For those who haven't had a chance to taste the new whiskey yet, it is made from a blend of rich pot still and a small batch grain whiskey. This special whiskey is distilled in small batch quantities on just one occasion each year and is uniquely matured in hand-crafted flamed charred black barrels for the rich smooth Jameson Select Reserve Black Barrel taste. Each barrel is skilfully charred to specification by the 5th Generation Jameson Master Cooper, Ger Buckley, using the same traditions and tools passed down through generations of Jameson Coopers. If you're hooked already bottles of Jameson Select Reserve Black Barrel are available from all good off licences for €45.00
Last time Ger Buckley wowed us all with his barrel demonstration, he's back this time and will be showing us all how Jameson Black Barrel gets its unique flavor and, of course, it's name! He'll be accompanied by craft makers Mamukko who will be demonstrating their craft and encouraging people to create something for themselves.
