At the 2024 Singapore World Spirits Competition, Jameson 18-year-old Irish Whiskey claimed the title of Best Blended Irish Whiskey, further solidifying Jameson’s legacy as a global leader in Irish whiskey. Known for its balance of flavors and meticulous aging process, this premium blend stands out as a true masterpiece of whiskey craftsmanship.
Jameson, one of the most iconic names in Irish whiskey, has a rich heritage dating back to 1780. The Jameson 18-Year-Old is a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence, blending three hand-selected whiskeys aged in carefully seasoned oak casks for nearly two decades. After 18 years of aging, the whiskey is finished in first-fill bourbon barrels, which adds an extra layer of complexity and smoothness to the final product.
On the nose, you’ll find rich aromas of toffee, butterscotch, and spiced wood, with hints of leather and dark chocolate. The palate features notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak complemented by dried fruits and spice. The finish brings forward flavors of warm toffee and nuttiness. The judges were impressed by its seamless balance of sweetness and spice, its rich mouthfeel, and the exceptional smoothness that comes from years of patient aging.
As the global whiskey landscape continues to evolve, Jameson 18-Year-Old remains a shining example of what makes Irish whiskey special—expert blending, long aging, and a dedication to creating a superior, versatile whiskey. This award-winning blend is perfect for sipping neat or as a luxurious component of your favorite whiskey cocktails.
