FAQ

What makes Jameson Black Barrel different from standard Jameson?
Black Barrel uses a higher proportion of small-batch pot still whiskey and is matured in double-charred barrels, giving it a richer, more intense flavor.

Is Jameson Black Barrel good for cocktails?
Absolutely. Its bold profile holds up well in cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour, while still being smooth enough for sipping.

Does Jameson Black Barrel have smoky notes?
While not smoky in the traditional sense like peated Scotch, the double charring of barrels introduces a subtle toasted character that adds depth.
