Jamesons Irish Whiskey
Jamesonis one of the most popular blended Irish Whiskey produced and sold worldwide, by the Irish Distilleries subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. Jameson is on the six main Dublin Whiskeys at the Jameson Distillery Bow St., Jameson is now distilled at the New Midleton Distillery in County Cork -source - Wikipedia
Jameson has an interesting history if we go by the whisky or whiskey first argument, the founder of the distillery John Jameson was originally a lawyer from Alloa, Scotland and previous to establishing the Jameson distillery in Ireland, he married Margaret Haig in 1768, Margaret was the eldest daughter of John Haig, the famous Scottish whisky distiller.
Jameson is produced from a blend of grain whiskey and single pot still whiskey, a single pot still whiskey is a traditional Irish distillation technique of using a mixture of malted and unmalted barley, and Jameson uses the Irish unmalted green barley, all sourced from within a fifty miles of the distillery in Cork.
The barley is dried in a closed kiln fired by natural gas, while anthracite was used previously. This is a distinctive contrast to the use of peat in firing the kiln in Scottish Whisky distillation, which adds a distinctive peat flavour.Carolans Irish Cream
Cream can be used to make a creamy cocktail, but when you make a cream cocktail make sure you whip and make your own version. You can also go for a heavy whipped cream which is thicker than regular cream and milk fat can be between 30%-40%.
For a rich and creamy cocktail recipe, combine heavy cream with one shot of alcohol and powdered sugar, then whip it until soft peaks form for a fluffy consistency or you can use it as a loose cream.Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
