Jameson vs Bushmills Irish Whiskey!

[@NeoComicus]

Bushmills for me, especially the Bushmills single malts - the 10, 12 and especially 16 year old.

[@csulb75]

I agree 100%. Bushmills is smoother and better tasting than Jameson to me. Also why anyone would pollute either with water or ice is beyond my understanding. I have had much more costly and more highly rated Irish whiskeys and have not found any to be better than Bushmills to me. I am not a connoisseur of fine sprits, but I know what like.

[@theUnArtist]

As those should. They are priced higher and it shows

[@Ali-eo9tx]

Bushmills actually bottles Jameson . Went for a tour of the distillery and was surprised to see Jameson boxes on the production line. Tour guide explained they had been bottling Jameson for years

[@karadordarkraven]

Black Bush is very good & the single malt Bushmills is fantastic!

[@vincentmcnabb939]

For the price, no question about that.

[@danjames5552]

I have a bushmills 10 year old at my feet and it's nearly finished, GREAT 👍

[@gungho1345]

Tullamore D.E.W. is my preference.

[@shawnratashak1296]

You are the first person I know that actually would admit that.

[@MarcelGomesPan]

I actually drink a lot of Jameson ( that sounded wrong ). It works well with listening to some tunes. I would , however never choose between a Jameson or a Guinness. I drink them side by side if i have access to both at the same time ( i love stouts and porters ). To me Jameson is a bit of rock n’ roll juice. Even people who normally dont enjoy whisky/whiskey often like it ( like my sister ). A Lagavullin or Oban is more a cigar and coffee thing. Jameson more of a ”get in a good mood and enjoy 90’s music” thing. 🥃🍺

[@RyanJohnson-tk7hy]

If could give you 1 million thumbs up for this great and accurate comment, I would. Cheers man. 👍👍🍻🍻🥃🥃

[@derrickharmon7980]

Should try a pb milk stout with a good pb whiskey or sweet dessert whiskey. Pair wonderfully mixed or seperate. Great dessert

[@TheShotgunmaster88]

The rumour about Jameson being for Catholics and Bushmills was true in the 1970's during the troubles and shortly after, I'm Northern Irish and a family member was in the UVF and only drank bushmills, reason why I only drink it today and because of how nice it is IMO. I associate it more with nostalgia so that's why I enjoy it more.

[@bhoy67lisbon]

Any Irish whiskey Jamesone or Bush is better than that scotch crap 🙃

[@TheShotgunmaster88]

@Mr T That's kinda the point mate

[@raftonpounder6696]

@Harry Balls yes. We are British and proud thanks.

[@rogerking2888]

I'm English and I've never heard about the Catholic - Protestant divide on whiskey. Both delicious whiskeys that are lovely when chased down with a nice creamy pint on a cold Friday afternoon, after a week of grafting.

[@tireachan6178]

@Harry Balls Guinness

[@tireachan6178]

@Harry Balls No Problem, I suggest you get yourself a creamy pint 👍

[@LiveWellUkraine]

Jameson is owned by a French company, Pernod Ricard, that just decided to go back into Russia. I've had my last dram of Jamo.

[@robinharris6771]

I don't toss down shots. I sip slow. I buy Bushmills. I think Jameson's is a bit "softer" . Bushmills has a bit more bite to it. I can understand the younger folks who toss their shots preferring Jamesons. Now, this part may draw criticism, but I get to enjoy my whiskey my way. I like my Bushmills over a little ice. With that bite,it holds up better to the ice,IMO. I enjoy Johnnie Walker Red the same way. FWIW, I don't pour Red Breast or Green Spot etc over ice. Neither do I pour McCallans or any other fine Whiskey over ice. But IMO, its no crime with Bushmills or JW Red. They come out of the "Regular 85 Octane" pump IMO. Ice suits them.

[@RyanJohnson-tk7hy]

I messed up. I never knew that Jameson was made in County Cork. My ancestors came to America from County Cork and I usually drink Jameson on St. Patrick's Day and today (St. Patrick's Day 2022 ) I decided to try Bushmills. Both whiskeys are good though. But I really like Tullamore Dew the best.

