Irish whiskey (Irish: Fuisce or uisce beatha) is whiskey made on the island of Ireland.
The word "whiskey" is an Anglicisation of uisce beatha or uisge beatha, a phrase from the Goidelic branch of languages (Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx) meaning "water of life" (see aqua vitae).
Most Irish pot still whiskey is distilled thrice, while most (but not all) Scotch whisky is distilled twice. Peat is rarely used in the malting process, so that Irish whiskey has a smoother finish as opposed to the smoky, earthy overtones common to some Scotches. There are notable exceptions to these rules in both countries; an example is Connemara peated Irish malt (double distilled) whiskey from the Cooley Distillery in Riverstown, Cooley, County Louth.
Irish whiskey was once the most popular spirit in the world, though a long period of decline from the late 19th century onwards greatly damaged the industry. Although Scotland sustains approximately 105 distilleries, Ireland has only seven in current operation – only four of which have been operating long enough to have products sufficiently aged for current sale on the market as of 2013, and only one of which was operating before 1975. Irish whiskey has seen a great resurgence in popularity since the late twentieth century, and has been the fastest growing spirit in the world every year since 1990. The current growth rate is at roughly 20% per annum, prompting the construction and expansion of a number of distilleries.
Jameson is a blended Irish whiskey produced by the Irish Distillers subsidiary of Pernod Ricard.
The John Jameson and Son Irish Whiskey company was formally established in 1810 when John Jameson and his son (also John Jameson) took ownership of the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin which had originally been built by his wife's cousins the Steins in 1780. Jameson was a Scottish lawyer from Alloa in Clackmannanshire who had married Margaret Haig, a sister of the Haig brothers who owned the Haig distilleries. Margaret Haig was a first cousin of the Steins, a Scottish distilling family, also from Clackmannanshire, with significant distilling interests in Scotland and Dublin. On his marriage to Margaret Haig in 1786, John Jameson moved with his new wife to Dublin to manage the Stein's Bow Street Distillery (which had been established in 1780) for Margaret's Stein uncle. This explains the use of the year 1780 in Jameson marketing as the Bow Street Distillery was where Jameson Irish Whiskey was born. Portraits of John and Margaret Jameson by Sir Henry Raeburn are in the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.
... the best selling Irish Whiskey in the World, apparently
Jameson Irish Whisky is one of the iconic brands, steeped in history and tradition. I love to use it for a great deal of things ranging from cocktails to even cooking with it. It's also a wonderful sip on it's own when you want a change up!

At Jameson, we don’t like to pat ourselves on the back, but we like to think we know a thing or two about making whiskey, after all, we’ve been doing it since 1780.

On this episode of the show, as always, Sarah and Shaun ramble on pretty hardcore, spending a good while reminiscing about childhood gaming proclivities. Oh, but don't worry, we get into some other stuff as well. Like, the first season of Hannibal, the Israeli flick, Big Bad Wolves, and then we top it all off with a our thoughts about The Lego Movie! Oh man, it's sure to be a pretty understated affair. Also, the episode of the podcast is brought to by the power of Jameson Irish Whiskey, because who couldn't use a little mental lubrication, eh? Just as a brief aside/warning, while discussing the film Big Bad Wolves, Sarah and Shaun get into a discussion about child abuse, and offer up some personal anecdotes regarding the matter. I realize that this may be a sensitive topic for some, so, ...

Caught in a revolving door and my lungs are suffocating.
Working hard is my reward and my job is so frustrating.
I'm a martyr to myself and a hero to my family. I can feel a breaking point, a longing to be free
But instead I'll hang in there and suffer with the rest. I'm a drunk and a sentimental man
So dust off a bottle of your best Irish whiskey and drink with me to departed friends, To departed friends
In the middle of the night I wake up, my heart is pounding
I expected more from life than a house and TV watching
Cuz I wimped out on myself, take it out on my friends and family
Cuz they don't appreciate I sacrificed my dreams
Hey there guys I'm not the enemy it's just shared frustration that makes us fight
It's a long way to drive to not make any money, merry Christmas, at least we gotta try
