Jameson Crested

Regular price £32.75

Rich, smooth, and unmistakably Irish, Jameson Crested pays tribute to the moment Jameson first took full control of its whiskey production - from distillation to bottling - marking a defining chapter in the brand’s history. First introduced in 1963, this expression celebrates Jameson’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship and consistency.

Produced at the historic Midleton Distillery in County Cork - home to Ireland’s most celebrated pot still whiskeys - Jameson Crested is a blend of pot still and grain whiskeys, triple distilled and matured in a combination of sherry and bourbon casks. Bottled at 40% ABV, it reveals a luxurious harmony of dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, with a gentle pot-still spice and velvety texture that define Jameson’s signature smoothness.

Rooted in more than two centuries of Irish whiskey heritage, the Midleton Distillery continues to honour founder John Jameson’s philosophy: “Sine Metu” - Without Fear. Jameson Crested embodies that spirit - confident, elegant, and timeless - a whiskey that bridges Ireland’s proud distilling past with the refined tastes of today’s whiskey drinker.

Overview & Distillery

Rich, smooth, and proudly traditional, Jameson Crested celebrates the heritage of one of Ireland’s most iconic whiskey houses. First launched in 1963, this expression was the first to bear the Jameson family name and stands as a tribute to the distillery’s long history of whiskey bonding and maturation.

Crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Jameson Crested is a blend of pot still and grain whiskeys, matured predominantly in sherry and bourbon casks. Bottled at 40% ABV, it delivers a luxurious balance of fruit, spice, and oak — with rich sherry sweetness, notes of chocolate, and warm vanilla undertones. Its higher proportion of pot still whiskey gives it body and depth, while the sherry influence adds elegance and complexity.

Refined yet accessible, Jameson Crested bridges the gap between classic Jameson smoothness and the more robust character of premium Irish whiskeys. It’s a whiskey for those who appreciate heritage, craftsmanship, and depth of flavour.

Produced at the world-renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork — the beating heart of Irish Distillers — Jameson Crested embodies over two centuries of whiskey-making excellence. The Midleton Distillery, home to Jameson, Powers, and Redbreast, represents the finest traditions of Irish pot still distillation, where craftsmanship, patience, and blending artistry come together to define modern Irish whiskey.

The story of Crested traces back to the early 20th century, when Jameson began bottling its own whiskey — marking a shift from merchant bottlers to full in-house quality control. The “crest” on the label symbolised that proud milestone. Today, Jameson Crested continues that legacy, honouring the distillery’s roots while reflecting the meticulous blending and cask selection that define Jameson’s enduring success.

Elegant, flavourful, and steeped in history, Jameson Crested stands as both a tribute to the brand’s storied past and a testament to the enduring art of Irish whiskey making.
