Review:
Yes, its is that time of year again in NYC. It’s St. Patrick’s Day this month, so let’s all go out and get shit faced and not really understand what Patrick did to become a Saint.
I am not a big fan of Jameson Whiskey. This whiskey has no special nose, a rough finish, and tastes cheap. Jameson is a triple distilled blended whiskey and it is what it is, a baseline product to be used in other version the distillery produces.
Everyone in NYC knows Jameson because regular bars offer it at $4-5 a shot (a very small shot) which makes it one of the most drank whiskey in NYC based on recent statistics on Facebook. Let us assume Facebook news is accurate with this statement, and it probably is because a few years ago, Bloomberg News ran a story about Jameson was ramping up production to match Jack Daniels. Today it appears to be true as Jameson is on the shelf of almost every bar in America.
Jameson is very affordable but nothing that special. It goes good in Irish coffee, in mixers, or if you want to get drunk affordably. If you like Jameson I would recommend you increase your budget and purchase one of their aged stated whiskeys or their Red Breast 12 Year Old.
Priced around $35 and I am not a fan of this expression from Jameson.
