Ah the famous "Hot Toddy" (childcare edition).As kids we used to be given whiskey hot water and honey when we had a cold. Always slept well.
Used to love getting a cold...
Jamesons, how do you drink yours?

Jameson like all good (is there a bad one?) irish whiskey is triple distilled so very smooth unlike the poor relation stuff from across the Irish Sea. It should be served in a crystal tumbler and savoured slowly; the best mixer if mix you really must, is another large Jameson.
Simples.
Slante!

Pick a suitable occasion and have at it with some appreciative friends would be my advice, otherwise you’ll die wondering, just like queen Elisabeth the first.Oh dear silly boy!

It tends to be very mellow with a sweet finish. Not to everyone’s taste admittedly.
The boxes are really nice and made from old oak casks, around £50 a pop.

Indeed true. Problem is I can no longer drink very much at all. Spose I could still share it with friends or just sell it.
What he said. The Jimmy is a lovely drop of whiskey.With just a drop of water

I previously took the tour at the Irish Distillers site in Smithfield, Dublin. They hosted us (large EU group) to Jameson with ice, ginger ale and lime, massive success, delicious and very refreshing. The guide also advocated using a small amount of spring water to release the flavours rather than taking it neat (which is how I previously took it), found it to be very good advice. In any event, enjoy in good health, sláinte!I was very fortunate in the fact that one of the gentlemen that I bowl with decided to have a bit if a clear out of his drinks cupboard and sell off all the whiskey that he has accumulated through the years as he doesn't drink whiskey but had had numerous bottles given to him over the years. He asked me if I would like to buy some (All unopened bottles) at "a very reasonable price" so I said yes of course I would! I ended up with 2 x 1 litre bottles of Grouse and 2 x litre bottles of Jameson's, and all he would take from me was £5.00 per bottle! I have to admit that I do enjoy a glass of Scotch. If it's a Single Malt I either drink it straight or with some ice, but if it's a blended one I like it with a drop of lemonade. Now we come on to the Jamesons.
In my 70 plus years of life I have never tried Jamesons but I am led to believe that it is very nice to drink so the million dollar question is - What is the best way to have Jamesons so that you get the best from the flavour?
How do you drink yours Guys?
p.s. I am a bit of a tight ar$e so No you lot are not invited round for a quiet drink this evening!
2023 was released at the distillery in Midelton at 12pm today, max 2 per customer at 210 euro per bottle.Very nice, empty the box is worth a few quid.

Many years ago I used to join in with a Tuesday night drinking gang at the local and the evening was always rounded off with a round of Jamesons malt, didn't matter how many were there we all bought a round. It was a bit messy sometimes.
So to answer your question @FrenchieBoy , with another one!

I got some Carrick Glen Still Spring Water and tried it with a glass of Jameson's (50/50) and it really does bring out the best in flavour.
Can you guess what I have just poured myself?

I had a neat Irish only last night. I had taken the pic to send to the SIL that gave it to me. This drop has got some real go in it too @ 56%.
No water nothing whatsoever.

An excellent choice sir!
Cask strength whiskey is rocket fuel - a well known fact that the irish did the first moon landing or at least the three fellas who had been drinking it all night thought they had….
Often improves with a wee splash of Adam’s Ale plus it lasts just a little longer.
Enjoy!
