Irish Blended Whiskey FAQs

What is blended Irish whiskey?

Blended Irish whiskey is a mix of grain whiskey with malt and/or pot still whiskey, all made and aged in Ireland. By law, Irish whiskey must mature for at least three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. Blending gives a lighter, smoother style than most single malts.

Is Jameson a blended whiskey?

Yes, Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blend of single pot still whiskey and grain whiskey. It is made at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, triple-distilled and matured in oak casks, including ex-bourbon barrels and sherry casks.

Why is Irish whiskey triple distilled?

Many Irish whiskeys are distilled three times because the extra distillation produces a lighter, cleaner and smoother spirit. Scotch is usually distilled twice. Not every Irish whiskey is triple-distilled, but the practice is closely linked with brands such as Jameson, Bushmills and Tullamore D.E.W.
