- With annual sales of 8.1 million cases (2019) Jameson is undisputable leader in Irish whiskey category outselling the number 2 brand, Tullamore Dew (1.5 million cases) almost 6 to 1 (the third in line, Bushmills sold close to 821,500 cases).
Product description
With annual sales of 8.1 million per year (2019), Jameson's position as the sales leader in the Irish whiskey segment seems unchallenged (the next in the ranking – Tullamore Dew and Bushmills achieved sales of 1.5 million and 821.5 thousand cases, respectively).
John Jameson built a distillery in Dublin in 1780, but the Jameson brand didn’t debut until 1963; prior to that, local whiskey was sold through brokers, usually as “Dublin Whiskey.” Since 1975, Jameson whiskey has been produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, and since 1988, it has been owned by the French company Pernod Ricard. Here we present a set of two bottles of Jameson, the core of the company’s core offering:
Jameson Irish Whiskey, the standard and best-selling version of Jameson, is a blend of single pot still and single grain distillates aged primarily in American oak barrels.
Jameson Signature Reserve , intended for distribution in the Travel Retail chain, is a whiskey blended using single pot still distillates matured largely in Oloroso sherry casks.
