JAMESON® WELCOMES DISTILLER'S BATCH TO THE U.S., CELEBRATING THE ART OF SINGLE POT STILL IRISH WHISKEY
The award-winning¹ new release brings together five distinct cask types to introduce American whiskey drinkers to a new side of Jameson's signature smoothness
Jameson®, the world's no. 1 Irish whiskey2, proudly announces the launch of Jameson Distiller's Batch, the newest addition to the Jameson family in the United States. Distiller's Batch celebrates more than 200 years of Jameson whiskey-making, a story that began with the earliest Jameson recipes crafted in the Single Pot Still tradition and continues today with a modern expression built on that heritage.
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's 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 matured across five hand-selected oak cask types - including ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and virgin Irish, European and American oak. Together, these casks create remarkable depth, richness and complexity while preserving the silky texture and warm spice notes that define the Jameson style - all balanced by the signature smoothness that has defined Jameson for generations.
Jameson Distiller's Batch delivers a rich flavor 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. The combination of oaks adds intricate smoked-wood tones with delicate tannins, working in balance with the whiskey's silky texture.
"200 hundred years ago, one of the very first Jameson recipes were crafted in the Single Pot Still tradition - a legacy we discovered in a mashbill handwritten by John Jameson II in a pocket notebook dated 1826, still kept today in our archive in Midleton. Distiller's Batch is our way of celebrating that origin story," says Kevin O'Gorman, Master Distiller at Midleton Distillery. "Bringing together five cask types is a careful balancing act, and everyone contributes something to the final whiskey. The result is an expression with real character that still feels unmistakably Jameson."
Distiller's Batch is part of the Jameson Reserve Series, Jameson's premium tier of Irish whiskeys highlighting special cask finishes, aging techniques and distinct flavor profiles. Designed to be savored, Jameson Distiller's Batch is best enjoyed neat or in a spirit-forward classic like a Manhattan.
"Jameson has been crafting Irish whiskey for over 200 years and Distiller's Batch is our latest chapter," said Kristen Colonna, Vice President of Marketing, Jameson. "Made in the quintessential style of Irish whiskey making, matured across five hand-selected cask types, with plenty of spice, a bit of orchard fruit, dark chocolate on the finish, and the smoothness Jameson is known for. Whether you're a devotee who already knows Irish whiskey well, a curious drinker finding their way in, or simply someone who's poured a Jameson and wants to know what else we can do - we made this one for you. Pour it neat or elevate a classic like a Manhattan – and savor every sip."
Jameson Distiller's Batch (46% ABV / 92 Proof) is available for pre-sale and will be nationwide come September for a suggested retail price of $49.99.
