Really impressed with the Jameson Crested, beats the standard for not much more. For value for money, this slaps! Cheers.
Definitely does. It’s much more Sherry cask and that’s really where IDL shines.
@@4LeafWhiskey completely agree! I am going to have to crack a new bottle of it now! Cheers.
haha thanks, I am all about not being taken seriously. You won't like my channel then... cheers @ccuellar6212 🥃
Crested price-wise is about a halfway between the standard bottle and Redbreast, so about €40 or maybe €45. That said you can often get it on sale for around €30.
25€ at Amazon in Germany.
The "commercial" you're talking about is powerthirst, and they were eventually hired to do the actual commercials for the Brawndo energy drink that briefly existed
Hello to all you MBs!
Gm gents
Guys, I’m in Ireland right now. It’s 28 euros at the duty free and 45 everywhere else. Also definitely NOT available in the U.S. It’s fantastic
Yep. Had it in Galway then picked up a bottle for €28 at the Duty Free waiting for our flight.
Just got back from Ireland it was 45 euro at store and on sell for 24 euro at duty free.
I bought a bottle while I was in Ireland... really wish I knew I could get it cheaper at the duty free. As I was heading back to the states I saw it at the duty free and was mad I bought it too soon.
SOOOOO looking forward to the weekend you MB's!!
Ahh, good old Powerthirst reference. I love it.
Wait till you guys in Texas try Jameson 100% pot still, 5 cask finish whiskey!! Could be Rex’s Redbreast match if not beater!!!!
I prefer Crested myself. Jameson Single Pot Still doesn’t have as much Sherry Cask in the finish. But both are very good bottles from Jameson! Great choice!
GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S... 🥃
I love how you guys add a T to Jameson (-ston) where in NJ we sometimes add an “R” : Jame”r”son.
Thanks for the video 🥃
Yeeeees! Please try the Jameson Black Barrel as well, one of my favorite bang-for-your-buck whiskeys (around €30 in the Netherlands)
Daniel is thinking of the 'Powerthirst' videos, first two are the best.
Obtainable whisky reviews with the odd big brand expensive bottle sounds like a good model for this channel moving forward.
Even if you’re willing to pay $200+ per bottle, it’s not something that you can just pick up at a Total Wine. What Crested lacks in base value, it makes up for in scarcity (in the US). Jameson Crested is sold everywhere in Ireland, but it is not distributed to the US unless you’re willing to pay twice the base price for international shipping (which I do…in bulk). It’s $40-50/bottle in Ireland, but the shipping is at least $75 if you’re in the states. For this reason, Crested is essentially a premium whiskey to anyone in my neck of the woods. Definitely the best one in Jameson lineup. Smells great too (takes me right back to Dublin).
I paid a little over 30 Euros for this in Ireland and about $85 shipped to the States from England including shipping.
Daniel is definitely thinking of the Powerthirst video 😂
Recently discovered the Jameson Cold Brew. Really like the Malty Caramel flavor
Majority of my bottle went into Irish coffees but it’s amazing on its own
I always bring a bottle or 2 of it back when I visit Ireland, it goes for around 40€ there. As far as I know it’s not available in the states unfortunately. It’s a really good bottle especially at its price. One that even non whiskey people can enjoy and appreciate.
Fell in love with JJ&S Crested in Ireland, been kicking myself ever since for not grabbing a couple of bottles to bring back to the US.
I know there are whiskey channels that will do flights and compare all major releases from a distillery. I think it would be a neat concept with the vault so instead of one comparison, you get several. Thought of this because I would have loved to see you compare the Crested with Black Barrel rather than the entry level Jameson.
They used to sell this in Canada. It was I think 10 bucks more over the regular Jamison. But its been a few years since we have had the crested. Had to stock up before it went MIA. The crested is my wife's favorite.
I've recently bought this bottle in Poland for an equivalent of about 20 dollars. As for the bang for buck ratio it's up there with Bushmills Black Bush, really good stuff.
Can a whiskey aficionado please recommend whiskies with the following notes? - Toffee, caramel, chocolate. Something in this ballpark would be nice. Preferably in the toffee/caramel side more than chocolate. I want to try a whiskey, but the range seems to be so big, and the offerings so plenty, I feel like I could spend $5,000 trying to hunt down what I'm looking for.
Notes being subjective makes this kinda tricky. I will say, I don't think dropping $5K is necessary unless you want a really high (20+) age statement. As far as a general direction goes based off of what you said, look toward highland/speyside scotch aged in bourbon and sherry cask.
You might enjoy something with a Stout Cask Finish. Those typically have a lot of chocolate notes.
