Rihanna sings in the Cheers (Drink To That)-- Oh let the JAMESON sink in, I Drink To That,yeah, yeah -- in the first two lines of a very famous song, It's a song by Rihanna, and it includes Jameson, Ireland's Top 1 brand, which shows the influence of Irish whiskey in the US and around the world.

First, JAMESON, the best-selling Irish whiskey brand in the world. Pernod Ricard, one of the world's biggest Distillers of spirits, bought Irish Distillers in 1988 and owns the Jameson brand. Jameson is technically An Irish whiskey, but not a standard Irish company any more.

One of the things we often get is this one, the iconic green bottle, the standard Irish whiskey triple distilled, the standard triple blended whiskey. It's rich and mellow. Smooth, carefully drunk with floral, nutty and oak barrel aromas, this is a very good value for an entry level Irish whisky.

JAMESON Caskmate IPA/STOUT Craft beer is a whisky aged in a barrel. The IPA/Stout beer was brewed and then sent to the whisky factory to be re-added to a boutique whisky aged out. The whisky has a strong hop flavour, it's very special. But some people may not adapt to this change, feel neither fish nor fowl.

But when you're in Ireland, don't buy any of these. You should always order something nice, like 2012 Special Reserve, 2018 Limited Reserve, Signature, BlackBarrel, etc.

In particular, Black Barrel is a whisky exclusively available at the Irish distillery's visitor center, which is not available elsewhere. You can consider buying a bottle at Jameson's distillery. In April 2018, BOW STREET 18-year-old whiskey was released. It is aged in Bourbon barrels for 6-12 months and then aged in American oak barrels with an alcohol of 55.3 degrees. This one is special and you can try it if you are interested.

Tullamore Dew is the second best-selling Irish whiskey in the world. (The best is Jameson.) It was first brewed in 1829 in the small town of Tullamore in County Offaly, central Ireland. Dew came from the initials of former owner Daniel E. Williams: D.E.W. Therefore, the naming principle of foreigners is simple and crude, without so much connotation as we understand.

Same as Jameson, triple distillation. Tullamore Dew is a blend of grain whiskeys, malts and pot distillations to form the main flavors of whiskeys, which are then patiently aged in bourbon casks and finally aged for six months in three different casks (sherry casks, Rum casks, Portugal Port Pipes bucket, Madeira MadeiraDrums bucket, etc. Each cask has its own unique aroma, which gives it a richer flavor. Finally, the wine from the three casks is poured together before it can be bottled and sold.

Their standard models are aged in traditional refills, used bourbon and Sherry buckets. On closer inspection, all the features are discernible in the flavors: floral and biscuity notes from grain whiskies, citrus notes from malt whiskies, soft pungent notes from pot distillations, and nutty, maroon and vanilla aftertastes from Sherry and Bourbon barrels.

Close to this basic process are two 12 Year Old Special Reserve (40%) and 15 Year Old Trilogy, also triple distilled and triple blended. But the flavor is much richer.

Of course they have single-malt whiskies, 14 year old Single Malt (41.3%) and 18 year old Single Malt (41.3%) aged for 14/18 years in bourbon barrels and then in sherry barrels, The end section shall be cooked in Port Pipes, MadeiraDrums, Portugal, and bottled after at least 6 months of perfect balance. A lot of 18-year-old single malts are good in price.

But if it is possible, I suggest buying the following limited edition items, which are relatively rare.

1) Phoenix (55%) This limited edition whisky, which can only be found in airport shops, is also a triple distilled and triple blend whisky and features an old Oloroso sherry barrel finished and bottled with 55% alcohol;

2) Old Bonded Warehouse Release (46%), a special whisky developed to commemorate the reopening of Tullamore D.E.W. Visitor Centre in September 2012, remains a triple distilled and triple blended whisky, But it can only be purchased at the visitor center building in Ireland.

3) Cider Cask Finish (40%) and XO Rum Cask Finish (43%). One is a whisky made with Cider and the other is aged in XO Caribbean Rum Cask.

