Choose a bottle size

Jameson's Whiskey Makers Series is a trio of whiskeys celebrating the hard work of their Head Cooper, Head Distiller and Head Blender. This particular edition is named in honour of the latter, Jameson's Head (or indeed Master) Blender Billy Leighton! This release is all about harmony, complexity and balance. Part of Jameson's 2016 Whiskey Makers Series, which emphasizes different aspects of the production process through the lens of one of Jameson's Heads (Head Blender, Head Cooper, Head Distiller). The Blender's Dog is, of course, the Head Blender Billy Leighton's bottling. The forgotten art in the process of whiskey making, blending is essential to creating complex, harmonious, and consistent products from batch to batch. Leighton's weapon of choice is a "dog," a small container on the end of a chain (a leash?) that he uses to extract samples from each cask. The final product is a marriage of grain and of pot still whiskeys aged in ex-bourbon and in ex-sherry casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, this whiskey is non-chill filtered. Available in the US as of November 2017.…

About the brand

Contrary to its origins in 1780 Ireland, Jameson Whiskey was actually founded by Scottish-born lawyer John Jameson. The brand began as part of 6 main whiskeys produced and distilled at the Jameson Distillery located in Bow Street, Dublin Ireland. However, production of this iconic whiskey was taken over around 1966 by Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of French aperitif manufacturer Pernod Ricard; owner of renowned brands such as Chivas Regal and Absolut Vodka. Originally available by the cask only, it wasn’t until 1968 that this superior whiskey could be purchased by the bottle. Since that time, Jameson Whiskey has expanded the brand and is now sold in over 130 countries worldwide. This distinct Irish whiskey uses a unique triple-distillation process along with expertly sourced oak barrels from England, Spain, and the US in the creation and aging of all of its whiskies.
