Whiskey Makers RANK 8 Jameson Irish Whiskeys

[@loonypeat312]

I love these blinds! Please do more!!

[@geepayne2286]

I have a bottle of uncracked Gold Reserve. Picked it up years ago with by best friend who has since passed away. The mind won't let me sell or drink it... Enjoyed this video.

[@erilassila409]

Jameson Stout is my favorite whiskey outside of Scotland, and y'all did it dirty. I recently met another university student at a student event, who happened to have Jameson Stout in his hip flask. I was so goddamn tempted to drink his entire flask when he offered me a sip and I told him it's my favorite.

[@user-sl4sx6dp4c]

yeh dude its by far the best, actually my favourite whiskey and its mad how cheap it is

[@hulkslayer626]

Regular Jameson is soooo good! I recently poured a little just because it was in the front and didn't feel like digging around. Then I did some things and made some food etc... and finally sat down and by the time I had a sniff and a sip, I had forgotten what I had poured. And it was great!! Perfect, in the sense that there is nothing wrong with it. And I was like "Wait... what did I pour?!! This is great!" Was pleasantly surprised when I had remembered what I had poured 😊

[@xander1052]

If you like regular Jameson, I wholeheartedly recommend Black Barrel, it's like if you turned Jameson up to 11

[@KevinDietrich73]

Thanks guys...nothing like waiting to find out the best Jameson whiskey, only to find out you can't get it anymore. Just kidding, I actually learned a lot about comparing whiskey by watching that. I am going to A to B compare what I have in my bar just to see how different it comes out compared to my assumptions on them individually.

[@khrdina]

Want some? Too bad.

[@jacobcrane5088]

THANK YOU!! I find it so helpful when you guys blindly rank the core line up of big brands. I was watching the channel before I turned 21. Once I finally became of age, I couldn’t tell a difference in the bottles that I was buying. I was about to stop drinking whiskey entirely until I noticed a dramatic difference between Jameson Black Barrel and Jack Daniel’s.

[@magickmarck]

Different style of whiskey entirely! But that's cool.

[@PaulJenness]

This has blown my mind a little. I’m a huge Jameson stout fan, and for ages you guys have too. But now lined it up last. Am going to have to try some others now to see what I’m missing. Fun vid!

[@Zaral7]

Great video. But massive upvote for the ad and wise words.

[@remander3873]

Blinds are always entertaining. I've done them many times with my stock. In fact, last year my wife and I set up daily two bottle blinds for each other as an advent calendar. It was so fun and educational that we plan to do it again this year. 🥃

[@derryperkin58]

Love the format, the secrets to comparing that you share with viewers is invaluable. My Journey into the crazy whisky world started over 15 years ago (when I became whisky insane) One of the first 5 bottles that myself and friends had and fell in love with was "Gold". We all called it our gateway drug... I mean whisky. We would tell everyone about how if you did not 'get' whisky, you would after trying Gold. Then there was a brief period where it became scarce so 4 of us ordered a case, and shared the cost. This was a big deal back then, as only a nut job would ever buy 3 bottles of the same spirit. Keep in mind that this was before I could drive around my city and find multi-hundreds of bottle choices that we have today. I don't return to it as often as I should, but was both sad and happy when I you mentioned the 'no more' status as I have one uncorked bottle still. My number one Jameson is Black. It is good enough that I will always have a bottle, and usually buy several a year. It stands on its own in a glass like few can and makes the best cocktail, as it still stands taller than all its co conspirators in the drink, it shines and makes them shine. Fav "Irish Old" or "Coffee cube Irish Old". I have been lucky to try and or own all those bottles in your lineup. The cask strength I bottled in the distillery is a top 5 today out of many hundreds. For my 50th we did tours of 27 distilleries around the regions and the Cork tour was the best for cool learning, and 2nd in food. (Ardbeg was first for food). Love your team and channel. Thanks for being a positive proponent for our passion in all things spirits.

[@bmac9936]

You needed the Jameson Orange in there. It is truly orange…. Bitter Orange. Their Black Barrel is my standard.

[@paddygallagher5006]

Loved this video. I just love Jameson. Crested is my favourite. They have a new pot still here in Ireland that is part of their core range. It is amazing

[@NothingXemnas]

13:20 that pretty much summarizes the channel's motto. So long you like what you are drinking, there are no rules.

[@allengaible6436]

Excellent episode. I used to get the classic Jameson quite often and have it on the rocks. Haven't explored many of their other options besides the stout which I wasn't a huge fan of.

[@andrewbutler7681]

Well, I'm pleased to see my favourite - Cooper's Croze - was liked by all. I haven't tried the Black Barrel, so that is now on my 'to do' list. I did try the Gold Reserve before it was discontinued... but I honestly can't remember anything about it, so it can't have made much of an impression!

