So I’m still at an expo to show the fun of Ireland. I had oysters from their Michelin chef, a whiskey gelato, and then cleared my palate after having an Irish wrap. I made sure to not having anything too strong before reviewing my next one. In continuing the random theme, the next whiskey is?Jameson Caskmates Beau’s Edition. Let me explain as you scratch your… Continue reading Jameson Caskmates Beau’s Edition
Thanks to @scotchguy.to for sharing a dram of this with me. This past year (2018) I had lots and lots of plans. Finish my accounting schooling, find a new job in a new career space, keep track of what I’m doing and don’t get review series mixed up, and review enough Irish Whiskey to finally hit 100 total reviews. Wait a second… I had this during a… Continue reading Jameson Black Barrel Cask Strength
This past year (2018) I had lots and lots of plans. Finish my accounting schooling, find a new job in a new career space, figure out where baby racoons come from, and review enough Irish Whiskey to finally hit 100 total reviews. I’m happy to say I got most of that done, and I now have my rabies vaccine! As for posting them, I may… Continue reading Jameson Crested Ten
Thanks to /u/Orehnmadgib for pouring me this dram. This past year (2018) I had lots and lots of plans. Finish my accounting schooling, find a new job in a new career space, learn how to spell backwards in Korean, and review enough Irish Whiskey to finally hit 100 total reviews. I’m happy to say I got most of that done, and my language specific dyslexia is increasing… Continue reading Jameson Caskmates IPA
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to meet with Ger Buckley, fourth generation Head Cooper at Jameson Distillery, and Steve Beauchesne of Beau’s Brewery and ask questions about their respective companies, roles and upcoming collaboration. Jameson shots are virtually synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day in North America, along with green beer and other things the Irish likely find abominable about our celebration of their holiday! … Continue reading Perfect St. Patrick’s Day Pairing – Jameson Caskmates and Beau’s Strong Patrick
As part of the Toronto Whisky Society end of year celebration, we ended up with a few whiskies to share. 2017 was a great year for us. Thus I don’t actually remember who brought this or the last or next review, but thank you! And feel free to add a username for me to thank below! Jameson brought out The Whiskey Maker series a this past year.… Continue reading Jameson Cooper’s Croze
Traveling as a whiskey fan can be quite daunting picking where you should go. You want to find those hidden gems, those amazing places that have Glencairns and great selection and good prices and maybe something interesting. Time is a commodity you don’t want to waste. Dublin. A city split in two, with two cultures on either side of the river. Tourist traps, great times, … Continue reading 7 must stops in Dublin for whiskey (Number 3 is a number!)
So I’m talking to a guy at a bar. Doesn’t matter where or when, stay with me here. Well, yeah, I was in Dublin. I guess that counts. So I’m talking to this guy at a bar in Dublin, and he mentions how he misses being able to purchase Jameson 12 Special Reserve now, as it’s not a limited edition, and thus the price has… Continue reading Jameson 12 Special Reserve
So I’m at Jameson. Not the actual distillery, the old distillery, in Dublin. We unfortunately did not have the time to visit the proper distillery. Next time I’m in Ireland. However this time I took the tour. That’s a different write up for a different day. At the end, I discovered there were two “location” exclusives that you could buy: One was Jameson Black Barrel… Continue reading Jameson Distillery Edition
It’s that time of year again. St. Patrick’s Day is upon us and from now through the weekend people will be donning green attire, chugging green beer and chasing leprechauns, or something like that. As enjoyable as that is allow me to suggest one change in these annual festivities: ditch the green beer and have a glass or two of an Irish whiskey instead. If you find yourself wondering which of … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society – St. Patrick’s Day Reviews
Thanks to /u/Tsefly for the sample. Beer, for me, is usually better when someone has put it through a still a few times and then thrown it in a cask for at least 6 years. Depending on the country. That said, over the years being a whiskey drinker has lead me to find out that bars carry a selection I’m not a fan of at a… Continue reading Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition
I’m going to be quite obtuse during this review and the next one. The reason for that I can’t go into. Let’s just say: Always have some extra cash put aside in case of emergencies on a trip. So: What makes Jameson Gold Reserve so special? We use gold to denote the better things in life. It draws people in, gives us an idea about… Continue reading Jameson Gold Reserve
