The Ultimate Spirit For St. Patrick's Day

Somehow, the arrival of St. Patrick’s Day and imbibing potent beverages seem inextricably entwined. For those who have long-since abandoned activities such as drinking green beer and other such shenanigans in favor of more refined pursuits to celebrate the holiday, we are happy to report we have received most excellent news from the marque synonymous with Irish whiskey, Jameson.

Perfectly timed for today’s celebration honoring the Emerald Isle’s legendary saint, Jameson Irish Whiskey is releasing this month a rare distillation that is the result of a hands-on collaboration by the company’s four whiskey masters. Combined, the quartet has over 130 years experience in crafting masterful whiskeys created using traditional Irish methods faithful to a single distillery approach, controlling all elements “from grain to glass” (some competitors buy whiskeys for blending from the open market).

The new release, Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve, raises the bar even higher. Aged grain whiskeys are blended with rare, traditional pot still whiskeys of specific character, combined with vintage distillations aged in specially commissioned port pipes. Triple-distilled and bottled without the use of chill filtration, the exclusive blend and its unique aging process have yielded what is being heralded as an Irish whiskey of historic character, featuring superb depth and complexity, with intriguing flavor notes. Priced at $250, this limited release joins the existing Jameson Reserves portfolio, which also includes Jameson 12-Year-Old Special Reserve, Jameson 18-Year-Old Limited Reserve and Jameson Gold Reserve.
