[@AaronFever]

I hope you enjoyed the trip, lads. I worked in Jameson last year and when you announced you were coming to Ireland I got straight on to the higher ups and told them to invite you. It's a shame I couldn't be there to welcome you but I'm glad it looks like it was a good idea

[@WhiskeyTribe]

so you're the reason we were invited? we couldn't figure out how they knew we'd be in the country. thanks man. 👍

[@AaronFever]

Whiskey Tribe you're very welcome! When I started working there as a tour guide I subscribed to your channels so I could learn as much about whiskey as possible. It just made sense to me that we got you in to visit, I was delighted when they agreed 😀

[@DavidEarls17]

Aaron Fever how do you get into this sort of role? A dream job of mine!

[@thorazine8402]

Aaron, you are a true Magnificent Bastard. Thank you for getting the wheels turning. This was a great episode, and Jameson is a wonderful gem of a whiskey and distillery. Thanks again, dude. Sláinte!

[@ToolsOutsideTheBox]

That Jameson tutor dude is cool as F***!!!!

[@ravingpotato8339]

I think their concept is genious. I get a feeling, that Jameson does many things right, in sense of marketing, that Gibson guitars does wrong. By now I still had a bit of sympathy for Gibson being in a conflict between being an old brand, with a lot of legacy and very specific expectations, how their products should be, and being a modern brand and still being innovative. But apparently, this is how you do it. You keep your original produkt as original as possible and separate your new ideas from that. That way, the experimental stuff can act more freely, being supportet by the big brand, but doesn't compete with it by having the same name.

[@WhiskeyTribe]

you get it. 👍

[@verigone2677]

Which is exactly why Fender hasn't had that problem...American Standard is the traditional...everything else is free game. It also doesn't hurt that their top tier, non-custom guitar is cheap enough (Cheaper than the main brand entry level of Gibson or PRS) that modifying it doesn't feel like a sin. JAmeson's volume helps to keep their experimentation affordable to the consumer, mostly a bunch of midling priced batches that represent themselves very well instead of a few massively overpriced and unavailable expressions.

[@Philboh8]

@Joshua Morgan a nice wholesome documentary/tour about Irish whiskey and there's somehow a racist eejit in the comments. Please don't claim any to have any Irishness, we don't want you

[@drewp.wiener1205]

Went and visited my bud in Ireland 2 months ago - very cool. Dublin is def a large city - but gives perspective as to why their drinks are so important to Ireland's fabric. I thought it was going to be like the stereotypical Aussie beer (Fosters) that nobody there actually drinks, but it's not. Irish people do love their Jameson, Tullamore, and Guiness - among others. The drinks tours we took were equally as beneficial as the landscape. For a whisky guy - it's a worthwhile trip.

[@adammartin7007]

Same here, I’m a big lover of Jameson Whiskey and I have been since I was 16 living in England and I am now 20 still in England. Honestly the best whiskey I have ever had and always will go too is a standard triple distilled Jameson whiskey. Although Jameson Black barrel beats all whiskey ever !!!!

[@AD-kv9kj]

Yeah, I hope they will do more visits to Islay and other places too!

Just yesterday, I bought myself a celebratory bottle of Readbreast 21. It is comfortably the best whiskey I have ever tasted. And so it was really cool to check KZbin this morning to find the tribe guys showing us the very stills where it gets made!

[@jong2359]

I gained a lot of respect for Jameson after watching this... I barely put them above plastic bottle whiskey mentally, an ignorance that has kept me away from tasting their whiskey my whole life. I will have to pick up a bottle just because they run a cool ship.

As a fellow whisk(e)y enthusiast who has been there as well, this video captured everything that distillery stands for. Everybody at Jameson Middleton loves what they do, are extremely knowledgeable about the entire process, and are some of the most friendly people on the planet. We spent 3 hours there, including the small batch "laboratory", and I felt like I still had so much to learn and experience. Bringing the bottle of Distiller's Reserve back home made up for it a bit though.
