Jameson Crested Triple Distilled (700mL)

A blend of pure Jameson Irish Whiskey good enough to hang a family’s reputation on.

Back in the late 1700’s Ireland, there was one powerful distilling family in two branches — the Haigs and the Steins. John Jameson was originally from Scotland, but married into the Haig family and moved to Dublin in 1777 where he was put in charge of the new Bow Street Distillery. After working hard for years, he eventually acquired the entire operation in 1810 and the Jameson & Son Distillery Company was born. Since then Jameson has become the most recognizable and best-selling Irish Whiskey in the world delivering over 56 million bottles of golden Irish nectar each year.

Versions of "Jameson Crested" have been around for a while. In this case "Crested" refers to the family crest emblazoned on the bottle, signifying provenance. You see, Jameson used to not sell direct. Instead, all of their Whiskey was sold to taverns and bottlers. Many of the shadier types would cut the superior Jameson Spirit with cheap Whiskies and water, so the brand was being damaged. So in 1961 they took matters into their own hands and launched the Crested nameplate to differentiate the good stuff.

Jameson Crested Triple Distilled is a tribute to their Bow Street Distillery. It is a blend of their triple-distilled Irish Whiskies aged in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. So really, "Crested" means "delicious."