@@lolzguyl Haha! I meant spend $5,000 buying bottle after bottle trying to find what I'm looking for. This was more of a joke about how many different whiskies there are. I didn't mean spend $5,000 on a single bottle. The first whiskey I ever drank was Lagavulin 16. I was 25 years old and I wouldn't say I loved it, but I from time to time have a taste for it around winter time. So it definitely stuck with me. The second whiskey I drank was just original Jack Daniels, and believe it or not, I tend to have a taste for Jack Daniels more than any other type of liquor. There's something about the distinct taste and smell of Jack Daniels that's unique and almost addictive. Even though I know it's a cheap whisky. I can tolerate vanilla, which is why I was thinking about maybe trying an Irish. Everybody who tries Readbreast 12 says they like it, so I might try that.
Feels like just yesterday that you stopped taking donations. How time flies when your drinking. 😂
Its usually £27 a bottle for me in N.Ireland. great bang for the buck whisky
Picked up a bottle of this at the Jameson Distillery in Dublin! :) They described it as an 'original Irish whiskey' recipe and I found it definitely preferable over Jameson.
Didn't know it was available stateside yet...Time to go looking for a replacement (backup) bottle. Slainte!
It’s not available in the US but it’s in Canada
Well then, I'm glad I picked up a bottle in Dublin!
@@4LeafWhiskey
Jameson Crested is one of my favourite whiskeys. In the UK it is usually £33, when on sale it is £27, comapared to the original Jameson being £25. No brainer. It does not compete with Redbreast as that is £46.
I was at Jameson last week! Took the tour and sampled Crested, standard, and Black Barrel in the tasting room. Crested was by far my favorite. Black Barrel was a bit too sweet. They confirmed that Crested was not available in the US as the more bourbon leaning profiles sell better. Brought a bottle of Crested home!
Showed up as a limited time product at my local liquor shop about 6 years ago . It is what you hope regular Jameson would be.
Hello ! Here in france, in my local market it costs 26 € 😁 thanks for the review, cheers !
Jameson Crested is €40 here in Ireland its a beautiful bargain
In Dublin Ireland you can buy the Crested for between €25/€35 sometimes just sometimes it sells for €40 love the Crested
You can get this for 25€ in Super Valu, Ireland (regular grocery store) where Jameson is rarely ever less than 20€
I got it on special today for €25 but standard it goes for €38-€40(in ireland) jameson is €27-30 and redbreast is €60... so right in the middle. I love it at this price range.
I import a lot of this from the UK and pay about $40.00 US with free shipping. This is not available in the US but is the best product Jameson makes for the price. I purchase this at Hard to Find Whiskey in the UK which has free shipping if you spend 500 pounds. I normally purchase 20 + bottles at a time beacuse all of my friends are hooked on this. When I traveled to France I was able to buy this for 21 euros at Carr Four.
Cheers....
@8:38 YES!! Loved that video.. MENERGY!!!!
i had old bottles it. Was class
This was the first bottle of whiskey I ever purchased and brought it home from my honeymoon in Ireland! Still have the empty bottle!!
But the wife has gone?
@ELLISRUGER8 thanks for opening an old wound
Brilliant value for the price range
Yes sir
I love this, £30 here in UK
Just came back from Ireland. From my understanding Crested is only available in Ireland. It is also maybe $45 if you buy it in thw store. If you buy it in the duty free shop and are going back to the US (like me) I picked it up for $30.
On Amazon in the UK it's £28/$34, might have to get a bottle
Good afternoon from Greece 🥃🥃
*Daniel mentions "Powerthirst" video to Rex*
Me: "I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago."
There is or was a Jameson exclusive to the liquor shops in the Minneapolis airport. We grabbed a bottle on our way to Iceland. We drank most of it but couldn’t bring it back with us.
Here normal Jamesons is like 53-67, the crested is harder to find, but available for 89-240. Both 700ml
I did get my bottle from Europe. It cost me about $40, this is what Jameson should be(entry level) a lot more character. A lot more flavors and no metallic essence. And then I start thinking is it better than a Jameson black barrel? Cost me about the same I wish I could save a little bit so I can compare. Did anyone try side by side? Thank you guys for the incredible review again.
Better than the black barrel in my opinion. If you prefer the green apple, shortbread and spicy pot still notes then definitely the Crested. The black barrel is a bit muted for me, just sweet and nothing much more.
@@160pipa for a price and trouble getting it. I definitely prefer black barrel no doubt, but it is good and I wish it was standard Jameson. Or basically hopeful wishful thinking they might replace standard with this.
I get my Jameson Crested from the Dublin aiport whenever I go. (Flight attendant) I'm pretty sure I paid €25 for each bottle. It's one of my favorite whiskeys and I really don't care for original Jameson.
It was called Crested 10, not Crested 12. It’s widely available in Ireland and in a few countries like Canada. It’s available in a lot of travel shops as well as online Irish retailers. Lots more Sherry finish, I think the Pot Still to Grain is 80/20, but I might be thinking Sherry to Bourbon. Outstanding bottle for less than $40!
