABV) is a single pot still Irish whiskey, matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry, virgin Irish, and European and American oak casks.

Single Pot Still is the quintessential style of Irish whiskey-making – triple-distilled in copper pot stills from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, and produced nowhere else in the world. It is the tradition that shaped the earliest Jameson whiskeys and the inspiration behind Distiller’s Batch today.

Crafted by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman at Midleton Distillery, Jameson Distiller’s Batch is said to deliver a rich flavour profile, opening with notes of toasted oak, honeycomb, salted caramel and warming baking spices, followed by layers of dark chocolate, spicy toffee, cinnamon, ginger and orange peel.

Commenting on Jameson Distiller’s Batch, Kevin O’Gorman, said: “Two hundred years ago, one of the very first Jameson recipes was crafted in the Single Pot Still tradition – a legacy we discovered in a mash bill handwritten by John Jameson II in a pocket notebook dated 1826, which is still kept in our archive in Midleton. Distiller’s Batch is our way of celebrating that origin story. Bringing together five cask types is a careful balancing act, and each contributes something to the final whiskey. The result is an expression with real character that still feels unmistakably Jameson.”

Jameson Distiller’s Batch will be available from September through selected specialist retailers in the US, for a RRP of $49.99.
