We did a bus tour of the city on our first Sunday in town, which included a stop over at the Jameson Whiskey factory. We toured the original site--which no longer makes whiskey there--and learned all the steps in the process. Jameson's is distilled three times compared to Jack Daniels which is only distilled once. Obviously, this is why the Jameson is so smooth! Not sure we were the best to distinguish this. I couldn't bring myself to volunteer to be a taste tester of the three whiskey's since a few sips of the Jameson with cranberry juice was even a bit much. Laura took a swig and didn't care for it much. Next we'll have to try to tour the Guinness factory!
Pam and Laura,
ReplyDeleteI am envious! I really wish I could make it over for a visit! I will settle for second best, following your blog. Thanks for doing it!
