First released in South Africa last year other batches were due to be released in other markets. So looks like the US and the UK have got theirs.

Sounds like it got a bit of a branding upgrade.

Nice Job

Looks the biz Matt, the date of 30th of Oct 2011 is on the box (10-30-2011). I wonder are these the ones going on the US EBay as I've seen quite a few at what I thought were very high asking prices but no proper descriptions or pictures.

I'm onto my 2nd bottle of this here in New York. It's really nice. Tastes like it has a much higher pot still content than the NAS.

I just checked Tesco's webpage to see if they still had a promotion for Bush original Blackbush Powers and Jameson. They had the Jameson select reserve- Black Barrel advertised on the site for €34.95. I was there yesterday but didn't notice. Has anyone seen it here(in Ireland) yet?

[TheWhiskeyBro]

Only north of the border!

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

I can't understand why they advertise it in euros if they don't intend to sell it here. The product code number is the same as the 1ltr regular Jameson according to staff.
I can still hope they sell it here.

Hey Liam, was that supermarket part of a chain? i.e. Londis, SuperValue etc. If so it could be available nationwide through that chain. Have not seen it Locally yet and that price is not bad.

[Liam Murray]

Yo! IWC? Supervalu Carrigaline. Apparently the local rep is quare hot and you will note that we are quite near the distillery here. Local back scratching, Mayhaps? very interesting though. Liam.

[TheWhiskeyBro]

Hi Liam,

Was it Distillery or Select reserve small batch you saw?

Just wondering, as they was similar confusion between Select Reserve & Black Barrel for a short while?

[Liam Murray]

Distillery Select Reserve and also refers to the abv for Sth Africa as 43percent. Although this release is 40percent.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

How are you keeping Liam.
I hope their all treating you well in the rebel county.
I'll be into haunt my local supervalu now that I see your post.
That was similar to the price that tesco advertised on their site but did not have.

[Liam Murray]

Hello Willy boy. I'm fine, though getting harder to make time for Dublin these days . don't forget I left a lot of sample bottles in The Wine Centre Kilkenny, so do drop in to young Martin for some gargling. this invite applies to all members by the way. If anyone is in Corkdrop In to me at O'Donovans Douglas Village. BCNU Liamo.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

I'm organizing a road trip in the near future.

See you soon.
