Help us celebrate with the world’s best-selling Irish Whiskey and Jameson Irish Whiskey. This triple-distilled, blended and aged Irish Whiskey started in Dublin and has been beloved by many for over two centuries.

Each bottle of Jameson is backed by a rich family legacy and generations of hard work. In 1780 John Jameson established a distinct way of making Irish Whiskey at his Bow Street Distillery. The Jameson name and business carried on, with several of his descendants helping to grow the company over the years.

In 1972, production of Jameson Whiskey moved from Bow Street to Midleton, County Cork, however, the old Jameson distillery reopened as a visitor center in 1997. Now, both locations welcome thousands of visitors every year and in 2018, Jameson was awarded the World’s Leading Distillery Tour.

National Irish Coffee Day is the perfect time to toast to this iconic brand. Check out the classic recipe below and !

1⅙ Parts Jameson Original
2 Parts Lightly Whipped Cream
⅓ Parts Demerara Sugar Syrup
3 Parts Espresso
Grated Nutmeg

Add the Jameson, Demerara syrup and coffee to a pre heated tempered glass. Top with lightly whipped cream. Garnish with grated nutmeg.

A few years after arriving in America, Jörg Rupf was inspired by the spectacular quality of California fruit leading him to create St. George Spirits in 1982. St. George Spirits uses old-world distilling techniques to create modern, award-winning spirits and is considered a pioneer in the craft distillery movement.

St. George is known as America’s original artisan distillery, and as the movement has grown, so has the distillery, which now produces several variations of gin, vodka, whiskey, brandy and more. Each spirit is crafted intentionally to always bring something new to the distilled spirits industry.

St. George’s Master Distiller Lance Winters is praised for expertly blending his creative artistry with the science of distilling and has guided the launch of several of St. George’s most iconic spirits. Head Distiller and Blender Dave Smith also lends his expertise, leading the brand's world-class whiskey program and continuing to inspire the next generation of distillers.

Located in Almeda, CA, St. George Distillery occupies a 65,000-square-foot airplane hangar in an area now known as Spirits Alley. Spirits enthusiasts can check out the visitor center for tasting flights or taste the spirits at home in this NOLA Nog recipe courtesy of Brianna Danner:

1 part St. George NOLA Coffee Liqueur
1 part Eggnog
Cocoa Powder
Garnish: cinnamon stick

Mix NOLA Coffee Liqueur and eggnog in a mug or glass, stir with cinnamon stick and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
