Aaron Taylor-Johnson Toasts Jameson Black Barrel from Jameson Irish Whiskey, crafted to savor, share, and spark connection.
There’s something about the holiday season that invites a richer pour, a deeper laugh, and a toast that lingers. Enter Jameson Black Barrel Irish whiskey, a blend crafted not just to drink, but to experience. This year, the brand’s global “Must be a Jameson” campaign gets a cinematic twist, with Golden Globe–winning actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson raising a glass to its timeless allure.
The film — a stylish, playful nod to Irish craftsmanship and modern charisma — captures what makes Jameson Black Barrel an experience to savor and share. Because when your whiskey’s as smooth as your storytelling, who says you can’t do both?
The Craft Behind the Char: What Makes Jameson Black Barrel Shine
At the heart of the Jameson Black Barrel legend lies meticulous artistry. Blended and triple-distilled at the iconic Midleton Distillery in Cork, Ireland, this whiskey gets its signature smoothness from twice-charred barrels — a process that deepens the flavor and character.
Taylor-Johnson recalls,
“WHEN I VISITED THE HOME OF JAMESON IN CORK, IRELAND,
I WAS INSPIRED BY THE GENUINE METICULOUSNESS TO CRAFT
AND PROCESS,
AS WELL AS AN ALLEGIANCE TO THE COMPANY ETHOS.”
In his own fun-loving way, Taylor-Johnson embodies the brand’s charm: confident, refined, a little mischievous. Working alongside visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos, he found the sweet spot between cinematic art and whiskey appreciation.
“From the Master Cooper to the Master Blender,
I witnessed firsthand the collective passion
to create and define the prestige of the Jameson Black Barrel product.
The collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos was exhilarating—
working with such a visionary director to proudly uphold the legacy of a product I deeply admire.”
That’s a toast to teamwork, taste, and a bit of storytelling flair — a mix any film lover (or whiskey fan) can get behind.
Where Artistry Meets Celebration
This season, Jameson is stepping into the spotlight at ComplexCon in Las Vegas (November 16–17) — the kind of pop-culture playground where music, fashion, and flavor meet. As the official whiskey partner, Jameson Black Barrel invites festivalgoers to experience its bold taste firsthand, surrounded by tastemakers and creatives.
Because let’s face it: in cities like Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Berlin, there’s a time for Champagne — and then there’s a time for whiskey that means something.
Johan Radojewski, Vice President of Marketing at Jameson Irish Whiskey, puts it best:
“WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF JAMESON BLACK BARREL TO INSPIRE CURIOSITY AND CONNECTION WITH WHISKEY LOVERS AROUND THE WORLD.”
And who can argue? Amidst the bustle of holiday shopping, rooftop parties, and candlelit dinners, Jameson Black Barrel invites you to pause — to raise a glass to the people who make the season brighter, funnier, and yes, more flavorful.
A Toast to the Season (and Your Inner Storyteller)
Chairman and CEO Nodjame Fouad of Irish Distillers, the makers of Jameson, echoes that sentiment:
“WE’RE EXCITED TO SPOTLIGHT OUR BELOVED JAMESON BLACK BARREL AND ITS SLEEK NEW LOOK AS LOVED ONES COME TOGETHER TO EMBRACE THE WARMTH OF THE SEASON.”
With a suggested retail price of $37.99, it’s an attainable luxury — a gift that blends sophistication with approachability, much like the crowd at a SoHo loft or an Aspen après-ski lounge.
