My son turned 21 last month and I got him a bottle of this for his birthday. Xmas day we cracked it open. Let me tell you something, this stuff will get you in trouble. It isn't the most flavorful whiskey but it is so smooth and easy to drink you could find yourself putting down an entire bottle in 1 sitting. I have never tasted a whiskey with absolutely ZERO burn.

So thank you to you magnificent bastards for complicating my life. Through the quarantine I started branching out on UA-cam and found your channels. Now that I have binged a significant number of episodes I have learned how to properly try whiskey. Now I find myself enjoying things that were not on my radar before (Islay scotch) and having friends cuss me out for getting them sucked into the vortex as well. Keep up the fine work gents.
I got myself a bottle of Lagavulin 16 for my birthday, since it’s not cheap or easy to find around here. First time having an Islay. Turns out I’m not entirely into smoke and brine. (Maybe someday) BUT I’m not disappointed. I love exploring and now I know that I don’t dislike any whiskeys, and most importantly what kind I like better; Thanks to you.
I finally figured out why I love listening to you guys describe the nose/taste notes. I am a Marine tank mechanic (2007-2011) and the way you guys take a whisk(e)y from, "it's whisk(e)y" all the way down to individual flavors/smells/experiences reminds me of trouble shooting as a mechanic, we go from "it's broken" to an exact solution.
I saw this in store and wanted to see a review before I bought it. It’s €€83 here and got it with a discount for €75 which seems a fair price now. Thanks again for the review :).
Wow! how many bottles of whiskey are on your walls? 1000 bottles of whiskey on the wall, if one of those bottles should happen to fall, 999 bottles left on the wall (lol) Thanks a crazy amount of bottles of whiskey etc.. this man knows whiskey, great and fun review. Cheers! and bottoms up, from, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The amount of time since Emma switched the bottles till when Daniel noticed..... Priceless! I wonder if they know how much enjoyment we get out of this game? lol
I bought a bottle of this a year ago and it’s still sealed and with my parents who are in South Africa and I’m in New Zealand. Waiting for them to come visit and to bring it with. I have to say that I prefer the older “green” Jameson bottles. I paid about NZ$100 less in South Africa for this bottle compared to what it costs here in New Zealand, and the bottle is 50ml bigger in SA. I actually paid the equivalent of US$105 (ZAR1600) for my 750ml bottle of Jameson 18 in South Africa, and I saw it as low as US$85 there after I purchased mine.
I know it's not bourbon but I get a ton of Oakiness when I add a few drops of water in green spot. It takes away some of the other sweet and Irish notes and promotes the wood side. Noticed this when exploring it and was enjoying a flight with Green Spot, Yellow Spot and Redbreast.
I kept thinking Dan was saying “linen” when he was saying “lemon” and I was soooo confused, especially when he said citrus. Thanks Rex for pronouncing it the right way
For a while I was using Henry McKennan Bottled in Bond to show people what wood notes are. I think it shows oak fairly well and is also fairly oily, so it carries a lot through the palate.
Back about a million years ago when I was a young musician, a band director once described notes as either tulips or daisies. That is exactly what the shape thing reminded me of.
Sorry guys, that was either a typo or my ever present nemesis autocorrect. Mukhwas is spelt AND pronounced with an m. Though I did enjoy how much frustration that misspelling caused Rex.
2:45 the signature distillates they are referring to is the different types of grain or pot distillates Midleton produce, they don't make any of their own Malt Whiskey in midleton (jameson is only pot & grain) also the jameson 18 comes in a cask strength, have not tried it myself yet, but all I have heard say its well better!!!!
Love the latest Jameson review video. I’d love to get your take on the Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition. Personally I’m loving it! Hoping you’ll do a video on it soon!
Yes! Some Jameson love.......said the Jamison guy hahaha I have this bottle, it’s definitely wonderful but you are paying for the name with the price no doubt.
Also, talking about oak barrels: I know it wouldn't be "whisky", but what if you aged your spirits in Apple barrels? What do you think the impact would be?
