Jameson Bow Street Cask Strength 18 Year Irish Whiskey

18 years. Cask Strength. Bow Street. Jameson — a rare pot still and grain Irish whiskey blend produced at Midleton, aged roughly two decades, then brought to the original Jameson Bow Street Distillery in Dublin for a final married maturation in oak before bottling at natural cask strength — the only Jameson expression finished on the original 1780 distillery site.

The Bow Street address — 17 Smithfield, Dublin — is where John Jameson founded his distillery in 1780. The site closed in 1971 when production moved to Midleton, but the original warehouse was preserved and is now used for the Bow Street 18 Year's married maturation. At cask strength, it presents the full concentration of the pot still and grain blend without dilution — significantly more intense than the standard Jameson 18 Year at 40% ABV.
