[1] It has been sold internationally since the early 19th century, and is available to buy in over 130 countries. [2] Company history [ edit ] John Jameson and his family [ edit ] In April 2023 Ukrainian Ambassador to Ireland, Larysa Gerasko, called for a boycott of Jameson Whiskey as the company continued to trade with Russia after sanctions were introduced after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The introduction of column stills by the Scottish blenders in the mid-19th century enabled increased production that the Irish, still making labour-intensive single pot still whiskey, could not compete with. There was a legal enquiry somewhere in 1908 to deal with the trade definition of whiskey. The Scottish producers won within some jurisdictions, and blends became recognised in the law of that jurisdiction as whiskey. The Irish in general, and Jameson in particular, continued with the traditional pot still production process for many years. By the turn of the 19th century, it was the second-largest producer in Ireland and one of the largest in the world, producing 1,000,000 gallons annually. Dublin at the time was the centre of world whiskey production. It was the second most popular spirit in the world after rum and internationally Jameson had by 1805 become the world's number one whiskey. Today, Jameson is the world's third-largest single-distillery whiskey.Jameson Crested Ten is a brand made by Jameson. It has an ABV of 40%. The brand was launched in 1963 and is Jameson's oldest bottled brand. [15] Not 10 years old as the name suggests, the majority of the blend is 7–8 years with approximately 60% of the blend being pot still and 40% grain. As of 2006, it is not widely available outside Ireland. On 12 May 2023, Irish Distillers said it would no longer export Jameson to Russia. [11] Irish Distillers said that their parent company Pernod Ricard had decided to cease export of all international brands to Russia. [11] The company also said it would cease distribution of its portfolio in Russia, a process that would take months.