Over here in the UK, Crested is just a few quid more than regular Jamesons
You should reserve the option to buy multiple bottles if someone is donating a very large amount of money.
I'm just 2 minutes in, but when Daniel said they would compare it to the regular Jameson, I was shocked, really shocked, that Rex didn't say, "No, I want to compare it to Redbreast 12."
Daniel with the 15 year old PowerThirst reference
Highwest has some ryes that fetch a few hundred bucks. Metal band GWAR has a rye that’s a hundred a bottle.
Initial search: I’m finding the $50 range is excluding shipping & import fees (to the US).
Cost you about €40-50 to ship a bottle from Ireland
The "energy drink" you are thinking of is Powerthirst.
Lol throwback to the Powerthirst commercials
Lads powers johns lane cask strength just realised today, cant wait
Just ordered two bottles.
@Stephen_Curtin very nice, unfortunately ill have to wait until Friday for payday 😫
Ordered mine this morning!
You can get the bottle your reviewing in Dublin for €42. Red Brest 12 is €65.
I just paid £24 including delivery from Amazon in the UK. It's great vfm but this just isn't $100 whiskey around here as we can get outstanding single malts for that money.
The question is how does it compare to the stout edition (best Jameson out there!)?
I haven't heard a power thirst reference in a while.
Not a chance you found it at total wine. I brought mine back from Ireland and ever since I can’t find it. So back to Dublin for me.
In Germany, Jameson Crested is 25€, so you might have been wrong with the US price :D And its an insanely good whisky for the price.
He's not wrong. I searched and in the US, I could only find it for $64. Thanks to our politician's slapping import taxes on whisky, it costs us a lot more than it does y'all.
It’s €35 ish in Ireland
I love Crested. Too bad my Shelf of Fame isn't wider or it would have had a spot on there. I had to Jerry Rig a spot for Highland Park Valfather next to Dragon Legend because I could not let that one go unpraised.
And about € 30 here in the NL.
Which is better black one or this one ?
Still don’t think you can get this in the US. Picked one up for somewhere around $30 in Dublin
Very affordable in the Netherlands. 29 euro/U$
Just bought a bottle in my local supermarket for 25 Euro
BRONDO GIVES YOU ENERGY LEGS!
I don;t think they sell this in the states, I get it at the airport. Its not expensive at all.
I’ve never seen the crested on the shelves in NJ.
I’m not 100% sure it’s available in the US outside of online
£5 more than regular jameson in the UK on the website starting with A
Power Thirst is like Crystal Meth in a can! 8:34
Not sure where you got those prices from. Crested is €35-€45 in Ireland.
Crested hasn't made its way to NC yet.
4:59 where did the show(INK) go?
Could have padded out the review a little bit further by taking regular Jameson and seeing how much Red Breast would need to be added to it to compete with the crested
How has you guys’ tasting experience changed, now that you’ve gone back to grabbing a comparison whiskey for most of the reviews?
£27.89 pounds or 33.84 freedom bucks for the 70cl bottle in the uk
Since when is this available state side? I bought a bottle when I went to Ireland for my 10 year wedding anniversary I sadly found out after I drank the entire bottle it was Ireland only release? I have a bottle to hunt!
You gave me a heart attack when you said $100+!!! Sell it in my off licence in London for £32
I buy it on sale in Dublin when its on sale for €25/30
Howaya! So here in Ireland this really won't break the bank, dunno what the craic is stateside. It falls somewhere between Standard Jamie and Jameson black barrel, which I can't help but notice you still haven't reviewed you wee scamps (spoiler alert: it is rad)
I haven’t seen Crested in the states but it might be out West. They have it in Canada too. It’s a banger for €35!
Crested 10 not 12...
Hence the X on the label 😊
To my knowledge this still isn't available in the states? Correct?
A superb daily drinker for not much money!
For large donations to a category, buy 3 bottles at 3 price points and compare.
crowded barrel 43 for 43 days in the barrel?
Jameson always had a Irish spring soap nose for me. And crested sounds like a almond biscotti
I've found it for under 40 euros in Portugal
The label looks suspiciously like the label on the Distillery Edition. I wonder if it's the same stuff.
It’s not the same. I have both, they taste a bit different. I don’t think the Distillery bottle has as much Sherry.
i was in ireland and the bottle was green
Jamson crested is 25 euro near me
“It’s a bit nutty.” - with a Gaelic accent
In Germany it's between €23 and 27. Hah! :)
30€ in Portugal
Why not take the large donation and get a premium and a budget. Compare the two and see review the two together . Is the price worth it.
Jameson crested or black barrel? Which one to go?
Personally prefer Black Barrel, but I only had Crested once. The black barrel has a more full flavor and is more caramelly, the crested has more sweetness and fruit
I prefer Crested but they are totally different. Black Barrel has more vanilla and brown sugar notes. You’ll get more almond and baking spice and cookies with Crested.
