Jameson Introduces New Single Pot Still Brand Extension

Although Irish Distillers, the makers of Jameson, were solely responsible for the preservation of Ireland’s single pot still style through the dark days of the Seventies and into the 21st Century, single pot still expressions at the company have been limited to their Redbreast, Spots and Midleton brands. Although that type of whiskey was incorporated into Jameson for decades, it was as a constituent of a blended whiskey.

Single Pot Still is the quintessential style of Irish whiskey making – triple distilled in copper pot stills from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and produced nowhere else in the world. It’s the tradition that shaped the earliest Jameson whiskeys, and the inspiration behind Distiller’s Batch today.

Now that changes with Jameson Distiller’s Batch. Crafted by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman at Midleton Distillery, Jameson Distiller’s Batch is matured across five hand-selected oak cask types – including ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and virgin Irish, European and American oak. Together, these casks create remarkable depth, richness and complexity while preserving the silky texture and warm spice notes that define the Jameson style – all balanced by the signature smoothness that has defined Jameson for generations.

Distiller’s Batch is part of the Jameson Reserve Series, Jameson’s premium tier of Irish whiskeys highlighting special cask finishes, aging techniques and distinct flavor profiles. Designed to be savored, Jameson Distiller’s Batch is best enjoyed neat or in a spirit-forward classic like a Manhattan.

“200 hundred years ago, one of the very first Jameson recipes were crafted in the Single Pot Still tradition – a legacy we discovered in a mashbill handwritten by John Jameson II in a pocket notebook dated 1826, still kept today in our archive in Midleton. Distiller’s Batch is our way of celebrating that origin story,” says Kevin O’Gorman, Master Distiller at Midleton Distillery. “Bringing together five cask types is a careful balancing act, and everyone contributes something to the final whiskey. The result is an expression with real character that still feels unmistakably Jameson.”

Jameson Distiller’s Batch is bottled at 92 proof and available in the US for $50 a bottle.
