Jameson Cold Brew Set To Refresh Irish Whiskey And Coffee (Jameson)

I’d be willing to try some right now, just to see what all the fuss is about.
I think it’s badly named, though.
Martyr to the cause.
you’d go to hell for drinking that
I hope they mean Colombia, and not Columbia.
whiskey and coffee the two drinks that bring out the peaceful easy going side of a chap/ette
oh I dunno….I’ve seen people do strange things on the whiskey
personally always found Jameson a little harsh, adding coffee would hide it a bit so that idea could be an improvement
The standard Jameson is a little rough, the aged ones are quite smooth. I find Redbreast 12, to be one of the best value Irish whiskeys
True but I find that it is way more expensive than it used to be..
Ha! So true. They elicit gentle whimsy.
I read a thing once and it claimed that fair trade coffee was generally rubbish quality. The reason: no matter how poor quality the coffee beans were, the farmers were guaranteed a minimum price. There was no incentive to produce a premium product any more
I heard it was because they get rubbish land so the crops don’t grow well.
It’s generally true, though. Fair Trade tea/coffee isn’t great.
Yes, we must keep the developing world in a constant state of servitude to ensure that they are incentivized to produce a premium coffee product to my liking
I’d be very much insistent that it’s cheaper than a bottle of hooch, cos it’s not, is it? If the ratio is half and half, I expect a smaller price tag. Anyone ever salt their vodka? Tis mighty.
Is it a liqueur? I’m not even sure what a liqueur is, exactly. Flavoured spirit? Dunno.
I guess it depends on its strength.
Ya see? These are the issues! Where’s the government now, I ask ya?
Home made is best anyway, you get to have the heavy hand.
A liqueur is any spirit that is flavoured and usually sugared. They can be a great range of strengths, from the luncheon-friendly Aperol at a meagre 11%, the more standard 25% of Crème de Menthe, on to spirit-strength offerings such as Cointreau at 40%, and Chartreuse at 55%.
If you knew that off the top of you’re head, OB, you’re my idol.
Oh, I’m fond of a dash of green chartreuse. I didn’t know it was that strong: no wonder it puts a pep in my step. Have you tried Izarra? Yum.
No, I haven’t. I shall hunt it out the next time I am stocking up on obscure bottles.
35% abv, definitely acceptable
But how much of that is coffee? 35% is grand, but if you’re actually only getting a naggin of 35%, that’s a bit pish.
I am such a hobo, am’nt I? Crème de meths, now that’s a drink.
I’m not sure I understand you but normal Jemmy is 40% so, to have a guess, I’d imagine it’s 7:1 ratio of Jameson to whatever coffee stuff they’ve added to it.
Yes. the ratio is what I mean. If it was 7:1, fill your boots, but if it was 4:4, I’d be feeling a bit cheated. As mentioned, I’m a mere a step above hobo, so this is important to me.
I’d give it a lash
In fact it might be the jobbie for the Frilly after Nigella Christmas Cakes instead of Bourbon and Tia Maria
is there a competition going?
Might actually be nice in a cake. Hmm, now I want it too. Is it Friday afternoon, by any chance?
Here’s one that’s currently on the market.

For 41 euros a bottle, the bit that isn’t whiskey better be ready to make the dinner too. And put out.
Brilliant :)
There used to be a drink, was it by Carolan’s?, where you had a cream liqueur on one side of the bottle and a black on the other so you could make your own baby guinness. Is that still around?
Could it be an “Irish Coffee” ?!?
Without the cream !