The third best-selling brand in Ireland. Paddy, this whiskey dates back to 1779, when it was known as the Cork Brewing Company's Old Irish whiskey. It was renamed Paddy in 1912, and the name was a funny one, not a founder or a winery owner or a place name, but purely a reference to the company's greatest salesman ever, Patrick J. O 'Flaherty, generally known as Paddy, The salesman work 40 years like one day, every day rush about in the first line whisky sales, from coast to coast, almost all over Ireland all large and small bar, and a humorous and generous, almost everyone who saw him will be his friend, at the end of drinkers in some whisky is also can't remember the name of this whisky, They just said Paddy's whiskey, and the company just change it’s name into Paddy.

Paady whisky remains the quintessential triple distillation and triple blend of Irish whiskies. Mixed grains provide a subtle fresh floral scent. The malt adds a biscuit-baking flavor and sweetness, and the wine has a traditional Irish creaminess -- a mixture of spices, honey and vanilla.

If I had to recommend one, try this classic. This is a recommendation hand-written on paper by an Old man who specializes in alcohol investment in Ireland, who thinks he's got the best value for money. It looks like this.

If you have a lot of money, try the Paddy 1960s, which is expensive for a reason. I will talk about a wine called Midleton later, but the price is still relatively high. Paddy was made in the same place as Paddy until 1966, when it was used for a triple blend, so if you want to taste the Midleton of more than 50 years ago for a fraction of the price, you can buy this wine and try it.

There is nothing special in this whiskey. What needs to be mentioned is their newly-built distillery in Dublin, which is quite beautiful. If you have time in Dublin, you must visit it. It dates back to the 12th century. The present church was built in 1859-1860 and is very typical of gothic design. The distillery's founder, Pearse Lyons, runs a very successful distillery in the United States producing Bourbon under the Town Branch® brand. As a descendant of Irish immigrants, he always dreamed of having an Irish whiskey distillery in Dublin. Lyons then embarked on a journey to find the perfect location in Dublin, until he discovered St James's church in 2013 and was drawn to its rich history. In addition to the location, Lyons even found his grandfather, John Hubert Lyons, buried in the churchyard.

So the church has been renovated and looks very beautiful, especially its new glass spire, now called the "Liberties Lantern," which can be used as a landmark. Another feature of the church is the stained glass frescoes and the two copper pot stills, Mighty Molly and LittleLizzie. Of course, the higher the price, the more things you can experience.

Tell me more about the wine they buy. Pearse The Original -- blended for five years, Pearse Distiller's Choice -- blended for seven years. Pearse Founder's Choice -- Single malt 12 years and Pearse Cooper's Select -- blended. If you want to buy. My personal recommendation is Pearse Founder's Choice, 12 years single malt, but I have a feeling that this wine may have been made in the US or picked up from other single malt whiskies in Ireland. The other three blends, WHICH I recommend, are Pearse Distiller's Choice - a seven-year blend of very traditional Irish blended whiskey, aged for a decent amount of time. (The shape of the bottle below may be different from that of JINGdong. It seems to be the last bottle with edges and corners. There will be no problem with the product.).

Pearse Lyons Distillery 5 Year Old Single Malt and Distillery Exclusive 2019 'Marriage of Malt' The first whisky to be made and the first Irish single malt to be aged five years at a new distillery in Nearly 25 years. Since it is a small batch production, a total of 8888 bottles were made. The last one is the 2019 limited edition, 888 bottles in total, sold only at their St. James Church factory, so the historical value of these two wines or the reputation of the limited edition far outweighs the value of the product itself, buy it or not as you wish.

The full name of their most famous whisky is Midleton Very Rare. The name is "Very Rare". Some people translate it as "extremely Rare". There are some relatively affordable versions, of course, and one of the most recent things the family did was launch their first limited edition single malt in February 2020. Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter One), using the peat single malt that Max Crockett, the family's master chief distiller, experimented with between 1964 and 1974, It is believed to be the first time this wine was used and sold. Unfortunately, the bottle is limited to 48 bottles and is only available in Ireland, France, the UK and the US, with a suggested retail price of $40,000 per 750ml bottle.

