1930 Irish (whiskey) Cocktail - Cocktails After Dark

Writer's tears is a lovely whiskey

first

Love Writer's Tears!

Irish coffee with jameson is great

Glen, on Ragusa’s channel he recently did a segment on the shape of glasses, in particular, glasses for beer. But, it was touched upon regarding the shape of glasses, like wine glasses that have a tulip shape that directs fluids towards your mouth while enhancing the experience through the scent also being funneled towards your nose. I was wondering what your take on that might be? Could you do a segment on it?

Had to laugh at Julie's face at the first sip. I could see the shiver run down her spine. Love you two.

You might try Teelings. A little more body than Jameson or Bushmills.

go for Redbreast 12 cask strength.. no acid, extra orange... pass on the olives and substitute a cherry... ok

Jamison, my favourite

The Jamison Black Barrel for a few more bucks is a good upgrade over standard Jamison.

I really like it when one or both of them have a really negative response to the days recipe. It makes it seem more real. Especially when it's something they haven't tried before.

Need to be storing food not DRINKING...save alcohol for making ur own medicines!!!

My husband would say if you want to taste more of the whiskey, stop putting other stuff in it.

Julie ? No "wiggle" room for "creamed" on toast with Irish Whiskey - LOL

My grannies recipe for the Scottish version was very similar; 1 part whisky, 3 more parts whisky, top up with whisky and serve with a smoke of your choice. Honestly though, I am a whisky drinker and was cringing when you were tasting it. It's not really best to let it hang around on the front of your tongue for long - that was the sweet stuff you were using as well.

When I still drank, Jameson was my favorite and I only wanted it cold not over ice.

Cheers!

Writers' Tears; what a great name for whiskey/whisky. Thank you for the video.

Jameson whiskey is not a good whiskey. Like drinking whiskey laced with kerosene

I am totally biased and i do prefer the Jameson version.

This cocktail has too many tastes competing all at once. Sweet Vermouth, briney/salty olive. bitters, sour lemon twist, and sour phosphate with Irish Whisky. Maybe if it were done as a batch cocktail and rested in a bottle for a month or more may help? Even out some of those attributes.

Glen and Friends the greatest channel on here!

Gotta get some Green Spot!

Not a fan of Writer's Tears, have been on Proper Twelve for quite some time.

My favorite Irish is Redbreast. Definitely worth a try if you haven't yet!

I love Jameson. glad you tried. Jameson and Lots of other Whiskeys are not meant to be in a cocktail. How about a "Straight Shot Series with different Chasers" ? Try Jameson 18y with a shot of OJ as a chaser...... Luv this Channel....

Julie expressed a preference for gin in other videos. I am not a gin drinker, but I found myself wondering, what if one of the glasses had used gin in place of whiskey. 🤔

Powers is a decent Irish whiskey and its pretty easy on the bank account. When it comes to Jameson if the regular white label isn't doing it for you, try the Black Barrel.

Irish Whiskey is best with ice cubes and Meyer Lemon Bitters, and nothing else. I make my own Meyer Lemon Bitters, BTW.

Irish whiskey will work in any whiskey cocktail, like an old fashioned or a Manhattan. It will be a bit milder as Irish whiskey is generally more mild than bourbon or scotch, unless you use Red Breast or Green Spot which have a much more distinctive flavor.

So interesting to see how some concoctions may be not one's choice at all.

My current favourite Irish is Sexton. It's very nice.

It's been a tough week for Julie!

Its so popular/widely available, but I just find Jameson so uninteresting.

Not that I’m a professional but I feel like Irish whisky almost shouldn’t be used in cocktails/mixed drinks. It’s meant to be sipped and appreciated for what it is

You could see Julie steeling herself to taste the second drink.

If you want to try a fabulous Irish whiskey a little pricey for cocktails and if you don't like this one you might as well give up on Irish whiskey

Now I'll have to go find some of their other videos where acid phosphate makes an appearance. I don't recall poor Julie being that bothered by it before.

It'd make for better content 3-4 drinks in.

Writer's Tears is really tasty neat, or with just a bit of ice. I had the same skepticism initially about it being a blend rather than a single malt (especially for the price), but whoever is doing the mixing of barrels is damn fine at his job. I also quite like Tullamore Dew.

Have you ever heard of AiR Distillerie. They just announced an expansion into my hometown in Pennsylvania that should be coming in 2025.

It looks like the Jameson version sat in the ice a little longer than the other. Maybe that made a difference?

Acid phosphate, as found in Coca-Cola I think. Murder on the human tooth, but distinctive.

Fyi Jameson is pronounced Gemison as in diamond gems

For a side interest in Madrid there is a long standing tradition of bars making their own vermouth in their cellars. People go on pub crawls to taste the different ones. Being sweet I can only do about three of an evening. Others do more.

❤

Nothing can go wrong with Tullamore dew a great Irish whiskey works in most drinks
