nationwide Jameson Whiskey shortage (1 Viewer)

[grateful zed]

Many states are experiencing liquor shortages during the pandemic, according to a report by National Public Radio last year. That’s due to supply chain issues, like increased shipping costs, but also because producers have to anticipate demand many years in advance.

I've never heard of her. Is she a quality actress or does she suck? 

 

[Bluesbomber]

Plenty of tasty bourbons available to try...

i hope this doesnt start a domino effect for all irish whiskeys.

people drinking different labels will put unpredicted supply demands on all brands.

when Jameson does come back guess what?  +$$$

put a pretty good dent in it about 30 years ago but i think it has recovered since

Yellow Spot. Way better

He drinks a whiskey drink/he drinks a vodka drink...

I get knocked down! But I get up again!

I don't understand why anyone outside of Ireland drinks it. I guess I understand why they drink it now, but not 100%. They are Irish, it's Irish whiskey, but Scotland is right there. It's like eating at McDonald's because your grew up on it, even tho there's a Shake Shack across the street. 

Anyway, in NYC, Jameson has been out for at least two months. Most Cognac is out of stock, the ones that matter anyway, and Casamigos wasn't around for months. I heard they couldn't get glass bottles (supply chain) but I don't know if that's true.

and St. Pats day around the corner.

I have done a few saint Patrick's days in butte, my brother lived there for 5 years when I was living in Bozeman.

I have a few stories from those saint Patrick's day parties in butte.

Yellow Spot. Way better

Grab any of the spots you can (it’s like the colored dots we had ). Seriously though, Blue Spot is freaking incredible whiskey and I can’t wait to break back open my bottle on St. Patrick’s Day.

Other Irish to be on the lookout for:

- Teeling

- Connemara (peated)

- Tullamore Dew

- And saving the best for last - Redbreast 12 and my personal favorite Irish bottle (factoring in price too) Redbreast 12 Cask Strength - outstanding!

 

[AAABatteries]

And Jameson is mostly meh for me.  I have a bottle and it’s ok on the rocks but I get too much of that metallic and artificial vanilla notes drinking it neat.

Just head to Georgia - still see Jameson everywhere.

 

[Joe Mammy]

My niece married into the Powers family of Powers Irish Whiskey. No shortage for me.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

My favorite supermarket sample table ever featured 3 Irish whiskeys and the rare heavy handed sample lady.

even in Savannah?

Play in a holiday golf tournament with 30 or so amigos. On almost every tee box is a bottle of Redbreast 12 waiting…

Were a redbreast family as well.

Yeah - maybe I should have said come to Atlanta.  No clue about down on the coast but as big as St. Paddy's day is there then it could be they are running low/out.

 

[Dwayne Hoover]

I haven't noticed this in the Bay Area yet, is this a recent thing, like the past week or so?

I think as others have stated, good thing there are still a lot of better whiskies available.   I really won't miss the Jameson's, even though its usually a go to shooter on the golf course

 

[seahawk 17]

Jameson, Bushmills, Proper 12.

 

[beer 30]

Jameson is my go-to, everyday drink, two fingers deep on the rocks. This will be troubling.

montana state liquor store got a palette or 2.
