The green giant
Jameson is Irish whiskey to most of the world — around ten million cases a year, six or seven times its nearest Irish rival, all flowing from the vast Midleton distillery in County Cork. Its smoothness made it the world's gateway whiskey. But experts reserve their love for Midleton's other family: the single pot still whiskeys. Redbreast 12 — creamy, spicy, orchard-fruited — is among the most awarded whiskeys on earth, and Green Spot, once a Dublin wine merchant's private bottling, is the insider's choice.
One distillery, two worlds: Midleton makes both Jameson's millions of cases and Redbreast's connoisseur bottlings.
