Jameson '1780 Special Reserve' 12 Year Irish Whiskey (1990's Bottling)

The initial Jameson 12 blend marked a pivotal moment in Irish distilling history, credited with revitalizing the industry. In 1966, Jameson, Powers, and Cork distilleries joined forces under Irish Distillers to capitalize on an emerging global export market. Jameson emerged as the flagship brand, adapting to international tastes by transitioning traditional Irish pot still whiskeys into the modern blends recognized today. This blend incorporated pot still whiskey from Jameson's Bow Street distillery and column still grain whiskey from Power's John's Lane distillery. The 12-year age statement pays homage to John Jameson's establishment of the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin in 1780.
