Jameson Distiller's Batch Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
46% ABV (92 proof) | 750mL | Single pot still Irish whiskey | Five-cask maturation — Jameson Distiller's Batch is the Reserve Series release that reconnects Jameson with its single pot still roots: a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple-distilled in copper pot stills at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, then matured in five hand-selected casks — ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and virgin Irish, American, and European oak. It honors an 1826 mashbill handwritten by John Jameson II in a pocket notebook, crafted by Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman for the US launch in September 2026. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The five casks layer complexity: cinnamon, nutmeg, toasted oak, honeycomb, salted caramel, dairy fudge, butterscotch, vanilla, and ripe orchard fruit on the nose; rich dark chocolate, spicy toffee, ground cinnamon, freshly grated ginger, orange peel, and smoked-wood tones on a silky pot still palate; and a finish where delicate fruits fade slowly and spice and oak linger. Among single pot still Irish whiskeys, this is Jameson's prestige play at an accessible $49.99 — neat pour or Manhattan material.
