Does anyone believe there's a chance of IDL improving the contents of the bottle rather than the packaging?

Hey Luke, it is a 95/100 rated whiskey ... Surely they can't do much more with it

I must admit that I love what they have done with it ... Makes me want to buy a few.

Hi All,
I am just trying to get some more information on the Jameson St.Patrick`s Day bottling 2011.
It contains the standard Jameson Nas Whiskey.
Ther is a great Print on the front of the bottle.
A Irish artist (Paul Daly) did a great work in it.The design was inspired by the legendary Celtic illustrations in the book of Kells.(see the book at Trinity College Dublin)
Ther must be a 1L bottle and a 0.7L bottle. I have a 1L bottle,ther is a 0.7L bottle for sale at Waitrose.com
Any more information on this bottling?

you can check the Book of Kells at home if you have a copy of the facsimile

there is 0.7 and 1L bottles, but i love to know how many bottles they had in total

Picked up a few bottles in smithfield on Saturday.

Are they the same as last years?

Are they the same as last years?

Yes, same as last years. Paul Dalys design. 25euros

That's fair enough. I'll pick up a bottle before it's too late and I have to pay auctions prices.
Cheers.

Kaixo Chico's,
I for one am very impressed with the St Pats edition, i loved embossed bottles and the design appeals to the youth who dont want to take the amber nectar as seriously as we do ,,,it also makes a nice addition to my collection..

Apparently it didn't get a wide distribution last year but there turned out to be lots of demand. So they went with the same design this year and distributed it more thoroughly. There will be a different design next year.

Is it the same as the Jameson NAS we get on the supermarket shelf?

Will this be the beginning of a new trend similar to Jack Daniels where there was a series called Scenes from Lynchburg or something where there was various commemorative bottles.
