The Old Fashioned Story...
The Old Fashioned is more than a drink... It's an institution. With roots stretching back to the early 19th century, its longevity is a testament to both its simplicity and the premium quality of the spirits that lend it life.
Crafted to showcase the soul of your chosen whiskey, each Old Fashioned promises a timeless blend of flavors, a feat only achievable through understanding and respect for the drink's history.
Jameson, a stalwart in the world of Irish whiskey, brings a velvety smoothness and a hint of sweetness that sings in your glass. But the magic lies not just in the whiskey, but in the measured alchemy brought to it by the Old Fashioned's formula.
Jameson's Legacy In The Old Fashioned
Irish whiskey is enjoying a renaissance in the world of mixology, and Jameson is at the forefront. With over two centuries of fine whiskey-making, Jameson has continually upheld its legacy of quality and tradition. From the fields of barley to the charred barrels that give the whiskey its final flourish, each step is a nod to a heritage that values craftsmanship.
The Jameson Old Fashioned encapsulates this spirit, bringing together the finest in Irish whiskey with a classic recipe that has stood the test of time. It's a drink that tells the story of a whiskey that has not only aged to perfection but has also adapted, evolved, and refused to be confined by tradition.
Cocktails As A Craft
Mixology is more than just a hobby... It’s a craft. It demands patience, attention to detail, and a respect for the ingredients that combine to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Whether you're an old hand at stirring and shaking or a newcomer eager to learn the ropes, the Jameson Old Fashioned invites you to be a part of its rich story.
The Ritual of the Old Fashioned
Making an Old Fashioned is a ritual — One that calls for meticulousness and mindfulness. It's a chance to slow down and appreciate the process as much as the product. The clinking of ice, the subtle hiss of soda, the aromatic burst of citrus — The Old Fashioned is an experience from start to finish.
Crafting a Jameson Old Fashioned is more than simply mixing a drink... It's about tradition, character, and depth of flavor. It's a rendezvous with history and innovation, all in the comfort of your home. With every sip, you're not just tasting a cocktail... You're tasting a legacy, which makes the Jameson Old Fashioned a worthy endeavor for any aficionado.
Let's review some simple tips to ensure your Jameson Old Fashioned is perfect every time...
The result is a drink that is as beautiful to behold as it is to taste — robust, yet smooth and balanced, and exuding the kind of warmth that can only come from a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
-
The pour isn't just about transferring liquid from one vessel to another... It's about infusing the drink with care and intent. When adding Jameson to your Old Fashioned, be mindful of the pace — a slow and steady pour is the rhythm you're aiming for.
This deliberate ritual serves as a prelude to the enjoyment that follows and sets the tone for a drink that is anything but ordinary.
-
The necessity of ice in an Old Fashioned is non-negotiable. However, the type and quality of ice you use can significantly impact the drink.
A large ice cube, which melts slowly, is preferred as it chills the drink without overly diluting it. Every measure counts in mixology, and the right ice cube maintains the balance of the Old Fashioned throughout the drinking experience.
-
The garnish of an Old Fashioned is akin to the punchline of a well-told story — And it seals the deal.
An orange twist can do more than just add visual flair... It imparts a citric brightness to the drink that harmonizes with the whiskey and draws out its complexity. The act of twisting the orange peel as you garnish is a final salute to the drink, releasing the oils and infusing the air about it with the promise of the taste it carries within.
-
To truly elevate your Old Fashioned game, consider these additional touches...
• Experiment with different bitters, such as angostura bitters or orange bitters, to find your preferred flavor profile
• Upgrade to Jameson Black Barrel Select Reserve for a bolder kick
• Try a specialty sugar, like demerara or muscovado, for added richness
• Use a large sphere ice mold for a statement piece of ice that melts more slowly
By paying attention to these details, you can curate an Old Fashioned signature experience that is uniquely yours... And one that you (and your guests) will want to savor over and over again.
The Old Fashioned... A Classic Beauty
It's a tale as old as time — the Old Fashioned, a drink beloved by many and a staple in any whiskey lover's repertoire. With Jameson as its muse, this classic cocktail continues to capture the essence of tradition and innovation.
Cheers to the craft, to the ritual, and to the perfect Jameson Old Fashioned... ✨😎✨
