whisky review 121 - Jameson Crested Ten
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- ... a recent version of Jameson Whiskey now more widely available due to the growing popularity of traditional 'Pot Still' Irish Spirit. Basically, this carries more complex notes and range of smell and flavour compared to the standard Jameson.
I can't believe I only just noticed the dalek on the shelf in the back. Good man Ralfy!
I'm having it right now, lovin it
love drinking and listening to the reviews
From that Statistic from Minnesota, Apparently a lot of Scandinavian Americans (Swedes and Norwegians) like Irish Whiskey. Minnesota's population has a high percentage of Scandinavian descended people along with a legend that a company of Vikings made it to what is now Minnesota.
great review thx 4 the post.
Hey Ralfy! Great video! I love this Whiskey! My bottle is almost empty ....
Best regards from Bavaria in Germany!
Today I had to purchase a small bottle of whisky, from a store with limited selection, on a budget. My preference so far, among the blended whiskies, has been for Teacher's Highland Cream, but they did not carry it in the size I wanted. Faced with a choice between things like Jack Daniels and Jim Beam, and Jameson original Irish whiskey, I picked Jameson.
I was surprised about one thing, upon trying it, and that was that Jameson has a very similar creamy mouthfeel to Teachers (with a mean bite)
I don't mean to sound critical but since the "pure pot still" designation is somewhat confusing more clarification might be good. For instance, Pure Pot Still is malted and unmalted barley mashed together and distilled as a single product (i.e. not blended). Whereas if you simply combine a whiskey made with malted barley and a whiskey made with unmalted barley it is a blend and not a pure pot still, to my understanding.
Maybe others find this pretty clear but it was confusing to me!
Great video! I just subscribed so forgive me if this question can be answered in another video of yours....
How can I go about trying different Irish Whiskeys in the states when there is such a limited variety in the stores?
Crested 10 remains rare in many IrishPubs and I have yet to see it in a London Pub.However its an off sales market leader in Ireland. Its so much more refined than regular Jemmy and fresher than the12 year old effort. There are many that wouldnt touch any other except in an emergency.
Ralfy I found a great deal on a bottle of jameson 18 Y.O. Found it hidden in the back of the bottle shop I work at, for a great price! Does it compare to the quality of the crested 10?
Distinctly a young whisky, with more of an alcohol bite than many other whiskies, and a lack of complexity common with mainstream whiskies. However, if you take away the alcohol bite, what's left is a mouthfeel and palate similar to Teacher's, without the malty nature or softness of that brand. Jameson also has a distinct citrus note.
There was enough going on with this whisky for a review, I thought. What are your thoughts on the original? I'd give it 73/100.
im from midleton where the jameson distilery is :)
I have a Jameson 12 yar old and still haven't opened it. I've put it off so long that i'm worried i'll be disappointed...
Ralfy, and what about others jamesons? nas, 12 yo, 18 yo? will you review them?
This whiskey is amazing value for money just called crested now different label.
Hello Ralfy.
Does Scotland have more in common with Ireland than it does with England?
Can any parallels be drawn thru the forces of oppression in by-gone eras?
thanks.
cheers
Go on then . . . ;) First point, I am an Englishman with Irish ancestors (and Welsh) - that shouldn't matter but if you were British/Irish you may find it would have a bearing on how much credence my take on this would have!
Historically, peoples from NE Ire and SW Scotland shared common tribal ancestry and migration across the Irish sea was common. So for many Scots/Irish I would say there is a common ancestry and culture for sure. How much of that remains today I wouldn't really know. If you asked someone from, say, SW Ire or NE Scotland the same question you may get very different answers! Most would probably agree a 'Celtic' connection between Irish & Scots but many Brits exclude all English from the 'Celtic' side of the Isles, but this is incorrect; dependant on region (e.g Cornwall or NW England, especially Cumbria.)
Re. the forces of oppression (here we go . . . ;) : It's quite a detailed and delicate subject with very long historical tales of war, religion and claiming of land - that said the years of peaceful trading and tribal gatherings are never really mentioned! Let's be frank, the English Monarchy/authorities claimed rights over Scotland, Wales and Ireland many moons ago, as they did to England itself prior to this (but, and this may be seen as controversial, you have to be honest/objective and ask how did the English rulers manage to do this!? Who oppressed who?). We are now left with the Republic of Ireland and the UK of GB and NI that make up the British Isles.
In my opinion, all British peoples have been oppressed by the establishment over the years. It benefits some and oppresses many others. I would say that from an English perspective it certainly feels as if England is seen as 'the big bad' if you like and that other nations will perhaps feel more connected due to this history - which is a shame! Divide and conquer! (look at today's football allegiances! :)
Bit of an essay and two years late, I know, but would be interested to hear Ralfy's take - not too sure he would touch those questions though . . .
Rian Creamer it’s more intertwined than that.
The initial Irish expansion into what is now western Scotland took place by a tuath (sept or grouping) from the very tip of county Antrim in NE Ireland.
But over the next 8 centuries Irish people flooded into western and northern Scotland and vice versa. Both spreading out all over both areas. Scots Gaelic will have vocab and phrases not used in the Irish of NE Ireland but used in the centre west of Ireland. Ben Nevis is a well known word for a mountain in Britain. The word benn in Irish means a mountain but is used in Connacht, in Ulster they use the word sleibh (slieve is how it is anglicized) which they use everywhere else in Ireland except Connacht.
Scot literally means Irishman. It is a Roman word for an Irishman and for 6 centuries Ireland was known as Scotia Major and what is now western and northern Scotland as Scotia Minor.
Can you recommend the white bottled version of this in 2021 ?
Your silence might be answer enough
@@4ll4nb31l It’s the same whiskey. They just dropped the “10” as it wasn’t supposed to be an age statement and was misleading. It’s not actually a 10 year old whiskey. It’s a very good whiskey.
@@Dreyno if you look at the white bottle again there is actually a huge X on the label still representing a ten. you are right not ten years of age though.
Hi Ralfy, where did you get the stopper from ?
Green man!I saw green man!LOL.Good vid 5/5*
Hi Ralfy, I know it's been 9 years since this review, but I'm wondering if the Jameson Crested I bought is the same you're talking about here. I guess it's not exactly. The one I bought (here in Uruguay, South America) is not Jameson Crested "Ten" but just Jameson Crested, on a transparent bottle, not green, it's actually a blend I believe, but some reviews point out it's like a single malt in comparison. I really like it, but I'm not sure it's the same. If it's not, could you please make a review about it? I'll paste a link with its details so you can see for sure what version of this whisky I'm talking about: www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/2854/jameson-crested
It's the same so they say just dropped the 10 which wasn't an age statement in the original.
Gene rules!
p.s. first, once :P
My friends an I tend to drink Jameson with cola. I tried it neat and it's reeealy boring stuff. I like my single malt scotch. But this one tastes so "young" and uncomplex.
I haven't tried this other Jameson ..
leave out the blarney!