Engraved Engraved with your name (Engraved near the bottom), the Engraved Midleton Very Rare 2019 limited Edition whisky can be Engraved on the Engraved bottle by clicking on the first Engraved web site. If you don't mind paying a little more, you can also get your hands on the lettering Midleton Very Rare Barry Crockett Legacy Limited Edition, Now one of Midleton's two leading winemakers. This brand of whisky, of course, buy a send people really take shots, if too late to buy custom to Dublin airport duty-free shops, can take time to look at their house wine, especially their homes out of a series of limited edition, such as identifying a single cask (single) barrel of wine, the price really can reach thousands of European, We can't afford it, but we can afford it.

This is the custom style with the name engraved near the bottom of the bottle

So the Paddy 1960s, as I mentioned earlier, really is the price of conscience.

And then at the website where I asked you to check the prices, you can see that Jameson and Midleton are part of a company called Irish Distillers, which also includes Spot Range, Redbreast, Powers and Method and Madness. I'm just going to go through the brands and recommend buying them.

Spot Range - Available in red, yellow and green, similar to a traffic light design, the price is also based on color, with red (15 years) the highest, yellow (12 years) the second. Green is the least expensive, and despite the continued availability of Bordeaux or Napa Valley wine barrels, green is still not as expensive as red and yellow. But if you buy it yourself, I recommend the yellow one or the green one. Although the red one has more than 15 years of aging time, it is not as cost-effective as the 12-year one. The green version, which comes out in a limited edition almost every year, produces more than 200 bottles (about the size of a barrel), most of which are sold through Mitchell & Son's Dublin store, so it's a good idea to buy one.

Redbreast, the logo of the product is the robin. We can get 12 and 15 years in China and it's really not that expensive.

What if you want something different but don't have the budget? RedbreastAged 12 Year Cask Strength, the Best Irish Whisky of the Year and the best Irish Kettle Distilled Whisky of the Year, as announced by the Whisky Bible 2019. Another whisky is a joint product of Redbreast Lustau, a Midleton whisky factory, and Bodegas Lustau Winery in Spain, where the whisky is aged in casks. Are awards and custom, cost is really good, their own drink or gift is a good choice.

But what else can we buy. Those with money can check out the following two models, aged 21 and 27. The aged 27 years of whisky is very famous in professional circles, according to professional wine tasters comments on "the taste of the whisky including exotic fruit and red berries aroma, and cooked embellish the hardcore of summer fruit and berries, with a hint of chilli oil hot sense of balance, rhyme, with ripe fruit and wood spices. The price is also painful.

In 1791, founder James Power opened the JohnsLane distillery, which remains to this day. The characteristic of their liquor is that it is distilled in a single pot three times, which is a very standard Irish whiskey production method. The characteristic of their liquor is that only the middle of the liquor is retained in the second and third distillations, and the head and taste are discarded to ensure the stability of the taste. They were one of those cheap, good whiskeys that you could buy and taste, even if you didn't like to throw them away. From left to right, Powers Gold Label (said to sell over 2.5 million bottles a day in Ireland), PowersThree Swallow (said to taste like the original Powers), Powers John's Lane (12 years old). There's also a Powers 15 Year Single Cask, but it's not as cost-effective. Gold Label also has a small bottle called Baby Powers, you can buy a small taste.

Another is their unique pure drinking cup is so beautiful, You can get one once you see. 

Method and Madness has a long name. M&M's are used on many occasions, but they have nothing to do with M&Ms. And their bottle design is very fashionable, it is said that the octagonal body is designed to refract and reflect light, in order to create a kaleidoscope pattern in the bottle.

This also highlights the characteristics of their brand, which is based on the tradition and constantly breaks through itself. From time to time, new flavors are introduced to surprise people. They range from the cheapest Single Grain to the most expensive 28 Year Old Port Pipe, but again, which one to buy? I would like to recommend three items.

They have three signature whiskies, single grain whiskies, single pot distilled whiskies and single malt whiskies, from left to right below. I suggest single malt or single grain whiskies. Single pot distilled whiskies are Powers, which are really good and cheap.

I don't recommend the most expensive one, it is certainly delicious, but the price of less than 2,000 euros is not suitable for most people, but they have two limited editions, these two can be considered. One is virginoak Single Pot Still, Still distilled in a Single Pot, but the whisky is finally aged in original Oak casks in Hungary, while the other is distilled in the same process but in wild cherry casks, Both wines have very distinctive flavors.