I feel vindicated!! Got this whiskey as a Christmas gift and I loved it. It was a bit harsh for my dad who gave it to me. But, now, everything he is at the house he mooches a little lol so there's that lol
I enjoyed 18 YO Jame-O but agree that the price is too much. I am interested in Bow Street though, which is 18 YO, Cask Strength, and finished in virgin Irish Oak at their Dublin storehouse. Has anyone tried it yet?
the game of whats missing continues...love it....and just googled jameson web and they want $300 cad for this....oh my....if i spend that much, i would up a little to their 18 bow street cask strength at $372 cad..cheers
seeing references to the Kiki and Bouba concept in the world of whiskey is something i'm pleasantly surprised to see. great explanation for that whole discussion! also i want a gif of daniel just waving his arms around during that bit. or a 10 hour looped video of it. or both.
What do you guys think of adding "texture" to tasting notes. This would move things like Shiny, smooth, oily etcetera to their own classification category.
Anyone try the Trader Joes 19 year Highland Single Malt?? Also, do we have any reason not to believe the age of these spirits? Is there a way to know for sure, or we cannot tell if a spirit is made with accelerated aging or natural aging?
I doubt anyone will actually see this at this point, but as far as that oaky whiskey question goes: I used to work a job installing wood floors at people homes. We always worked with oak specifically and most of the time would be spent shaving and sanding the wood. Every day, even if we wore masks, I'd come back to my car with unfathomable amounts of sawdust clogging up my nose. I could keep blowing out the sawdust for several hours after as I went about the rest of my day. One day I went to a local liquor store where they recommended I try Makers 46 if I wanted a nice somewhat complex bourbon. So I took it home, opened the bottle, and had an immediate wave of wage-cuck ferocity wash over me as I noticed that the whiskey seemed to have been aged within my dusty nostrils. It was such a bitter flashback that I only drank the one glass and thanked the heavens my roommate at the time was a raging alcoholic who could make use of the celestial mockery that had befallen me. Anyway...Makers 46...smells like wood, tastes like wood. Great as a reference point, imo.
Tasting notes like "shiny", "metallic", "rounded" etc. are essentially synesthetic sensations, ask yourself "If I saw what I'm tasting, what would it look like?". It is often hard to describe to someone who's not familiar with it, as it the act of putting words to this comes with experience. It is in fact believed that most if not all humans experience some kind of synesthesia, like most people will for example associate colour to temperature ("warm" or "cold" colours), or as Daniel pointed out, words that sound "pointy" or "dull".
i feel like sometimes i see some tension between you too. remember to appreciate the shit out of each other. if u cant see ur life without this frien make sure ur treating each other like it.
Emma definitely needs to fill the laugavulin with Laphroaig. I can see Daniel's face when he goes to AB compare using it, That "dammit Emma I've been duped again" face.
What's the difference between this Jameson 18 Years and the Jameson 18 Years Limited Reserve? I had the Limited Reserve last week and want to buy the bottle now, but the Limited Reserve is alot more expensive. :(
Of the Irish Whiskeys I like Bushmills Black maybe even better than Red Breast 12. I would like to see Conner McGregor's Proper Twelve reviewed. It sells for around $26 on the coast of South Carolina.and to me rivals some of the more expensive brands.
For me Jameson is one of the best whiskeys i like it its a little bit sweet sour thats how i feel it balanced not only budget but i feel its like best for the prise
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is Oaky and in a good way. While not nearly as Oaky, I enjoy the oakiness of Michters American. Interesting that you mention iodine in the same episode as you remove the Laphroaig from its rightful place.
Granted I don't drink alcohol, but I always imagined that a "shiny" whiskey hits you more at the front or center of your tongue with some sort of sharp flavor like a soda or sparkling water would, and a "dull" or "deep" whiskey would hit you more in the back of the mouth or throat like it's trying to gag you like overly sickly deeply sweet things like caramel or too much brown sugar would. Accurate analogy or am I just dumb?

