About Jameson
Jameson is the best-selling Irish whiskey in the world, distilled since 1780 and triple distilled rather than the twice that is standard in Scotland, which gives it a lighter character. Irish whiskey nearly disappeared in the twentieth century, and Jameson led its recovery from the 1990s.
