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

The main ingredients in Irish whisky 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 smoky 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.