[@DonCue]

This is an old video, but Jameson Black Barrel is lovely. And Middleton is exquisite... and $100 a bottle

[@roostercotten988]

Would love to know what y’all think of Buchanan’s whisky

[@AaronPeabody]

Y'all need to try some Redbreast! I just finished off my bottle of the 12 year old cask strength. Delicious…

[@shawnratashak1296]

My Irish whiskey of preference is Bushmills Black, although I am really enjoying the 12 year that I got a great deal on. As for Jameson's, I think most variants are very drinkable but I haven't found one that is a better value for the flavor than Bushmills.

[@dancook5057]

Jameson for me. Bushmills seems like it's heavier to me and tastes a bit Smokey. The buzz from Jameson always seems to be lighter and I have much more fun with.

[@vincentmcnabb939]

Bushmills is definitely superior to Jameson. Much more complexity to it. Jameson is designed for cheap bar shots and as a mixer for Irish coffee or cocktails. It is what it is. The best Irish whiskeys come out of the Middleton stable, though. Rare old Middletons are as good as any whisk(e)y ever bottled.

[@chadashton7029]

I like Bushmills whiskey sours. Prefer it to bourbon for that particular cocktail.

[@wanderer3591]

At my favorite Irish pub, the bartender and I tried a number of regular Irish Whiskeys (i.e., not barrel select, etc.), and to be honest, I had a difficult time distinguishing between them. They do not have the distinction that Scotch whisky has. That does not mean that I don't like Jamesons or Bushmills, which I do, but they are very different from the distinctiveness of Scotch, which I prefer (particularly Talisker :-))

[@luissantiago8446]

With you on Talisker. Taste evokes the landscape it comes from; Isle of Skye

[@martindurkin8837]

Lads: at $30 a bottle here in Pa. I would say Jameson is definitely middle shelf for this Squire.

[@MALEXI10]

Just to clarify, gents, the Irish Tricolour doesn't apply to either drinks technically. They were both founded when Ireland was apart of the UK when the Tricolour didnt exist. Bushmills is now a Northern Ireland (UK) product. Hope this helps.

[@WingsandBeer]

The Jameson green bottle makes it look like "rot gut" whiskey. Clear bottles so you can see the product is better.

[@afu9718]

My salary 22 bottle of Bush mill and one of it on my hand 😂. I'm gonna try Jameson next month

[@eleanoralexander6752]

Bushmills by far the better Irish whiskey but you would be best trying a selection the port and sherry cask Bushmills whiskey are well powerful!

[@eleanoralexander6752]

@@3dScience_uk aye Bushmills is just a different breed like we actually have three of the millennium malt. We are probably what you would call casual collectors and if you take time to properly try the different Bushmills whiskeys it’s amazing 👌🏻

[@eleanoralexander6752]

@@3dScience_uk fair play! Here if you ever get a tour round the Bushmills factory I recommend that you make sure you get their hot totties at the end it’s so worth it.

[@Garbanzo884]

Most of my Irish ancestors were Catholic and came from County Cork.

[@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603]

Cork started by monks took over by the Vikings. Then became a English walled city to defend against the Catholics. Took the Huff against the English burnt down by the Black and Tans British. Then back to being Irish. Long history sort lol

Now try Jameson vs Proper no 12.

[@SuperDwight15]

Jameson - Chocolate Bushmills - Fruit.

[@MrStelver]

So bizzare the Jameson was more than the Bushmills, in my country Bushmills is seen as better, not only, but also because it costs about a third more usually.

[@stevejessemey8428]

You guys make it look like you are both drinking an expensive bottle of Cristal Champagne 🥂

[@dansomething7742]

I was never a fan of Jameson, but I picked up a bottle of Bushmills recently and its much better (in my opinion only, please dont kill me Catholics)

[@mattemal6054]

As good Catholics, always drank Jameson. Bushmills is “Protestant Whiskey”😉

[@dansomething7742]

Ironic because the current master distiller at Bushmills is Catholic. And that the founder of Jameson was most likely Protestant Edit: I wrote this before I saw them address it in the video🤦‍♂️

[@mattemal6054]

@@dansomething7742 yes, irony can be very ironic sometimes.

