You are a great person to forgive and forget the horrible crime that were personal committed against you. The main differences between Tullamore Dew vs Jameson are: Tullamore Dew is produced in different distilleries, whereas Jameson is produced in a single distillery. All Irish whiskey is great. As for the religious differences, its always been easier for those not in the mess (in the US, England) to say and perpetuate things over that of those who have to suffer the views and manipulations of outsiders. It is true to say it is an almost exclusively Protestant village, but otherwise it is a quiet rural area on a picturesque coastline, visited annually by thousands of tourists from both side of the divide. Bushmills is a great whisky celebrating an important anniversary this year with an updated look that will appear in late 2009. The new bottling hall is also taking shape even though itll be a while before the on site whiskey will be bottled. Were not bothered by any of that old bullshit now.

This was a long term plan but theyve brought it forward by about 8-10 years. I do believe Irishness & Irish politics is whitewashed for Americans and presented from a certain political viewpoint.

The last member of the family to sit on the board was Sir Thomas Talbot Power,[8] who died in 1930,[10] and with him the Power's Baronetcy. Also, I understand that corned beef and cabbage is not a traditional Irish meal but it is a traditional Irish American Meal, particularly in the North East. I was aware of the obvious problem with the claim that Bushmills is 'protestant whisky' but this gives a great insight. Paddy is a brand of blended Irish whiskey produced by Irish Distillers, at the Midleton distillery in County Cork, on behalf of Sazerac, a privately held American company. The difference between the two has to do with the history of whiskey production in Ireland. There is whiskey, and a whiskey drinker is a whiskey drinker no matter how they take it.

I could be fairly sure the master distiller was hired because he was good at distilling whiskey and not because they needed to hire a Catholic. Bushmills, which refused to hire Catholics for many years has been actively trying to recruit Catholic employees of late, because the pay a wee tax penalty for lack of diversity in their workforce. Jamesons for sure. If you are not an active Catholic or Protestant. Wow, not one mention of Tullamore Dew. Delicious!

Patrick Irish whiskey tends to be a lighter style of whiskey than Scotch or American whiskies, but that doesnt mean its necessarily lower in quality. If you dont beleive in god the whole situation would appear ridiculous.

Does anyone know why these bottles were over there ? Whisky is Scotch, followed by Canada. Jameson has distilled fine Irish malt which has been then sold to Bushmills to use as a blend all of the way through the most controversial of times of Irish English relations to current.

Do you have a clue what an ol Yankee could do there for wages? The version that Im familiar with is, of course Jamison is Catholic and Bushmills is Protestant. Im after trying many whiskies and Jamesons Gold is my current favourite, if a bit spendy. Most of those comments are from Americans who watch a lot of television, Im afraid. Bushmills is produced from 100% malted barley and grain whiskey (which it receives from the Midleton Distillery in Co. Cork where Jameson is made). So have a pint, pull, prayer, and lets party.

Jamesons one-time MD (CEO in the USA) was Andrew Jameson. I tasted the Jamesons before I poured in any ginger ale & so glad I did, Irish whiskey is sooooo much better IMHO than Scotch or bourbon IMHO. Redbreast makes for good sipping but for my budget Powers is my standby. Redbreast is wonderful, but spendy. Mostly only Catholics or the nonreligious drink here. But If you want to support Ireland, go and visit and maybe read a few history books and hopefully realise that most normal people dont give a toss about religious leanings.
