I was once part owner/employee of a Blues bar in Galveston, Texas back in 2001. There was plenty of Blues music, locals, and members of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club. My favorite time was after closing when I was cleaning up. I would pour me a glass of Jameson and play Frank Sinatra's "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning". It was so peaceful and quiet. Just me, Jameson, Frank Sinatra, the waves of the Gulf of Mexico crashing on the the shoreline, and my thoughts meandering in a serendipity of early morning loneliness.
I'm not an avid whiskey drinker myself, but I gotta say that out of the few that I've tried, Jameson has been the best one so far, very smooth and mild as you said, very good in cocktails. just had an AMAZING whiskey sour with Jameson whiskey. Nice review!
Hi John! I'm a Polish man, In Ireland from 2005 and from this time me and couple of my friends we are trying to taste Irish and Scottish whisky! You are doing great job in here 👍 We are looking forward for your next video! Regards from Galway:)
its smooth and buttery. First time drinking it and I am very impressed. It is cheap and commonly available. I am new to whisky but this is the first one I really liked. Vanilla, butter and that's about it. It isn't complex but a fine choice.
I cant resist a channel about Whisky. I watched your video on the band saw box and enjoyed it. Just thinking about trying my first one. I am just finishing up my very small, pretty complete and efficient wood shop at my Nebraska Camp. I call it my camp as when i retired from the fire service I sold everything and became trailer trash (full time RV) and this is where I keep my trailer. I'm here for my obsession which is upland bird hunting. I love that you have your Whisky channel in your wood shop. I usually sip a little whisky in my shop at the end of the day. Looking forward to watching several more whisky videos.
Jameson was probably the first decent whiskey I recall enjoying many years ago. I've long since moved on and expanded my taste but I always keep a bottle of Jameson on the shelf. Its not top shelf Irish by any means but it's a nice easy drinker to have on hand. One thing though, $20 a bottle US is long gone, it's around $30 now.
You can't go wrong with a good old bottle of Jameson for an every day dram. Inexpensive, smooth, more than good enough to drink neat/on the rocks and great tasting for the price. For an affordable every day whisk(e)y that can be sipped, my go to is either Jameson or Johnnie Black. However, recently I found Bushmills 10 year single malt on offer at £25, so I thought I'd see what all the fuss is about... honestly... give me a dram of Jameson anyday; it's just so smooth and easy to drink. The best tasting whisk(e)y's are those that taste best to you, and although it's slighly off subject I'd take a bottle of Johnnie Green or Gold over a most single malt scotch of a similar price any day. Again, The best tasting whisk(e)y's are those that taste best to you. Thanks for your review; I really enjoyed watching.
One of my favorites when I drink Irish, but I have to say I’m more partial to Redbrest or Knappogue. With that said, they are substantially more expensive.
Hey John, I am from Cape Town SA.....this is my favorite whiskey! Just love it.....and of course what would life be without a Guinness! Enjoying both channels!!!
totally agree with you, it's a good budget whiskey, tho I'm more of Powers fan myself (and redbreast of course but that's not even comparable, usually I only have that when celebrating something), gold label is my usual house whiskey, tho I usually grab a bottle of Jameson if I've run out and don't want to wait the 8 days for systembolaget (the government-owned off-licence) to get it in from Ireland!
Never took another thought when someone asks me if I'd want a drink or a shot of Jameson.. I keep a half gallon on me at all times. I've dived into the green spots and powers, also the redbreast which I fell in love with. I keep Jameson on hand at all times and it's always been my first go too.. Nothing like what you like. Great review btw, for a great whiskey 👍🏻😉
John lovely drop of whiskey. Bit like you used to finish the night off with a nice whiskey and most pubs I used to drinking used to have Jamesons there. With other whiskeys to. But also used to have a whiskey chaser with most points are used to drink as well on some nights. I think that’s because I’m got Scottish blood in me my grandad was Scottish. So carried on the tradition a wee dram
After watching your reviews I’ve finally subscribed. I like your way, the Irish accent and the toast. Keep up the good work. Oh, and based on your review, I picked up a bottle of Slane. Nice, but the jury is still out.
Good video!! You should write the history book of Irish whiskey!! If you'll need a name for the book I'll help. Looking forward to the next whiskey notes and your woodworking projects
Another great video. Keep it up! On a side note, I haven't tried it yet, but I found where I can get Redbreast 12 here in Colorado. Looking forward to trying it. Probably not that hard to find since it has a 96 score, and was rated the best Irish whiskey in the world. $52 a bottle, so very reasonable. Probably have to pick some up to celebrate the end of the dark ages here in the US. Sorry, to any fellow yanks I may have offended.
Great video and history lesson John...I always drink a bottle or three of Jameson when I am on a P&O Cruise (they always seem to sell it at a reasonable price) Cheers
Well put together John... Jameson, everyone's had it at some stage, like you said, it depends how and how much😉.I must say though that I prefer kilbeggan as my budget whisky, but without Jameson we probably wouldn't have kilbeggan back in the stores.
great channel, I can immediately see that your reaction is about the whiskey itself and not the views. Have you ever tried Canadian Club? Is it comparable to Irish Whiskey? "Zum Wohle!" from Germany.
Hi John loving your whiskey channel when I got married my Uncle Jack Dunne called me to the bar and said I’ve got 16 double Jameson’s line up here and your not leaving till we have drunk them we did and I have always deserted that moment by the way he loved his Jameson’s 🤪🤪🤪

