Jameson Distiller's Batch Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Jameson Distiller’s Batch Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a character‑driven, distillate‑forward expression that highlights the heart of Irish whiskey: the traditional single pot still style. Crafted in Midleton as part of Jameson’s experimental and limited‑release projects, this bottling emphasizes rich cereal character, orchard fruit, spice, and the creamy texture that defines true pot still whiskey. It sits between classic Jameson smoothness and the deeper, oilier structure of premium pot still releases, making it both approachable and distinctive.
This whiskey is triple‑distilled and matured in a combination of ex‑bourbon and sherry casks, giving it a layered profile without overshadowing the grain and malt at its core. It’s designed to showcase the craftsmanship of the distillation team—clean spirit, balanced spice, and a silky mouthfeel.
Distillation‑Led Character
- Single pot still whiskey — a blend of malted and unmalted barley distilled in copper pot stills for creamy texture and spice.
- Triple distillation — hallmark Jameson smoothness with added clarity and fruit brightness.
- Bourbon and sherry cask maturation — vanilla, honey, orchard fruit, and subtle dried fruit depth.
- Craft‑focused batch — produced in limited quantities with an emphasis on distillate purity.
- Bridges classic and premium — richer than standard Jameson, lighter than Redbreast or Midleton pot stills.

What Makes It Distinctive
This release stands out for its balance: it highlights the pot still character—creamy, spicy, fruity—without leaning too heavily on wood or sweetness.
