Irish whiskey megabrand Jameson is no stranger to Japan-exclusive bottles. This time around it’s a Tokyo Limited edition.
As we saw with the Japan Limited bottle back in 2018, this 2020 bottle is regular Jameson with a different label slapped on it.
This year’s label design is by Oyakata, who is behind the PUNK DRUNKERS brand. Perhaps it’s not a coincidence he’s working with a liquor.
Despite the “Limited” label, if the 2018 release is any indicator, you should see these everywhere on Japan’s liquor store shelves soon enough (the Amazon JP release date shows September 8).

I would like to know where it is possible to buy the Jamesons whiskey with Japanese labels that were issued in 2018 and 2020. I live in the US bit have frequent trips to Tokyo