A Jameson and Solemn thoughts of contemplation. Sounds nice.
Very cool and poetic story...Did the late and enigmatic Texan John Dawson Winter III ever play in your club?

Respect for the irish people. You have a great product.

Hope all is well in Cape Town! glad you are enjoying the channels
a drop of Jameson when you can't fit anymore pints in you, sounds about right lol

Thanks very much glad you enjoyed it! Can't go wrong with a bottle of Jameson on the shelf!
Im new to whisky and from what i tried in the budget sector this is my favorite so far.

Love the history. Keep up the content.

Enjoy the Redbreast!
Great video and history lesson John...I always drink a bottle or three of Jameson when I am on a P&O Cruise (they always seem to sell it at a reasonable price) Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it Paul
Have you reviewed 'Limavady' irish whiskey?
I love a smooth Scotch, so I’m hoping I’ll like Jameson’s. Have a bottle on the way.
Jameson is ok, its an mass produced Irish whiskey it won't blow your mind but its not bad. If you want a really nice Irish whiskey get Redbreast 12.
Well put together John... Jameson, everyone's had it at some stage, like you said, it depends how and how much😉.I must say though that I prefer kilbeggan as my budget whisky, but without Jameson we probably wouldn't have kilbeggan back in the stores.
Have you tried Powers gold label ? Nicer than Kilbeggan imo and roughly the same price
Well done John, :) !!!
Check out Writers Tears. One of the best Irish whiskeys I've tried
Its on my list Colin
great channel, I can immediately see that your reaction is about the whiskey itself and not the views. Have you ever tried Canadian Club? Is it comparable to Irish Whiskey? "Zum Wohle!" from Germany.
Glad you like it! I have not tried Canadian club yet I will keep it in mind and let you know.
Hi John loving your whiskey channel when I got married my Uncle Jack Dunne called me to the bar and said I’ve got 16 double Jameson’s line up here and your not leaving till we have drunk them we did and I have always deserted that moment by the way he loved his Jameson’s 🤪🤪🤪
😂🤣👍
Scrub deserted and say loved senior moment it was 40 years ago 🤩🤩
We Have The Liquor Control Board Of Ontario. {L.C.B.O.} Who Sells This Brand Within The Province Of Canada. -NorthWest,ON,Canada.
Vodka is for those that like little flavour to compensate for jameson and cheaper with your pop.
I've tried it twice. Hated it. Prefer Powers and Redbreast.
I live in north Alabama not very far from the Jack Danials distillery. JAMESON is the far superior whiskey.
for the price is a decent whiskey
All that buildup just to end up downvoting Jameson......
