Jameson is a blended Irish whiskey, still made in a single distillery using rich pot still whiskey from malted and unmalted barley and the finest grain whiskey, both triple distilled for smoothness. Since John Jameson established the Dublin distillery in 1780, Jameson has been the most popular Irish whiskey sold globally.

The main ingredients in Irish whiskey are barley, malted barley, and water. The grain is dried out in the kiln using anthracite, a smokeless fuel, which gives a taste deliberately absent of smokey peat. This is one of the main differences between Irish and Scotch, as in Scotland, the grain is dried by blowing peat smoke through it.

Following a triple distillation, it spends at least three years maturing in oak barrels that were imported from America, Spain, and Portugal and that were previously used to mature bourbon, sherry, and port.
