John Jameson 1780 Special Reserve 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey - 1980s (75cl, 43%)

A 12 year old Irish whiskey from John Jameson, bottled in the 1980s at 43% in a 75cl bottle. It is named in honour of the founding of the Bow Street distillery in Dublin by John Jameson in 1780. The first Jameson 12 marked a change in Irish distilling. After Jameson, Powers and Cork Distillers joined as Irish Distillers in 1966, the old pot still whiskeys gave way to blends. This one combines pot still whiskey from Bow Street with column still grain whiskey from Power's John's Lane distillery.
