Description

Jameson 18 Year Old Limited Reserve Irish Whiskey (Original Release) is an earlier packaging variant of Jameson’s flagship age-stated expression — the same triple distilled pot still and grain whiskey blend from Midleton Distillery, matured a minimum of 18 years and finished in first-fill bourbon barrels, in the original presentation packaging rather than the current release format.

Jameson 18 Year Limited Reserve represents the world’s best-selling Irish whiskey at full extended maturation — significantly richer, more complex, and more texturally developed than the standard range expressions. The 18 years of maturation in hand-selected American and European oak casks, followed by a first-fill bourbon barrel finish, produces the dried fruit, toffee, vanilla, and warming spice that extended aging in high-quality casks develops. As an original packaging variant, the whiskey inside is the same Limited Reserve expression in prior presentation.
