Jameson
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- To op, I’m late to jameson, via higher end single malts, and though I was snobby before about it I like it now as a sweet easy drinking one that doesn’t break the bank.
- I thibk Jameson is a nice, smooth, well priced whisky. Of course there are other drams out there that I would prefer, but I think it is overall good value for money.
- Jameson for irish coffee
- I personally like the basic jameson for mixing
- Agreed, jameson is nice too! Im a whisky noobie and just recently tried jameson for the first time too.
Cons
- I feel more alcohol bite with Jameson than with Talisker Skye or Caol Ila
- I have regular Jameson at home, but I’m not a fan because I get a lot of alcohol on the nose and in the throat — it burns. There’s a sweet note alongside it, but it feels disconnected from the alcohol.
- Jameson is drinkable, but I'm just not a fan of that double oak, glendalough.
- I received a bottle of Redbreast 15 as a gift, and directly compared it in a highball to a Jameson one. Now it’s like, “Why should I settle for a Jameson highball?”
- I had only really tasted very basic things like Crown Royal and Jameson before, and neither of those invited me any further into the whisky world.

In Canada, essentially any name brand manufacturer ( Jameson, can-prev, confident, to name a few) will have pretty strict guidelines on what's declared vs what's in them
