Jameson Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey (New Release)

Jameson Irish Whiskey was founded in 1780 by John Jameson, a Scottish lawyer who took over the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin, Ireland. Under his leadership, the brand grew rapidly, becoming one of the largest and most respected Irish whiskeys of the 19th century. At its peak in the early 1900s, Jameson was a major force in global whiskey, but the 20th century brought challenges—Prohibition in the U.S., trade wars with Britain, and the rise of Scotch whisky led to a sharp decline. In 1966, Jameson merged with Powers and Cork Distillers to form the Irish Distillers Group, aiming to consolidate and revive Irish whiskey. In 1975, production moved to the New Midleton Distillery in County Cork, where Jameson is still made today. Now owned by Pernod Ricard (since 1988), Jameson is the world’s best-selling Irish whiskey, known for its smooth, triple-distilled character and global popularity.
