We Tried EVERY Jameson Whiskey... (So You Don't Have To)

[@toni46]

Surprised the Jameson stout wasn't part of the lineup. The best one in my opinion.

[@FLXBeerReviews]

For sure.

Headed to the comments to say the same. Cheers!

Nor the crested

[@billsedutto8824]

Yes!

[@chrisbiddle8055]

So weird, I like Jameson, I like stouts, but I don't like the cask mates

[@ThomasTVP]

One that's missing that is very good is the Caskmates Stout Edition. Really nice caramel and coffee flavour. Also, the one often considered the best value of the range, The Crested. A considerable step up over the standard Jameson at an affordable price.

Crested May well be the best offering from Jameson. Sadly, it is not available in the US.

I was fortunate that my daughter picked me up a Jameson 18 year Bow Street in Ireland. For at least the last 6 months it is finished in Bourbon barrels. I love it!!

[@scottcanavan8814]

They do the black at cask strength at the distillery….and you get to fill the bottle off the barrel yourself….i just did it yesterday it was a great experience….

[@ChadWinters]

I did that a couple years ago, was sad when the bottle was gone

[@apeekintime]

I tried to have a buddy pick me one up while he was over there. He didn't have time and I'm kind of glad I saved the $200. Not really something I need when Red Breast Cask Strength exists, but I am curious

[@paulvanslyke3264]

Jameson Gold Label. I have a bottle and pour one drink a year out of it.

I did it 2 weeks ago. Created my own label too. Great tour, wasn't it? We had an independent tour guide who took us to Guinness right after.

[@jaredgunderson6530]

Jameson was the first whiskey I ever had, so it’ll always have a special place for me. Also a big fan of the Black Barrel

[@teschvalleyrailroad]

My brother dislikes Jameson, so I never even tried it until my local liquor store suggested the Black Barrel after seeing the other bourbons I was buying. I now always have a bottle of Black Barrel in supply. Good stuff neat, on the rocks, or even in a few cocktails.

[@scottcanavan8814]

As far as a cocktail….we were served ginger ale, Jameson and lime as the distillery cocktail and saw it served quite a bit in Ireland

[@anthonyvella2787]

Totally agree !!! I was at Bow street in Dublin last year

[@lazygoodan]

We also had that at the Midleton distillery. Quite nice.

[@ChristopherNeeme]

I've always thought that if you really want to or have to add ginger ale to whiskey, Jameson is the go to choice for that.

[@julianalgarin9733]

The Irish Mule

[@Average_BourbonDad]

Great video. I’d love to see y’all continue this type of series. Maybe a Bushmills, Glenfiddich etc line up.

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

They do the Black Barrel at 50% and cask strength, and I think the 50% is the best of the three options. If you want to experiment with other whiskeys from the Midleton distillery, try the powers Gold Label. Regular Jameson is about 70% grain and 30% pot still, while the Gold Label is about 70% pot still and 30% grain!

[@jeffpowanda8821]

Irish Mule: 2 oz. Jameson, 1 oz. lime juice, 6 oz. ginger beer, lime slice, mint sprig, ice.

[@ddreese]

There are many Jameson labels we never see here in the U.S., you have to get them from overseas. The Single Pot Still is one of them. There are a couple that pop up here, such as the Stout finished Caskmates (that along with the IPA you tasted is reportedly discontinued), Black Barrel Proof (50% ABV), The Whiskey Maker's Series of The Blender's Dog, The Cooper's Croze, and The Distiiller's Safe, some that are available in Travel Retail such as Triple Triple, a cask strength version of the 18yo 'Bow Street Edition', a 21yo, a 22yo, Jameson Remastered which is a 15yo SPS, and Jameson Remixed Caribbean Beats, finished in Rum Casks. Several more I could mention. 26 different bottles in my collection. For other distilleries/brands, try Powers, Redbreast, Spot Whiskies and Method & Madness, all Midleton, Bushmills, Teeling, Clonakilty, West Cork, Writer's Tears, Egan's, Dingle, Dunville's. There are probably 120 or so Irish Whiskies generally available across the U.S., but hundreds more available in Ireland.

[@JediMasterGhost]

Well said

[@TheJess42]

I make a Jameson cocktail called Irish Lemonade. Great for summer. 2 oz Jameson, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 6 oz lemonade, 3 oz club soda (recipe calls for lemon club soda but I use regular), garnish with mint leaves (recipe also mentions pineapple or rosemary leaves but I like mint best) Combine whiskey, simple syrup lemonade, and ice in a cocktail shaker, then shake for a couple seconds. Pour over ice then top with club soda. Use a tall glass like a highball.

[@sbombeck5419]

Car Bomb! 1oz Jameson and 1oz Baileys (in the same shot glass) dropped into 2/3 pint of Guinness and consumed quickly!

[@americangto]

Wow, tomato pin cushion... the memories just came flooding back!

[@mericsmith25]

Enjoy Jameson. You should try the other offerings from Middleton distillery. Redbreast and Green Spot are exceptional.

[@FakingANerve]

Redbreast 12 is just *gorgeous!* 😍

[@AdAce21]

Shame they missed the Jameson aged in Stout barrels. That’s my favorite of the bunch

[@Brad-ic4bp]

Agree with the Mr. Black coffee liqueur shout-out. I often make a very simple bourbon and Mr. Black cocktail - with a few dashes of black walnut bitters and/or orange angostura bitters.

