Jameson Black Barrel
by Jameson · Whisky · Ireland
Jameson Black Barrel is an Irish whiskey from Jameson's Reserve Series, a brand that gives 1780 as its founding year on the label. The name honors the coopers' old method of charring barrels on the inside, and in Brazil the bottle is sold by specialist shops.
It is a blend of pot still whiskey with small-batch grain whiskey, distilled only one week a year, with a higher proportion of pot still than standard Jameson. Everything is triple distilled, and the bourbon barrels receive a second charring; the batches age for 9 to 12 years. The brand suggests drinking it neat, on the rocks or in an Old Fashioned.
