John Jameson belongs to a family of Irish sailors who won a bloody sea battle against pirates during the 16th century. From that moment sine metu (without fear) became the slogan of the Jameson dynasty which inspired John when he founded the distillery in 1770.
He chooses just refined ingredients using triple distillation to obtain a homogeneous result, which distinguishes his distillates from most of the whiskeys on the market. Nearly 200 years after the death of its creator, Jameson remains the number one Irish whiskey in the world as well as highly appreciated globally: for example, his Rerest Reserve won gold and double gold at the Spirits World Competition of San Francisco between 2005 and 2010. From 1998, instead, it is owned by the multinational Pernord Ricard.
* Curiosity: John Jameson was the great-grandfather of the inventor Guglielmo Marconi.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
