Jamesons, how do you drink yours?

[johndeere]

Not for me i would have to give it away

Frequently

 

[BenBhoy]

Jamesons just fine neat. Controversial, but I much prefer Irish singles to scotch.

Straight , it has a mellow flavour as it is, I think adding anything including water ruins the taste.

Drink a proper drink instead?

Barry Crockett, master distiller Jameson and Midleton recommended a drop of water in whiskey to bring out the flavours.
I was in a job that got me a bottle of Midleton Very Rare every year while the job lasted. It made up for a lot of s+it. A lovely drop.

There’s a man that knows his whiskey.

Neat over 3 cubes of ice or a tall one with ginger beer. I see various of us have recommended with ginger ale. Too sweet for my taste but with a good ginger beer, think Bundaberg, it’s marvellous. I lament the passing of M&S’ ginger beer.

Hot whiskey. Don’t knock it. Great cure for the man flu also

Oh you lucky, lucky barstool. I’ve seen bottles of Midleton in the Celtic Whiskey Shop for north of €2500 . Yes, a drop of water can open up the flavours.

Yes but only with bells or grouse or an equally good paint stripper.

As kids we used to be given whiskey hot water and honey when we had a cold. Always slept well .

 

[308tikka]

Neat, why would anyone add water to a nice whisky/whiskey?

Because it spaces out the molecules, allows the palate to actually taste and not be numbed.... guides at whisky tours do it....

The sainted Barry Crockett - bless! This was bought by me for a big birthday which was last year! Sooo maybe next big one…..

As half a Scotsmen ( I know the wallet half ) I have understanding kids .
Just a drop of water nothing else, sorry Jamesons drinkers your missing out

 

[FrenchieBoy]

Well I've tried a wee (Well not really so wee) drop of Jamesons (Neat) I think it tastes fine neat - It's still warming me nicely on it's way down, but I'm not 100% sure so I'm afraid I'll just have to try another!

A proper drink…? I’ve tried to drink Laphraoigh neat and with every imaginable mixer. Still tasted like surgical spirit.
