This Paddy Old Irish Whisky was bottled in the 1980's.

This Paddy Old Irish Whisky was bottled in the 1970's.

This Paddy Old Irish Whisky was bottled in the 1960's.

This Jameson JJ12 was bottled at the Bow Street Distillery in 1970 and, as such, distilled in 1958.

In 2017, Jameson is proud to be working with Steve McCarthy, a Dublin based designer and illustrator.

Sine Metu is the Jameson family motto and it has been at the heart of the company since it was founded in 1780. It translates to “Without Fear” and is an attitude that means being open to new people and new experiences. It is the creative starting point for Steve’s approach.

‘Chance your arm’ is a very Irish expression, which is about believing that something great could happen when you dare to try something new.

In 1492 ‘Black James’ Butler and his men found themselves barricaded behind the door to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. On the other side was Gearóid Fitzgerald who, tired of the constant fighting, decided it was time to make peace. Fitzgerald ordered his men to cut a hole in the door before extending his hand through the gap as a token of friendship. Rather than cut his arm off with a sword, Butler shook it and the long standing feud came to an end, giving Dublin one of its most famous sayings – ‘to chance your arm’.

In Steve’s design he has brought the ‘chance your arm’ story to life with two outstretched hands, exchanging a handshake which is framed by the St. Patrick’s Cathedral door of Reconciliation. On the knuckles of each hand can be found the tattooed words “Sine” and “Metu”, a reference to the people around the world that have been inspired by the Jameson family motto and have etched it upon their skin as a reminder that when you fear a bit less, you live a bit more.

In the background of Steve’s design are depictions of landmarks around the city that are loved by the people of Dublin and the artist himself. The bottle depicts historic Dublin landmarks such as the Ha’penny bridge across the River Liffey, the surrounding Irish mountains and the Smithfield tower. Steve’s own story is told through on the neck of the bottle as it represents the view at night from the windows of his old studio.

Connemara Natural Cask Strength was introduced in 2000. This one, bottled at 60,7% abv, seems to have been released some 10 years later, although Cooley seems to purposly not add any information as to the age and/or release date of their products.

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 <em>Bushi</em> or Samurai, who is identified with his <em>ichimonji gasa</em> or flat hat, carrying what we can only assume is a cask of delicious Irish Whiskey.

Black Bush is a blend with a significantly greater proportion of malt whiskey than the white label. It features malt whiskey aged in casks previously used for Spanish Oloroso sherry.

“Jameson Japan Limited 2021” is the third in the popular Japan-only bottle series released in 2018 and 2020. Made in Ireland and loved around the world as the No. 1 Irish whiskey *, Jameson develops label designs for just one country only for the Japanese market. For the third installment, Irish designer David McMillan is appointed. Ireland, the birthplace of Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day, has created a “tasting” limited edition design that pays homage to Japanese culture.

The theme of the design is “connection”. Various people share the same time, enjoy their favorite drinks and snacks, and connect with their friends. With the motif of a Japanese “izakaya”, they express the interaction between Ireland and Japan, and their cross-border friends. .. The noren with the brand logo is filled with the feeling that “Jameson” welcomes everyone, and while enjoying “Jameson Soda” at a Japanese izakaya, the connection that spreads indiscriminately tells the uniqueness of “Jameson”. A lantern that makes you feel Japanese is drawn on the neck label, and it is designed so that you can read the words “Founded in 1780”, which is the year when “Jameson” was founded, and “Triple distillation”, which creates a smooth taste.

Known primarily for their Cognacs there was a short moment in time Hennessy released a Pure Single Malt Whiskey as well: Na-Geanna (Wild Geese in Gaelic), distilled at Cooley's, bottled exclusively for Japan around the turn of the century.

Jameson Gold, originally named Jameson XO, was launched in 1996, primarily for the Asian market. Gold is a blend of 3 port-still whiskies and 1 grain whisky, aged in Virgin American Oak.

The Midleton Very Rare 1993 is a blend which consists of 12- to 25-year old Irish whiskies, aged in selected Bourbon and Sherry Casks. First released in 1984; limited to 50 casks per year.

The work of Dublin street artist, James Earley, the bottle marks the start of the brand’s ‘#BeOriginal’ campaign, which was launched globally in March 2016.

The 2016 bottle was inspired by the bridges crossing the River Liffey in Dublin, and reflects how structures like this represent the “soul of modern Dublin” by linking spaces, people and ideas.

Earley has incorporated key features of Irish bridges into his design, including the Grattan, Sean O’Casey and Samuel Beckett, while also depicting his love for Dublin through details such as the Atlantis and Anna Livia visual icons.

He has also used the slogan ‘Dublin, our city’, to emphasise the “welcoming atmosphere of the city”.
