New York Irish pub builds Christmas tree out of Jameson bottles in memory of beloved employee

AN IRISH pub in New York has paid a heartwarming festive tribute to a former employee who passed away earlier this year, by constructing a Christmas tree made out of Jameson whiskey bottles.

Roz Hickey was a regular fixture at Shamrock Jack’s Irish Pub in Irondequoit, New York, for well over a decade, working her way up from bar tender to manager.

Christmas was a special time of year for Roz, who regularly took charge of Shamrock Jack’s festive decorations, coming up with colourful and highly creative ideas to help get everyone in the spirit of things.

Two years ago, Roz hit upon a novel idea inspired by Mark Petzing, the pub’s owner, who had just returned from a trip to Ireland.

While visiting the Emerald Isle, Mark had come across a chandelier made entirely out of Jameson whiskey bottles. He took a picture to share with Roz back at Shamrock Jack’s.

That’s where it began, with Roz spending the next two years collecting somewhere in the region of 800 empty whiskey bottles with a view to constructing her very own Jameson Christmas tree.

for those that are into bottles

Elon Musk has a 250 tequila that is sold out...the marketing guy that he is...he is going to start selling the bottle and shot glass...

https://shop.tesla.com/product/tesla-tequila

his 69.50 short shorts also sold out.

I would buy both if I get a chance...

The presentation of the Short Shorts was pretty expensive looking and well done. Saw the unboxing on twitter

The folks at Jameson are probably saying, “Aye, ye can’t buy promotion like this!”

I hope Jameson gets permission to use it.
