\u201cWe\u2019re a serious whiskey but from a family atmosphere \u2013 whiskey is at the heart of that family.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Billy Leighton<\/p>\n

With almost a decade of experience as Head Blender behind him, Billy\u2019s precision can be traced back to his first role, as a trainee accountant at Irish Distillers\u2019 Old Bushmill Distillery. When given the opportunity to move into production, Billy went from calculating VAT to the Vatting House, where he prepared the whiskey for bottling. As the years went by, his duties grew, eventually encompassing blending, warehousing, maturation and expanding further into distilling. Today his role sees him marrying together a range of notes, ages and grain types, creating a palette of tastes that combine to make up the entire Family of Jameson Whiskey.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
