Jameson 15 Year Old Pure Pot Still

[dmcc]

Hello everyone,

Just wondering could anyone provide me with some info about this whiskey and what its potential value may be. I was on the Whisky Exchange Website and they don't have it in stock. Their description of the whiskey is as follows:

"A very rare Jameson's - this 15yo is pure potstill whiskey, with no grain whiskey content at all. Bottled for the Millennium, this Jameson, considered by many connoisseurs to be the finest produced, is now almost impossible to find."

Thanks in advance,

dmcc

Hi dmcc

This is the special reserve one, which came out before the Millennium one. The Millennium one has "Limited Edition" on the front of the bottle. Where does it mention "millennium" on this packaging? I can't find it anywhere on my ones.

Anyway, it's more valuable than the Millennium ones, because they seem to come up less often. I think it could sell for between €200 and €350.

Hi JohnM,

Unfortunately this bottle isn't mine so I can't find out if there is any mention of millennium on the packaging at this time. It must be a special reserve one as you mentioned. I will get in contact with the owner of the bottle and try and get more info. Below I've attached a picture of the case but it's not a very clear image. You might be able to make out if it's similar to your bottles or not. Thanks for your help and I'll post more info when I can.

Yeah, that's the same one. The Millennium one has a blurb inside the box. I don't think the special reserve one does. I'm not sure if it's the same whiskey inside, as I don't think I've tasted your one. But the Millennium one is great to drink and seems to be climbing a lot in value recently as the supply on the internet dries up. The back of the special reserve bottles says, "A very special Pure Pot Still Whiskey, Triple distilled and Aged for not less than Fifteen Years in specially selected American Bourbon Barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry Butts which enhance its Mellowness and Enrich its Character".

Cool thanks. I contacted the Whisky Exchange too asking about price and info and they just got back to me a minute ago with a value of £200 (about €242). Thanks again.

They'd be selling it for about £300, I presume. I think that's probably fair enough. Sometimes you can be lucky and get much more, but who knows. Good luck with it anyway. You could also contact the Celtic Whiskey Shop in Dublin for a price. Make sure you tell them it's the Special Reserve. www.celticwhiskeyshop.com

Bought one of Ally in the Celtic Whiskey Shop just before Christmas for 300 euro.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

I think i paid €300 for mine too,that was about 2 years ago.

I'd bet they sell it for much more than £300. I say at least £400 on their site.just look what they are looking for the Dungourney 1964.
It's still very hard too come across here so the price will only go one way.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

I seen one on eBay last week with a starting price of £200. I forgot to put it on a watch list to see how it went.
If anyone seen it could you post the result if you can.
I bought one at the Mealys auction earlier this month for €220+ commission.(€265~) I think it was good and i'm happy with it.

[JohnM]

It sold for £200

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

£200 including postage of £24.70 is around €275 so you still did okay Willie

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Thanks for that info. I'm happy with my purchase anyway. That was a reasonable price there too.
Is there much info about them? It seems the other one is common enough to find but this one is rare.

[alexbox]

Hi everybody, i found this forum in the search of more info about an unopened Jameson 15 Year Old Pure Pot Still Limited Edition i have.

In this thread i didn't found any info about exactly this bottle i have so far and even the pics posted so far about the package and bottle are a bit different to mine so i would appreciate any available info about my bottle if someone has some experience or knowledge. Of course, no secret here, most of interest is the value of the bottle i have as i was thinking on putting it on ebay as i'am not aware of a better source to sell it.


Here some pics i have made, as i can add only 3 here some more info, it writes on the bootle "Limited Edition, Bottle Number 06034

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Hi Alexbox,
That is the Jameson 15 pure pot still launched to commemorate the Millennium. It's a lovely collectors item. It is more common that the one posted earlier but still worth a bit.
I bough one in Mealy's for €130(inc commission) and this was good value I think. One was sold recently on whiskyauctions.com for €200 but you would have to pay commission and postage to sell it. I'd say it's worth between €120 and €150. You'd expect to pay €200 in a shop all the same.

Hi Good Whiskey Hunting,

thank you very much for your detailed answer and your time.

Just a general question as i'am not a native Englisch speaker. Does Irish Whiskey Society mean it's mostly for Irish people or does it mean it's only about Irish Whiskey? I'am asking this because i have a questions about a bottle of Jack Daniels which seems to be very rare, the only info i found so far is that only 200 bottles are made than back and i would like to post or open a thread about it, but if this forum is only about Irish Whiskey it might not be the right place and the last thing i would like to do is th violate any forum rules here and now. So again, any help is appreciated.

[DavidH]

The society is not just for Irish whiskey but most of the members are based in Ireland and don't have experience collecting American whiskeys. To put it another way, you are welcome to ask here but you would probably get a better answer on a bourbon forum.

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Hi Alex, you best bet would be

Best of luck with it.

I would also say a min of €150 for you Jameson 15yo SPS

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Hi again Alexbox, I though you were a native living abroad. Excellent English.
If you post a photo in a new tread there are quite a few American's and American Whiskey drinkers here that would surly help.
Whiskey seem very popular in Hungary. I met a few enthusiasts from there.

Whiskey seem very popular in Hungary.

Alex is in Bulgaria, but Irish whiskey is popular there too, especially Tullamore Dew.

I should pay more attention, thanks for the correction David.

Yes, i'am located in Bulgaria, that's right. And yes, Whiskey is very popular here. I personally would say that Jack Daniels is the #1 here in Bulgaria, followed by Jameson, than mostly Tullamore Dew. But now after you wrote about Tullamore Dew i remember that i twice drunk from some kind of ceramic bottle and it had a bit of taste of honey and was very good and interesting taste than back. I have to find again such Tullamore Dew

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Hi Alex, I think the regular Tullamore due is the same as the one in the ceramic crock. There was a 10 year old version too as far as i know. It makes a great collectors item, I think I paid €35 for the one i have at home.

Here's a link to a Jameson 15 year old PPS for sale on eBay.

Alex, Bulgaria was one of the few countries to get Tullamore Dew Black 43, I think. The society tried all of the current Dews at a tasting last year and the Black was our favourite. So try that one, if you can
