Jameson is marking its 200th year of whiskey-making with a new entry in its Reserve Series: Distiller’s Batch, which the brand unveiled Tuesday and will roll out nationwide in September at a suggested retail price of $49.99. Crafted by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman at Midleton Distillery, Distiller’s Batch traces its roots to a mashbill handwritten by John Jameson II in 1826, a notebook still kept in the distillery’s archive. “Distiller’s Batch is our way of celebrating that origin story.” “Jameson has been crafting Irish whiskey for over 200 years and Distiller’s Batch is our latest chapter,” she said, pointing to the whiskey’s spice, orchard fruit and dark chocolate finish alongside “the smoothness Jameson is known for.” Distiller’s Batch joins the Jameson Reserve Series, the brand’s series that focuses on cask finishes, aging techniques and flavor-driven expressions that sit above the standard lineup.