Guys please would you review "jameson black barrel" it would be great to hear you opinion
It's a little bourbon soaked Irish baby.
Oaky flavor: Woodford Reserver Double Oaked.
I know it's not bourbon but I get a ton of Oakiness when I add a few drops of water in green spot. It takes away some of the other sweet and Irish notes and promotes the wood side. Noticed this when exploring it and was enjoying a flight with Green Spot, Yellow Spot and Redbreast.
I kept thinking Dan was saying “linen” when he was saying “lemon” and I was soooo confused, especially when he said citrus.
Thanks Rex for pronouncing it the right way
I thought he was saying women lmao
For that Oak note in bourbon, Hudson Valley Baby Bourbon
"Our marriage counselor" was the most I've laughed at a comment in one of your videos in a long time.

Jameson is just a mixer whiskey for your coke, gingerale or red lemonade (If you know, you know)
I see The Quite Man in the shelf/rack but couldn't find a review from your guys, could share if available or make one review

0:50 - that’s the most sense Rex has ever made
try the Jameson black barrel if you haven't already, best bang for your buck in the Jameson lineup in my opinion. Would love to hear about yours...
They should sell whiskey in very small gallon barrels that way you can age it more if you want to
Wild turkey 101 had an oak-y finish in my opinion. May have been the comparison I was making with old forester 100 at the time though
My Wild Turkey Rare Breed came in today and I REALLY like it
Oakiest whisk(e)y I can think of is Michter's US1 American Whiskey. Double oaked bourbons are also up there, like Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Could you get your hands on a FRYSK HYNDER SINGLE MALT WHISKY, from Us Heit from The Netherlands?
Frysk Hynder is awesome. I love that stuff. I have one finished in cognac barrels. So amazing
I think I caught a glimpse of frysk hynder in a modern rogue episode about the whiskey vault
So they must have it
should the "high-end" shelf sponsors be
bottle OVERLORDS?
I vote yes
The Irish Insurgency gains strength! Love my Jameson 18, but mine is an older one.

I would also add any Four Roses Single Barrel. No two are alike, but in my experience, they all have amazing oak notes.

What’s the difference between Jameson 18 year and Jameson bow street 18 year ? Is it two different types
Bow Street is cask strength, non-chill filtered, and utterly delicious.
Jameson Bow St batch 1, 18 year old is the same price but is 55.5% abv.
And tastes so much better
Good morning from the wind blown PNW!
i keep seeing that LOT 40. Anybody have that? and how is it?

Do the MBs send their bottles to them for free (and MB is paying the bottle) or do they get compensation?
How does tthis compair with the 12 y.o. Jameson used to make?
Does Old Forester qualify for heavy oak?
So first fill is like first-hand or first owner for a used car; means someone else filled it first.
Daniel’s OCD was showing just a bit there. 😂
Must be tough keeping all those bottles organized.

Is there a video of the guys going through that "wall of fame" being them?
Oak- Stagg Jr
Iodine- Talisker 10
Shiny- Glenmorangie original
Smooth/rounded- Woodford double oak
It's a damn good whiskey. My wife's favourite
I want that... I am a huge fan of Jameson, all of their variants. I’m envious of you both.
I hope you Guys do a review on oilfire it’s my favorite and it’s really smooth
So. I think I'm gona go grab this Jameson 18. Ive seen it for 80 bucks. So.... Good bye wallet! It was beautiful knowing you!
They should try the cask strength version, it's amazing!
Yes I agree the CS version is so much better. Cheers

Wouldn't Woodford reserve double oak class as a heavily oaked bourbon?
Oak? How about Jim Beam Devil's Cut?
I get a lot of vanilla flavor with the 18 year. Like a vanilla cream or custard
