Jameson's St Patrick Day Bottle celebrates the holiday for the seventh year in a row. Partnering with Irish illustrator Claudine O'Sullivan, British designer Alex Mellon and Irish photographer Leonn Ward, Jameson has come out with a fantastic design that celebrates the history of the whisky and the country it calls home. The design of the bottle features a photo shot against Ha’penny Bridge by Ward, along with hand-drawn eagles, banners and symbols that that represent Irish tribes. Jameson's St Patrick Day Bottle was inspired by the mythological Irish warriors known as the Fianna and represents the unity, loyalty and friendship celebrated by these warriors.
In addition to the intriguing design, the limited-edition bottle will also contain a NFC chip. This chip will allow buyers to access content on Jameson's website and will provide the story behind the design of the bottle. The limited-edition Jameson's St Patrick Day Bottle will be available in 35 countries, including Ireland, Japan and Australia.
