John Jameson lived to be 83 an impressive feat for someone born in the 18th century and his descendants John II, John III and John IV all honored his legacy by leading the distillery well into the 20th century.Jameson Irish Whiskey is crafted from a mash of malted and unmalted barley Product hidden area.
