    As my palette has become more sophisticated I find myself buying more Jameson than all others combined. Straight, on the rocks, or with 7Up depending n my mood. It’s a good clean whiskey and I love the butter cookie finish. I still enjoy a good scotch every once in a while, but then I find myself wanting a peaty scotch.

Quality was another reason, the Irish distilleries would often export in bulk to local bottlers who would dilute etc while the Scots would only export already bottled product and quickly gained a reputation for quality.

      They are worlds different, both in flavor and how they're made.
      I'll probably make one of these videos on Tennessee Whiskey in a few weeks. Perhaps that will help 😀

    Pot Still whiskey is not unique to Ireland and doesn't have to be triple distilled. The term 'married' isn't defined in the production of Irish whiskey.

      I just rewatched this. I can't believe i said that Pot Stills are unique to Irish Whiskey... this video is a year old but I absolutely knew better... I wonder what I was trying to convey... maybe that they originated in Ireland.
      I did say that it's "typically" triple distilled.
      Thanks for the corrections, I'm a little embarassed I didn't word that better, especially since this video has been doing great lately.

    "grain whiskey" is just alcohol, like they use in gasoline, and has no flavor. Far cheaper than pot still, malted-barley whiskey. And the reason Jameson is so mild flavored Now if you want a very decent Irish whiskey that does not cost $40 a bottle, I would reccomend Bushmill's Black (if they still make it) Supposedly 85% pot still whiskey, and much more flavorful than Jameson. More flavorful than Powers, I'd say, and much smoother than plain Bushmill's.

    • @ranica47
      @ranica47 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is well nice, far superior to the regular Bushmills which I find very harsh, like a Scotch.

      I think that's interesting. There are definitely less aggressive Irish Whiskies, but an overoaked bourbon can easily be more aggressive than Jameson. What bourbons do you enjoy?

    I have been avoiding Jameson for many years. I typically do not enjoy what the "masses" go for. Today I picked up a 200ml bottle to give it a try. WHAT GARBAGE! I have had Vodkas with more flavor than Jameson. My wife and 20yo daughter were likewise exceedingly underwhelmed by this. Why do people drink this? I would take Red Label over this.

    • @57hound
      @57hound 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes! Regular Jameson is rotgut. The only thing it has going for it is a massive marketing campaign. A truly excellent entry level Irish whiskey is Redbreast 12. If you like that and want to step up a level, you can’t go wrong with Yellow Spot.

      No potato juice for me, ever. Vodka makes my stomach hurt and get a headache. Not even drunk or even buzzed and it does this. Also, Jim Beam or Old Bushmill's make my gag reflex kick in just to smell of them. I've drunk much "rot gut whiskey" in my youth but never these 3. Doctor told me to never eat or drink anything that your body rebels against 'cause there's something in it that is poison for your particular DNA makeup. P.S. I loved Jameson 40+years ago, but haven't tried it recently. Many brands get popular then the makers start cutting corners to maximize profits. A sad, but common thing.
