Thursday Thing: Jameson Whiskey

If I’m going to drink, I want to drink single malt whiskey, and if I get to pick, I want it to be Irish, and if I really, really get to pick, I want it to be Jameson.

In fact, as I’m typing this I’m sipping it out of a flask. That’s right, a flask. Straight up. I have a mother of a headache and a neck thing that ice, two Vicodin, a neckrub, Blue Stop, and sobbing didn’t fix. Now I feel fine. Verrry, verrrry fine.

Normally I just drink Jameson for pleasure, however. Yes, it’s sharp and has a bite. That’s why it’s good. And if you mix it with Bailey’s or a cheap knockoff of Bailey’s, you have a Dirty Whiskey, which is what good Jameson is when it goes to heaven.

Jameson Whiskey. If you see me with a flask in my hand at a conference, that’s what’s in it. Makes the world look right-side up again in almost any situation. Except behind the wheel of a car. But really, wouldn’t you rather be riding than driving? Thought so.

    I love Jameson. It’s the only whiskey worth drinking. Straight up – no water and no ice. Absolute nectar.

    Not a whiskey drinker but I loved the commercial and know I know what Randy was drinking.

    I tore two ligaments in my knee the other night. I knew the painkillers I had wouldn’t touch it, so I started drinking Jamesons. I was still in pain but quickly didn’t care.

    I think I just fell a little in love with you! I love a good whiskey but as a woman when I order it I always get the stank eye! Good to know another chica who has taste!

    • Really! Maybe it helps that I’m six foot tall and more than a bit of an amazon in every way, not just height. I don’t think I give off much of a “go ahead, mock my drink” vibe. Someday we’ll order ours together and tell them to leave the bottle.

        Omg! Now I’m totally in love with you! I’m also 6 feet tall and yet I must not give off that I’m gonna shove my size 12 shoes in an unholy place if you give me a hard time vibe. You will have to teach me obiwan….over a bottle of course!

    The first time I ever got sick-drunk was on Jameson’s. Beautiful stuff. And the commercial is hilarious. I know Irishmen like that.

    My husband and I are taking a trip to scotland this summer and I am determined to like whisky before I go! I think I need to start drinking now to prepare…

    Sorry, I’m more of a Guiness gal myself. I wouldn’t mind hoisting a couple right now but it’s too cold so I will just doctor my coffee with some rum and call it a night.
