Re: 'Blue Sky' Iwagumi @ 8 days full tank shot
No problem I take you to the Jameson Experience where they ply you( sorry, let you taste whiskies from around the world ) and let you make up your own mind which whiskey (Irish) or whisky you prefer.My brother in law did the tour a couple of years ago and came out pretty merry as we nominated him as 'official' taster where first he had five or six whiskies from around the world, Irish, Scotch, Canadian ,American and I think Japanese, all diluted with water. He chose his three favourites,Irish,Scotch and American bourbon then had a number of whiskies from those three countries, still diluted with water.American was pretty quickly discounted(you don't know which is which) as too raw, Scotch next as to 'peaty' and of the number of Irish whiskies until he had one left (just happened to be Jameson so they gave him a cert, and a free bottle of Jameson for his troubles) He is now back in South Africa only drinks Jameson whiskey (where ironically it's cheaper than here) if he is having a short, framed his certs plus the pewter measures I had to buy him.He fell sound asleep on the few short miles home 😀 I have a good friend working there so I get staff discount which works out pretty handy (includes most of the different Irish whiskies) Major difference between whiskies is the number of times they are distilled, American bourbon the least (once ) and Irish the most
