Even though all Jameson types have a familiar blend of taste, some other things still differentiate them somehow. These are the brewing texture, punch, aroma, and body, to mention a few.

These minute factors, which do not reduce the quality of any of the types of Jameson, can be attributed to minor tweaks in the malting, fermentation, and, most commonly, the distillation process.

There are at least twelve varieties of Jameson in the Whiskey market today. They are:

• Jameson Original. The best-selling Irish Whiskey the world over. Even though it maintains the 'original' title, it has been tweaked over the years.it has an ABV of 40 % and is bottled in a 700ml glass.
• Jameson The Blender's Dog. A limited-edition variety with an NFC chip on the neck to customize labels.
• Jameson The Cooper's Croze. One of the early releases from Jameson, it has five generations of influence under its belt. It celebrates the craft of Head Cooper, Ger Buckley, honoring his mastery at maintaining the treasured casks at the Middleton distillery.

• Jameson Signature Reserve. This Jameson is exclusive to travel retail and duty-free shops worldwide.
• Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve. It contains Jameson's rarest and oldest whiskey components.
• Jameson Select Reserve Black Barrel. The heavy version of the Jameson whiskey brand is a unique pot-still whiskey with a much richer flavor than the regular Jameson, thanks to the mix's abundance of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks.
