Jameson Triple Triple Irish Whiskey is a blended whiskey Ireland that pushes the boundaries of tradition with an innovative triple cask maturation process. While Jameson whiskey has always been known for its triple distillation, this unique expression takes things further by maturing in Bourbon barrels, Sherry casks, and Chestnut casks. The result? A whiskey that is triple distilled, triple cask matured, and incredibly smooth.
Product and Producer Insights
Jameson Triple Triple is crafted at the Jameson Distillery in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland, one of the most respected names in the Irish whiskey industry. The whiskey is made using the finest malted and unmalted barley, triple-distilled for purity and smoothness.
The use of three different cask types is what sets Jameson Triple Triple apart.
- Bourbon barrels bring vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak notes.
- Sherry casks add dried fruit richness and nutty depth.
- Chestnut casks, a rare addition in whiskey ageing, introduce cacao, almond, and subtle spice.
This innovative approach results in a well-balanced whiskey that offers additional layers of flavour, depth, and complexity.
Jameson Distillery History
Founded in 1780 by John Jameson, the Jameson Distillery has grown into one of the world’s top Irish whiskey brands. Originally based in Dublin, Jameson relocated to a state-of-the-art distillery in Midleton, County Cork in 1975. Today, it produces some of the most iconic Irish whiskeys, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
Notable awards include:
- Champion of the Irish Whiskey Masters (2020, 2021, 2022)
- Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2020, 2021)
- Top-ranking whiskey in the World Whisky Awards (multiple years)
A lesser-known fact is that Jameson remains one of the few distilleries to triple-distil all of its whiskey, ensuring an exceptionally smooth spirit.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A rich amber hue with golden tones, showcasing thick, slow-moving legs.
- Aroma: A beautifully layered nose of toffee fudge, vanilla, and roasted almonds, enhanced by hints of orchard fruits like pear and apple.
- Flavour: A velvety, full-bodied palate bursting with cacao, toasted nuts, caramel, and a whisper of spice. The wood influence from Bourbon, Sherry, and Chestnut casks provides balance and depth.
- Mouthfeel: Silky smooth and rich, with a long-lasting, warming finish where sweetness and spice fade into toasted wood and nutty undertones.
Food Pairings
Jameson Triple Triple's well-rounded flavour makes it exceptionally versatile when it comes to food pairings.
- Chocolate desserts: The cacao and toffee notes pair beautifully with dark chocolate brownies, chocolate fondant, or a rich tiramisu.
- Roast meats: The nutty and spiced character complements roasted duck, honey-glazed ham, or beef short ribs.
- Cheese boards: Try it with aged Cheddar, Gouda, or Blue Cheese, where the whiskey’s vanilla and nutty elements create a beautiful contrast.
- Spicy dishes: The smoothness of Jameson Triple Triple balances out the heat of Thai curries, Szechuan stir-fry, or BBQ-glazed ribs.
