![]() I like to travel around the world and discover local brands of liquor. Hi there, I am James Hart, an ex food and liquor photographer, who has a keen passion for different kinds of wines and liquors. ![]() That is, unless the world becomes obsessed over some other type of hard alcohol. That being said, in a few years, you might get lucky and be able to enjoy the taste of a competing Irish Whiskey for a lower price than today, but Jameson and other established brands, like Kilbeggan and Knappogue will probably maintain their high prices and go up even more. Between 20 alone, Jameson’s sales rose 12%. It seems that no matter what happens, their popularity just keeps rising. Nevertheless, Jameson’s reputation will probably keep the price relatively high. Whatever the case may be, it appears it won’t be a long-term problem, as a large number of new Irish distilleries have started up recently to try to meet the increased demand. Some investors are even asking if it might be better to just keep it and sell it for a profit in the next few years. In fact, this has already happened this year, with Jameson’s own 18 Year Old price having reportedly risen by over $70.00 from last year. In short, since the prices for Irish Whiskey are so similar across brands, you’ll be able to make a decision solely on taste without being distracted by fancy discounted brands.Īs stated before, some experts claim that there will be an Irish Whiskey shortage in the near future as the relatively small natural production is going to have to meet rising demand. Or you could try Knappogue Castle 12 Year Old, which is of a similar quality to Jameson 12 Year, but it also costs just about the same at around $60.00 a bottle. You could go for Kilbeggan, which is also a delicious product and costs about $24 per 750 ml bottle. Add to that the fact that the industry is small (there are only 18 makers of Irish Whiskey, all from Ireland, and there were far fewer before), and you have a pretty stable price. Unfortunately for Irish Whiskey lovers on a budget, the market for these products is increasing and the production may not be able to keep up comfortably with the demand in upcoming years. What are Some Alternatives in the Same Price Range? Even so, you can drink without any hesitation, since the spirit has a superior smoothness that can be enjoyed neat. Every year the stock becomes more and more limited and the price increases to reflect.Īnd yes, the proof is correct - the rarest vintage offers a stronger alcoholic kick than any of the other drinks sold by the company. There is also a limited amount that is bottled so it is in fact super rare. For the most part, the whiskeys used in the creation of these bottles even surpass the 18 Year Limited Reserve and some may have been left in the oak casks for 20 years. The reason for this higher expense is that the rarest vintage reserve is actually a blend of different aged offerings from the company. You may have noticed that Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve is the most expensive bottle on this list, costing more than many other high-end spirits. It is the smooth and smoky taste they’re attracted to, which the company attributes to its more involved distillation and ageing process. The spirit already sells for more than your typical vodka or brandy and, considering this fact, it’s still massively popular. What’s more, more and more celebrities are coming out publicly as fans of the drink, which is only sure to increase its popularity.Īdd all of this together and you can expect that the price of whiskey will probably be going up in the near future.įans of the brand, however, won’t be bothered by higher prices. The company reportedly ages its stocks for at least four years before releasing them out into the world. And Jameson isn’t just distilled and rushed out the door like some other drinks. This popularity is a big reason that there is a predicted shortage of the spirit in the coming years as more distilleries start to make stocks to meet the demand. Although it’s all made in Ireland, it’s sold the world over, with most of its production going to other countries. ![]() Not only is whiskey the fastest growing spirit, growing at an average of 10% per year, but Jameson by far the biggest provider of the drink. Jameson Whiskey is an Irish spirit that has survived prohibitions and wars throughout centuries in order to get to its current position.
