Whether you’re searching for the perfect Christmas present – or just want to stock up your booze cabinet for all the upcoming festive fun – Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to pick up a bottle of the good stuff. And right now, you can grab a whopping 1.5L bottle of Jameson’s Original Triple Distilled Blended Irish Whiskey for £38.79 on Amazon.
This takes it down from its full price of £53.20. One of Ireland’s most instantly recognisable whiskeys, it’s been triple distilled for a super smooth taste, and matured for at least four years for a complex finish.
Jameson’s is the kind of whiskey that will really go down well with a crowd. You can drink it neat, on the rocks, or really get into the holiday spirit by incorporating it into cocktails like a whiskey sour or an old fashioned.
And with a 1.5L bottle, you can be sure you won’t go wanting over the festive period. Amazon shoppers rave about Jameson’s whiskey, awarding it an average of 4.7 stars out of 5 from 138 ratings.
“You can not do wrong with this beautiful tasting whiskey with a lovely aroma and smooth as silk and for the price when on offer this is a marvelous drink, best drunk neat with a little ice,” raved one happy shopper.
Another called it a “great whiskey”, adding: “Love the taste of this Irish beauty.” A third simply added: “Just what the doctor ordered.”
Negative reviews are few and far between on Amazon, but you can see some slightly more critical notes at Sainsbury’s, where a 70cl bottle of the same whiskey retails for £25. “Not bad for cocktails, but don’t like it with ice. Smooth and oaky,” said one customer. Another noted a “hint of bitterness” in the drink.
If you wanted to buy a bottle as a gift this Christmas, M&S has the beautifully packaged Collection Islay Single Malt Whisky Gift for £50. Alternatively, if you fancied sticking to an Irish drop, you could opt for the Bushmills 10 Year Old Irish Malt Whiskey, which costs £37 at Sainsbury’s.