[@W4RR4NTW0LF]

By far, one of the BEST videos yet... %95 due to Coraline's reactions through the whole thing. I love it. :D

[@biguenzo]

Jameson better IMO by far. Regards from España.

[@NYCWolfhound]

If you want better Irish whiskey, try Redbreast 12 Cask Strength, Teeling 15-Year-Old, Green Spot and Teeling. If you want something more in the direction of Scotch... try Connemara Peated Irish Whiskey.

[@vincentmcnabb939]

All true for mid-range whiskey. Rare old Middletons at the top-end are easily among the finest spirits ever distilled in Ireland or elsewhere.

[@raftonpounder6696]

Bushmills is from Northern Ireland. Different country.

Talking about UK products with an RoI flag in the thumbnail? Bushmills is from the UK. At least use the St Patrick’s Saltire on St Patrick’s Day.

[@penguin0101]

Coraline is harsh jezzz 😢

[@thomaspatton4401]

I'll stick with Scotch. Tried some Cutty Sark the other day, I was not impressed. Especially after having tried Scotches like Jonny Walker Black, Red and Gold, Dewar's White Label and my favorite so far The Dalmore. The Cutty was lighter in color which was a red flag to start with and the flavor and bite you would come to expect was very diminished, It put me in mind of the lite beer you guys tried, "One step above Clear." "I can feel the weight leaving me as we speak!" My own Quote; "Waterlogged, much like the ship of the same name!" NOT at all what should be going through your mind when drinking Scotch. I'm just glad I tried it at a restaurant (before they closed), That way I wasn't stuck with a whole bottle of what amounts to "Ghost Whiskey" (the spirit of what it was in a former life). I would like to try Tobermorey next but I can't find it anywhere. I would also like to try Logavulin but at $100.+ per bottle is a bit out of my budget. So, the moral of this story is more of a heads up to deter you away from the Cutty Sark; the Original Ghost Beer-er-Whiskey. I don't even want to call it Scotch. It is BAAAD Ju-Ju! Keep up the good work guys I'm still enjoying the videos and now the new ones with Coraline, Very Good! Very Well Done All!

[@Fuxjaga]

In fact I didn’t taste an Irish whiskey which could approach scotch single malt. There are some reasonable Irish e. g. Jameson black barrel or Connemara (their standard is better than the 12y. ) but none of them gets close to a Scottish and esp. an Islay 😋🥃

[@danjames5552]

I like a arran myself, suits me fine !!!!

[@dylanmorrison951]

There is no Jamison OR guinness when offered it's always y not both. Or maby I just drink to much.

[@douglasfrank9323]

Not a fan fan of Irish whiskey. It's my last choice, well behind scotch, rye and bourbon. Coraline as the "mean one" is funny. Her expressions were fun to watch.

[@EndorphinFactory]

Not lower shelf

[@danjames5552]

More bottom shelf , or as I like to call it " it will have to do as I have no scotch "

[@dalekidd420]

LMAO! Okay, time to set this straight! The ONLY damn thing an Irishman cares about in his whiskey is that it contains ALCOHOL!!! If you think the Scots are pinchpennies, you ain't seen NUTHIN' till you've seen an Irishman at the bar. ... "Begorah, laddie, an' gimme the cheapest dam whiskey you've got. I'll drink it now an' taste it later..." For what it's worth... of the two, I usually drink Jameson's. BUT, I ALWAYS prefer a good single malt Scotch. Note, though; there ARE some GOOD Irish whiskeys out there. But not at THIS price point.

[@dalekidd420]

PS: Diageo is one of the biggest spirits conglomerates out there. Among others, they own Johnny Walker and the famous Crown Royal Canadian whiskey. (I used to work at the Crown Royal plant in Amherstburg, ON.) Plus, I might add, literally DOZENS of other major brands.
