John Jameson, a Scot (god bless ‘em), moved to Dublin in the 1770s and soon acquired a local distillery. He went on to found one of the first legal distilleries in Ireland in 1780. He continued to acquire more and more distilleries throughout Ireland and once claimed to have well over a million gallons of whiskey aging under the streets of Dublin. John Jameson & Son merged with rivals John Power & Son and Cork Distillers Company. The Irish Distillers Group was later acquired in 1989 by Pernod Ricard against other companies (Gilbey’s and Guinness). Ricard also owns the Bushmills Distillery.
Found the above on Google.
Michael Collins Blend is super smooth. The single malt Michael Collins taste like scotch.
My friend in Ireland is pissed that MC is available in the US while being unavailable in Ireland at this time.
