Jameson 2018 Japan Bushi Limited Edition

 
 

199,95

Following on the initial success of the inaugural Japanese exclusive Caskmates bottling comes this 2018 exclusive Japan only limited edition expression. Each year, Jameson teams up with a local artist to produce a wonderful “Japanified” label to adorn the classic Jameson recipe enjoyed by millions around the globe. The artist in question is Yu Suda of Tama, Tokyo. Suda explores his Japanese history, culture and identity through his expressive and entertaining depictions and has worked for numerous clients including NIKE and Japan Airlines. The image in question appears to showcase the training of a Bushi or Samurai, who is identified with his ichimonji gasa or flat hat, carrying what we can only assume is a cask of delicious Irish Whiskey.

Description

The company was founded in 1780 when John Jameson established the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin. Jameson was Scottish, a lawyer from Alloa who had married Margaret Haig, a sister of the brothers who founded the main Haig firms, and related to the Steins, a Scottish distilling family with interests in Dublin. In 1780 the Bow Street Distillery was producing about 30,000 gallons annually. By the turn of the 19th century, it was the second largest producer in Ireland and one of the largest in the world, producing 1,000,000 gallons annually. Dublin at the time was the centre of world whiskey production. It was the second most popular spirit in the world after rum and internationally Jameson had by 1805 become the world’s number one whiskey.

In 1966 John Jameson merged with Cork Distillers and John Powers to form the Irish Distillers Group. The New Midleton Distillery built by Irish Distillers produces most of the Irish whiskey sold in Ireland. In 1988 the Jameson brand was acquired by the French drinks conglomerate Pernod Ricard when it bought Irish Distillers.

Originally one of the six main Dublin Whiskeys, Jameson is now distilled in Cork. The old Jameson Distillery now serves as a museum.
