Jameson 15-year

[mrbigjas]

OK last night I had a delicious Jameson 15-year. So I looked it up on the PA state store website--it's $118 or $122 a bottle.

Right next to it on the list is the 18 year, which is $70 a bottle, and the 18 year triple distilled master selection, which is $83.

Anyone know why this is? My internet connection isn't going through to jameson.ie right now.

It is a very special distillation and limited edition. Each bottle is numbered.

This is from Internet Wines & Sprits:

Jameson Distillery is celebrating the millennium with Jameson Limited Edition Pure Pot Still. The 15-year-old Irish whiskey was selected from a special reserve of 200 exceptional casks. Each bottle will be individually numbered. The pure pot still whiskey was matured in dark aromatic warehouses in hand-picked American barrels and Oloroso sherry butts, undisturbed since 1984, providing a sherry oak finish.Its flavor is as long as its name. While Jameson Gold is big and unafraid of flexing its muscles, this new Jameson Pure Pot Still 15 year old teases and seduces with charm and finesse.

Its flavors are complex and perfectly balanced, and it expresses a balance of maturity and youth seldom found in a whiskey. This whiskey was just recently released and in limited quantities. Save up $100, then go out and buy a bottle. It’s a lot of money, but I’m sure you can find it somewhere. Skip lunches. Don’t get a haircut. Just do it!
