What Does Triple Distilled Mean?

Updated June 2026.

Triple distilled is a process claim, not a TTB or SWR class. It means the spirit went through three distillation passes. Irish whiskey still has to meet the technical file. Jameson Original prints 40% on Pernod nutrition. Bushmills Original prints 40% / 80 official this project. A 1.5-ounce pour at 40% is one NIAAA drink.
