This is the Gold standard for blended Irish Whiskeys. It is a good everyday pain/stress reliever and may just be the love of my life.

Jameson is the direct way to my heart. When I need to relax and forget about the stresses of my life nothing is better than a Jameson on the rocks for me. It's so smooth and subtle and never ever let's me down. And if I'm not feeling as stressed, a Jameson and ginger is the next best thing. Lighter and not quite the same punch as on the rocks, but nonetheless it lacks nothing and never disappoints. Plus, in this economy, a flask of Jameson smuggled into a club goes a loooong way :) And keeps money in your pockets!

Makes that morning cup of coffee that much tastier!Good whiskey for sipping on the rocks. I haven't mixed it a whole lot, but I'm sure it is great for that too.

This is the very water of life. Sliante. Not to say there aren't better Irish whiskies, which there certainly are, but this is the only good one available where I live, so my tastes have become simplified.

Good priced every day drinking Irish. I prefer it neat myself. It's a bit sweet and not as complex as some other blends (J.W. Black, or even Bushmills Black come to mind in superiority), but it's about the best bang for the buck if you want to spend less than $35 for a liter. I've not mixed it, as I'm not much on mixing, I enjoy the whiskey for what it is. This was actually my first whiskey and I think it's a good introduction to whiskey for someone who's never had it. If you want an excellent Irish try Redbreast 12yr (or 15yr, should you be able to find it), Connemara, Bushmills 10yr, or even the older Jameson. But, if you want to able to enjoy a decent dram most of the week get a big bottle of Jameson. I believe they even sell it in ~4L bottles that resemble milk jugs, handle and all. All and all, best deal for an aged spirit out there, if you don't mind sweet.

Excellent whiskey. Easy to drink, very smooth with a good flavor. I always have a bottle of it around. It mixes well but is one of the few whiskey's I will drink neat.
fyr3wyr3 05/28/2008
better than bushmills original, but regular jameson is nothing special to me. To watery in taste and in thickness. I have not yet tried the 12yr, but i do hear that it is one of the best irish whiskies.

I saw a lot of this getting served too but gave it a low rating just because I don't like whiskey.
Automatt 03/17/2008
This is a fine beverage neat or with one ice cube.

Another good choice in Irish whisky. A little more character than Bushmills.
Loerke 03/18/2007
The only whiskey that's like dessert to me. Sweeter and smoother than most. I rarely drink whiskey, though...unless, like yesterday, it's St. Patrick's Day. I avoid it because whiskey, true to its stereotype, makes me feel pissed off. And I'd prefer to get pissed off for a reason. I'll let the connoisseurs sniff more carefully, but if it's got to be whiskey, it's Jameson's for me.
GenghisTheHun 02/20/2007
I like it part for the taste and part for sentiment. I remember the Jameson reference in The Last Hurrah. That was the first I'd heard of it, and I was a fan since. I suppose that was about 1955.
Enkidu 02/20/2007
Superb. Has a surprisingly delicate and complex flavor for fire-water. The best of the easily-available Irish whiskies in the U.S.

I enjoy a nightcap made with Jameson and a dash of Bailey's in a large mug of coffee.

F#cking Brilliant!
rabal 08/26/2006
Man this is great stuff. I just love it. I'm actually drinking it right now! I buy more Jameson than any other whisky. Outside of my single malt preferences, this is as good as it gets. Exceptionally smooth, it slips down a treat and leaves you longing for more.
JOHN HAYEN 06/27/2006
Always a tastie "tip" of the bottle or the flask....great around the bomb fire, or watching a game on a chilly day. Very smooth.
Colm 02/08/2006
There is simply nothing remarkable about Jameson's Irish Whiskey. It is pleasant but undistinguished. Even it's most ardent admirers couldn't claim that it is the best whiskey from Ireland. Out of the few that I've tasted, I'd say it's no better than 7th or 8th. I'm certainly not buying Jameson's when I can buy the much better Powers for $5 less a bottle. Jameson's bears the same relationship to Irish whiskey generally as Budweiser does to beer. It is not unpleasant, but I'm not about to drink it unless it's the only thing behind the bar. Why Pernod Ricard are pushing this brand instead of either Power's or Black Bush is baffling to me.

No whiskey maven..but I take it over Bushmills..
russell.j.coll er 01/18/2006
Not even a contest... straight to re-hab.
kidquick 01/22/2005
I would have given it four stars, but the ladies seem to love it. Goes down easy and puts them in the mood, so add one star!
s2sailor 09/23/2004
I usually drink scotch and I found this very appealing and most likely find myself indulging in some more.
brentumsl 09/22/2004
I took the tour in Dublin and love this stuff. Very smoooth with some oak, vanilla, and pure grain taste. Very great and it excellent with a little ice.
badflyfishingg uy 07/17/2004
Jameson whisky is very smooth (triple distilled, you know) and makes a wonderful Irish coffee. The 12 year is even better, and don't miss a chance at the 18 year if you a lucky enough to get a shot at a glass. As good as the regular Jameson is, the 12 and 18 years are superb.
thebc 02/10/2004
I hate this rating page, they should really separate the bourbons and whiskeys - there is a difference. This is my personal favorite of the whiskey's. The irish love their whiskey, and this is the preferred irish whiskey. A bit tastier than american whiskey's and perhaps a bit stronger in flavor. A good straight wiskey to drink.
Dragon 5 10/07/2003
I like it in coffee with a little cream.
lowrider 06/16/2003
Good Stuff I like Irish Wiskey Jameson is pretty good

NOTHING LIKE GOOD OLD IRISH WHISKEY AND A PINT WITH A LITTLE LUCK AND YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY THEY SAY
zerO 02/22/2003
Tastes a lot like Maker's Mark...which is incredibly overrated.
crowbar 12/11/2002
Best whisky there is. At least thats what the empty bottle tells me the next day!
monkezuncle 11/20/2002
Outstanding! A great Irish Whiskey and it makes an incredible Whiskey Sour! Buy it by the case!
Blackeye 03/02/2000
http://www.independent.ie/2000/61/b01g.shtml Great time to take advantage of the weak Euro and fill your drink cabinet with some excellent Irish Whiskey. Scot's whiskey bit too expensive.

a great whisky to order on the rocks with a splash (of water)
