John Jameson founded his whiskey distillery in Dublin in the year 1780. All the craft of the centuries-old tradition of making Irish whiskey is used to produce Jameson. From the rich countryside of Ireland come nature's finest barley and crystal clear water. These natural ingredients are carefully distilled 3 times, and slowly matured for long years in oak casks to create the natural, smooth whiskey that is Jameson. Jameson 12 Year Old is the best known aged whiskey in all the family of Jameson premium whiskeys. Originally bearing the name, “1780”, for the year of foundation of the distillery, it now features its age statement as its name. The whiskey offers a taste promise of unrivalled quality and smoothness, and is a great choice to enter the world of Premium Irish whiskeys. The Jameson Gold is a creative and distinctive whiskey, listed amongst the top five blends in the world. In true Jameson style, the Master Distiller boldly chose to move away from the restrictions of age profiles, consisting of a blend of the three best whiskeys of advanced year, one of which is uniquely matured in virgin oak barrels.

On the nose, the Jameson Gold portrays fragrant wood and rich pot still with a touch of sherry sweetness. A creaminess and honey sweetness combines in the mouth to create a sensuous taste of spicy character. The very long finish really caps it off with a pleasantly peppery finale.

Closure: STELVIN

Alternative wine closures are substitute closures used in the wine industry for sealing wine bottles in place of traditional cork closures. The emergence of these alternatives has grown in response to quality control efforts by winemakers to protect against "cork taint" caused by the presence of the chemical trichloroanisole (TCA).

Screw caps or "Stelvin caps" are closures made only from aluminium material that threads onto the bottleneck. They are the predominant closure used by New Zealand wineries.[8][9] This can be attributed in part to the New Zealand screw cap initiative which promotes the use of screw caps instead of cork. Screw caps form a tighter seal and can keep out oxygen for a longer time than cork. These benefits aid in maintaining the wine's overall quality and aging potential.

Vino-Seal, or Vino-Lok, is a plastic/glass closure released by Alcoa. Since its introduction into the European market in 2003, over 300 wineries have utilized Vino-Seal. Using a glass stopper with an inert o-ring, the Vino-Seal creates a hermetic seal that prevents oxidation and TCA contamination.

Zork is an alternative wine closure that seals like a screw cap and pops like a cork. The Zork closure consists of three parts; an outer cap providing a tamper evident clamp that locks onto the band of a standard cork mouth bottle, an inner metal foil which provides an oxygen barrier similar to a screw cap, and an inner plunger which creates the ‘pop’ on extraction and reseals after use.

The traditional crowned bottle cap has been used in the sparkling wine industry as a closure during the bottle fermentation process (méthode traditionnelle). Normally the cap is replaced with a cork before shipping, though recently some producers are releasing wines using the crown cap as their closure.