[@christiaanlommen8522]

Try this with the laphroaig line up

[@michaelmueller40]

Black barrel was the first Irish whiskey that I found the shortbread cookie note in. Granted it was also like only my third bottle of Irish but I like it a lot

[@ajmcgarry]

I used to have gold reserve. Always thought it was similar in ways to Middleton very rare. Or at least the years that I had them to compare

[@Finis08]

My local museum that calls itself a liquor store actually had a bottle of Jameson Gold Reserve in there case when I went by there a few weeks ago. I think they were asking like $1,000 for it. I will have to go by and see if it is there still even though I would not be buying it.

What I love about your videos is your overall love of a wide variety of whiskies! I also enjoy all kinds of different whiskies - been drinking them since my prep school days in Scotland. I also love sampling different tequilas, mezcales, sotoles, rums and to a lesser extent, brandies.

[@robweaver566]

These are fantastic guys thank you. There are so many releases by distilleries so it's interesting to hear your thoughts on them all.

[@007hwm3]

You guys need to take Breanna to Ireland and Scotland and do a tour of blind tastings across the distilleries! It would make a great few episodes 🤘🏻

Should have thrown in the Distillery Edition - probably the best juice they make.

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

I had Jameson for the first time in decades back in May. Jameson was my best friend's favorite whiskey back in gradschool I the early 90s. I was not a fan. My mom, now in her late 70s, buy Jameson by the handle. So, anyway, turns out I was surprised at how much I liked it.

[@magickmarck]

I drank it in shots in college and loathed it, aside from its effects. Seemed to get one drunker than other alcohols. Have yet to revisit it since I learned to sip and enjoy whiskey. Maybe soon.

I'm still mad they discontinued the Jameson Gold Reserve. It was easily the best, and at the time it was discontinued ~5 years ago, it was only like $80, which seems like a steal today.

[@ssracer02]

Fortunately I do have a bottle of that Gold Reserve and I love it. Very sad that it’s the last one I will have.

Love Jameson. The 18 cask strength is fantastic. Wish they would bring back the Gold. It is expensive at auctions but was not when is was a core release.

GAH! I had to add Jameson Gold to my vault list JUST when I get back from TX 🥲 A sincere thank you to Rex for taking on Betterhelp as a sponsor. I once used alcohol to cope with my mental illness through my 20's and 30's. I consider myself lucky that I didn't get myself killed during those days. I found whiskey, learned to appreciate it, and stopped using alcohol as a crutch. I finally found medication that helps me manage my mental illness, so I use my past challenging experiences to encourage people to seek help. 🖖😎🥃

So, the $600 bottle you can’t buy is the best. Good. To. Know.

I like Jameson, but I have to admit, Bushmills is my go to

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

I have had only two styles of Jameson. The first was the plain Jane Jameson, which I bought when I was fairly new to whiskey. Even then, I kind of shrugged it off. A little while back, I decided to give the brand another try, but with a different version. I randomly picked the Black Barrel. That might have subconsciously been influenced by my liking Mount Gay Black Barrel rum, but I can't say for sure. After tasting the Jameson Black Barrel, I quickly decided that it was a whiskey I would buy again. It is far superior to the regular version. Now I will have to give the Gold Reserve a try, and maybe the Cooper's Croze as well. Edit: Well, shit! I just saw what the Gold Reserve costs. I'm going to need a good lottery ticket first.

[@terryhughes3623]

18yr private reserve is my favorite.

[@censusgary]

The big surprise here is that the IPA edition beat the stout editon. Considering how good most stout tastes, and how bad most IPA tastes, I didn’t see that coming. Also, the panel described the IPA Jameson’s as tasting “metallic” and like a piece of paper in the mouth. Well, there’s no accounting for taste, when all’s said and done.

[@magickmarck]

Well keep in mind they're probably using a euro IPA not the American sort

So the question is, what did they do with the whiskey they used to make the Jimmy Gold from? Is it now the Crested, Croze, Stout, and IPA? Or is it over in the Midleton brand? They also brew Powers, Paddy, Method & Madness, and Redbreast, but would they dare put it in those? Or are they saving it up for Jimmy 21, 24, 30, 40, and so on?

The 18 yr cask strength and Black Barrel cask let you know that Irish whiskey is actually really REALLY good - they just water it down too much for the majority of everything they sell. And "regular Jameson" is what 16 yr old high schoolers drink - pure trash. Try the Redbreast (yes I know, same distillery) ones next time; the 21 is probably a top 10 of all Whiskey's for me.