[@Urban-bourbon]

Jamison is a distillery in the same manner as many bourbon brands were purchased and placed under an umbrella name. Middleton is a large distillery. It makes several brands. Worth looking into the history of Irish Whisky. If I remember correctly, single pot still means a blend of malted and unmalted barely (legally some minimum of malted) made in one pot still from one distillery.

[@GOTAisMe]

Yes. It's like Jim Beam. Bookers, Knob Creek, Old Grandad etc... aren't sourced just because the name on the bottle isn't Jim Beam. Jameson is the largest brand of Midleton. It's not coming from different places that Midleton doesn't own. They have full control over the whole process unlike a brand that sources.

[@fidddle121]

Black Jack gum was terrific.

[@rachelbusby700]

My favorite cocktail is an Irish breakfast shot. It’s Jameson, Maple syrup, and a shot of OJ. Add a piece of bacon to send it over the top.

I don’t know if this is a legit “cocktail”, but I LOVE Jameson & ginger ale on ice. I can literally drink this ALL night.

[@franks4973]

Thx guys, really like this review. I almost never have Jameson because I generally don’t like the citrus notes in any “whiskeys”. So I have stayed away from Jamesons. Nice to have some to try.

[@fiosfiend]

I just got a bottle of Jameson Triple Triple, which adds a malaga wine cask aging to the normal Jameson process. I'm not a huge fan of Jameson but wow, this stuff is so smooth that it's almost like whiskey flavored water. I don't mean that as a knock, it's really really good.

[@erickschmidt2135]

Simple but refreshing: shot standard Jameson, 7 oz ginger ale, fresh lime The orange and cold brew are fantastic in several cocktails I've had....

[@natetrout1]

While other distilleries use Midleton juice, all Jameson is produced by Midleton at Midleton. Jameson is one of 5 labels they have

[@papasmurf3378z]

I've come to love Irish whiskey over the years, moreso than Kentucky bourbon vs Tennessee whiskey. I find it to be so much more smooth and easy on the pallet. I visited Ireland in June and had the pleasure of touring the Jameson Distillery, among 2 other Irish whisky tours. It was great! Most of the Orange, IPA, Cold, etc. are only popular here in the US. They really only drink standard Jameson in Ireland. My overall favorite Irish whiskey is the Spot brand, specifically Yellow Spot. I don't know if you've reviewed the Spots (Green, Yellow, Blue, Red and Gold) but I'd love to see that! (the Gold 13 is a limited release, which I had the luck of getting while visiting - my 2nd favorite). Love the channel, gentlemen!

[@userperson5259]

Enjoyed this. Not my wheelhouse in general but sure is popular worldwide. I'm with Kurt on the Black Barrel.. I think that's the best one overall.

[@tonycronin3080]

The cold brew mixed with cream soda is great. Didn’t mind my IPA but drank it on the rocks with an IPA to the side. Regular and Black Barrel (favorite) are ones I will normally rotate in. Jameson and ginger ale is a fantastic summer drink

[@patrickb2422]

Bartender here. For cocktails I would definitely opt for a Powers in place of Jameson. A Tipperary is an excellent option for that. Out of that lineup the higher end Jameson offerings might do the trick though.

[@Skwurm2297]

Jameson used to be my favorite drink. I drank it for years, then someone bought me the black, and I decided to try some bourbons because I liked it. I haven’t bought Jameson now in like 5 years because I’m loving bourbon. It’s a good place to get into whiskey, but bourbon just offers so much more. But…. Since your asking, you should do a Bushmill’s distillery review. Their 10 year is the best Irish I’ve ever had. And their Red(bourbon barrel finished) is inincredible. They have a rum cask finished that also really good.

[@nickp5511]

Try to find the Jameson finished in Stout Barrels. And, if you use the Jameson Cold Brew with equal parts of Kaluha, Bailey's, and milk, it's an amazing chocolate milk treat for adults. Sometimes, you need to add a little more milk, and whipped cream helps with the presentation. If I'm using the whipped cream, I'll use a little bit of chocolate powder to sprinkle across the top.

enjoyed the show ,I do like the Black Barrel and have a bottle of the 18 year that my son bought I prefer the black barrel.

of Jameson's my go to is the Black Barrel. Regular is a mixer with Ginger ale. I don't stride too far past those. I don't do the flavored or the super fancy and apparently for a good reason lol. Only Irish Wiskey line that would have some variety would be Tullamore D.E.W. I really liked the Caribbean Rum Finish but I haven't seen it for a while now.

I bought the orange one specifically for Old Fashioned experimentation thinking it would have hints of orange but it tastes ENTIRELY like the generic "orange drink" those of us of a certain age were served as kids. So it remains just another place holder taking up space in my bar.

Great stuff to trick friends! Cheers guys, love your videos!

[@noworldforeric]

Kurt if you do like sours, they are similar to whiskey. Something you don't wanna drink too too much of to enjoy the flavors. It's one of those beers if I see it on a menu, I'm like "here's my one sour for the year" or something. Like, it's a rarity, so I make it an experience. But my favorite sour I've ever had was a pineapple gose. If you ever see anything similar, try it. I am not even close to a beer drinker, like yourself, and I loved it.
