Unveiled in 2018, Jameson 18-Year-Old Bow Street Batch No.1 marks a momentous return to Jameson's roots, being the first cask-strength bottled release of the brand since the distillery's modern relocation. Drawing its name from the historic Bow Street site in Dublin where the brand began, this limited-edition whiskey blends three rare and aged Irish pot-still and grain whiskies. Matured for over 18 years in handpicked European and American oak casks at Midleton, the blend receives a final finishing period of six months in first-fill bourbon barrels at the original Bow Street Distillery in Dublin, before being bottled at 55.3% ABV, uncut and unfiltered.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich and evocative, with deep toffee, warm wood spices, and a refined undercurrent of creamy oak, leather, and subtle sherry nuttiness.
Palate: Silky yet powerful, the palate delivers consistent toffee and oak, perfectly harmonized with nuances of vanilla, leather, and gently spiced complexity from the sherry-influenced aging.
Finish: A luxurious, long fade - sweet toffee gives way to enduring toasted oak and warming spice that lingers elegantly to the last drop.
Jameson 18-Year-Old Bow Street Batch No.1 (2018) bridges heritage and innovation, offering a rare, deeply expressive cask-strength whiskey that pays homage to Dublin's storied distilling legacy. A must-have for collectors and aficionados seeking Irish whiskey at its peak.
