About This Whiskey
Jameson Single Pot Still is a premium Irish whiskey that pays tribute to one of Ireland's most distinctive and historic whiskey-making traditions. While Jameson Original has introduced millions of people to Irish whiskey through its approachable blended style, this expression showcases the unique character of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, offering greater depth, a richer mouthfeel and a more complex flavour profile for those looking to explore beyond the classic Jameson experience.
Produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Jameson Single Pot Still is crafted using a mash bill of both malted and unmalted barley before being triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills. This uniquely Irish production method has been central to Ireland's whiskey heritage for generations and produces a whiskey with remarkable texture, vibrant fruit character and the signature spice that defines the Single Pot Still style. The whiskey is matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, allowing layers of vanilla, toasted oak, orchard fruit and baking spice to develop while maintaining the balance and smoothness synonymous with the Jameson name.
For those familiar with Jameson Original, this expression offers a natural progression. It retains the quality and drinkability that have made Jameson one of the world's most recognised Irish whiskey brands, while delivering greater complexity and a richer, more traditional character. Whether you're an experienced whiskey enthusiast or looking to discover why Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is regarded as one of Ireland's finest whiskey styles, Jameson Single Pot Still is an excellent place to begin.

Distillery Overview
The Jameson story began in Dublin in 1780 and continues today at the renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork, where traditional Irish whiskey-making techniques are combined with modern expertise to produce some of Ireland's best-known whiskeys.
Jameson Single Pot Still celebrates one of the country's most important whiskey traditions. Unlike blended Irish whiskey, Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is produced using both malted and unmalted barley distilled in copper pot stills, a style unique to Ireland that is celebrated for its rich texture, spice and complexity. This expression demonstrates how the Jameson family extends beyond its famous Original blend while remaining true to the quality and craftsmanship that define the brand.
If you're discovering the Jameson range, the classic Jameson Irish Whiskey Original remains the ideal introduction to the brand. Those looking for greater oak influence may enjoy Jameson Black Barrel, while Jameson Crested offers a richer sherry influence. Whiskey drinkers interested in innovative cask finishes can also explore Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition and Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition.
Food Pairings / Serving Suggestions
Jameson Single Pot Still is best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full depth of flavour, although a splash of still water gently opens additional layers of orchard fruit, vanilla and baking spice. A single cube of ice provides a slightly lighter serve without overwhelming the whiskey's rich character.
Its full-bodied profile pairs particularly well with mature Cheddar, Comté and aged Gouda, while charcuterie, roast pork and glazed ham complement its balance of fruit and spice. For dessert, dark chocolate, apple tart and sticky toffee pudding bring out the whiskey's notes of vanilla, toasted oak and caramel.
Although primarily designed as a premium sipping whiskey, Jameson Single Pot Still also creates an exceptional Old Fashioned, where its rich mouthfeel and distinctive pot still spice bring additional depth to the classic cocktail.
