Jameson is an Irish blended whiskey produced by the Irish Distillers subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. Originally, Jameson was one of the six main Dublin whiskeys of the Jameson Distillery Bow St.; today, it is distilled at the New Midleton Distillery in County Cork.
It is by far the best-selling Irish whiskey in the world; it has been sold internationally since the early 19th century and is available in over 130 countries. Jameson is made from a blend of grain whiskey and single pot still whiskey, using a mix of malted and unmalted or "green" Irish barley, all sourced from within a 50-mile radius of the distillery in Cork.
The barley is dried in a closed kiln fired by natural gas (formerly anthracite coal). This contrasts with the traditional method used in some Scottish whisky distilleries, which fire the kiln with peat, imparting a distinctive peat aroma.
