Talk:Jameson Irish Whiskey

message: Jameson was started in Dublin towards the end of the 18th century shortly before the British intensified their stranglehold on Dublin. The British government and police pressured Dublin distillers into only hiring protestants, at least a mjority of protestants. Jameson succamb to this pressure for a little while, although it wasn't without due pressure. They aren't like some of the northern Ireland or other Dublin distillers who overtly discriminated against catholics, but Jameson didn't take any risks to fight the pressure. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wtntiro (talk • contribs).
The above comment must be treated with a pinch of salt, because it's obviously written by an ill-educated person (possibly "Oirish"). However, a Roman Catholic friend of mine from Cork tells me that Jameson is/was regarded there as a "Protestant whiskey", so I wondered if the Jameson family were Protestants?

message: * Has anyone read the cited source and can confirm "In 1887, whilst exploring in Africa with Henry Morton Stanley, James Jameson heir to the whiskey empire, bought an 11-year-old girl for the price of six handkerchiefs and gave her to cannibals so that he could watch her being dismembered, cooked and eaten, while he sketched the whole process."?  It sounds kinda fishy to me. Cybersavior 03:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Two items in this list, Redbreast and Midleton, are most certainly not sold "under the Jameson name".  They have their own names, and Jameson does not appear on their labels.  This is a factual error which I will correct by deleting the two whiskeys in question from the list.  Jtnet (talk) 15:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Jameson Original

message: I just noticed on the Jamesons web site http://www.jamesonwhiskey.com/Home.aspx that John Jameson was actually Scottish and came to Ireland in 1770. He also was the first to triple distil Irish whiskey to make it smoother so he was quite the innovator. Think its alright to add he's Scottish and who knows perhaps add a page for him and biography. Was a bit of a shock but I have always wondered if that cross was a Scottish saltire on the bottle but it could just as well have been a flag of St. Patrick. Cheers.

thread_title: John Jameson was not Irish

message: "The company was established in 1780 when John Jameson established the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin. Originally one of the six main Dublin Whiskeys, Jameson it is now distilled in Cork, although vatting still takes place in Dublin."
The second sentence is ridiculous, but if anyone can explain to me why it is written that way then I will not edit. Is "whiskeys" a proper noun; why the comma  between "Whiskeys" and "Jameson" and I guess "it" was a typo? What's going on here? Too much drinking I suppose. While I'm at it - just for smoothness sake should the word "established" be used twice in the same sentence (see 1st sentence)?

message: 'Unlike other blends where several whiskeys from either other distilleries or the open market are combined together to reduce costs, the Jameson distilling tradition has always insisted upon producing every component of its whiskey "from grain to glass."'
Whilst I accept that this is both true and relevant, the sentence reads like an advert. Luke.ab09 (talk) 15:14, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Sorry, what's the reason for the wholesale removal of the varieties section last May? It was rather helpful and its removal seems arbitrary... 100.2.209.117 (talk) 09:48, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Terrible call. Leaves the article very incomplete. Listing a brand or company's products  is standard across articles on many industries. What they make now is arguable just as important as the company history, because it tells the reader what the company's modern output looks like. Removal was a mistake. oknazevad (talk) 14:04, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
