Description: Jameson Irish Whiskey this week announced that its 18-year whiskey is getting a make-over inside and out. In a move whiskey aficionados will greatly appreciate, the brand is giving the upscale whiskey’s proof a 12-point bump. The ABV of Jameson 18 Years has been increased from 40% to 46%, removing the need for chill-filtration and resulting in a whiskey with a richer mouthfeel and more depth of flavor.

With sustainability in mind, Jameson 18 Years is also ditching its wooden presentation box and will now be presented in a lightweight, fully recyclable cardboard box with foil accents. The new packaging will feature a scannable QR code that will direct Jameson fans to a virtual guided tasting hosted by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman.
