Originally bearing the name "1780", the year the Distillery was founded, this whiskey now features its age statement as its name. This is the Master's Blender supreme example of the Jameson tradition of maturing whiskey in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. The Master Blender has hand-picked three whiskeys which have been matured in seasoned Olorosso sherry casks for at least 18 years.Then Jameson 18 Years Old is transferred to american bourbon barrels for a further 6 months, to put the final finishing touches to this unique and complex whiskey.

- Color
- warm golden
- Nose
- Leather, unnamed fruit, cooling alcohol
- Body
- Silky, heavy, slightly oily
- Palate
- Grapefruit, like sitting in a grove in summer warm, mild and slightly earthy, caramel and molasses
- Finish
- A moderate finish just the right burn, grapefruit stays with you
A simple (in a good way) and satisfying whiskey, great mouth feel, soft and warm quite refreshing, you may have to search this jameson out but it is well worth it one of my favorite irish whiskeys

- Color
- Dark Amber
- Nose
- Over Ripe Fruit, Citrus and Linseed Oil.
- Body
- Medium, Mouth Filling.
- Palate
- Over Ripe Oranges, A Little Honey and the taste of chewing on a Wheat Stalk. (For those Farm Boys out There).
- Finish
- Long Slightly Sweet and again the Wheat Stalk.
Not to Complex but Very Good. The different flavors seem to blend together and form One Very Pleasant Taste. I Liked It.
