This set includes the Jawbox Classic Dry Gin from Northern Ireland and a matching ceramic mug, which is best filled with gin and ginger ale.details In Belfast, not only the ginger ale was invented, but also the box-shaped, deep sink nicknamed "Jawbox", which soon graced the home kitchens of the rich and poor. In the Belfast sink not only the kitchen utensils were cleaned, but also clothes, utensils and certain body parts of the entire family. It was so often in use that here the general gossip and gossip of the house was held. Gerry White, the developer of the Jawbox Classic Dry Gin, was so enthusiastic about it that he named his brand after the sink - a little in the hope that the gatherings of the gin drinkers would be equally talkative. At the Echinville Distillery in Northern Ireland, Jawbox Gin is made by combining triple-distilled barley alcohol with eleven botanicals, whose aromas pass to the liquid in two different ways. On the list of ingredients are juniper berries, black mountain heather, coriander seeds, cassia, angelica root, orris root, kubeben pepper, lemon zest, cardamom, liquorice root and grains of paradise. The Jawbox Gin was declared with pride as a "single estate" gin, as the barley and water come from their own farm, which is also home to the distillery. The Botanicals, however, are not so regionally considered, because apart from the mountain heather many of the Aromengeber come from outside. Also included in this set is a vintage-style ceramic mug that is ideal for a variety of gin cocktails as well as coffee and tea.

The Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blend of "Pot Still Whiskey" and "Grain Whiskey" and is distilled three times. He spends the maturing time in sherry and bourbon barrels.John Jameson, a native of Scotland, gave up his rewarding civil service job and sailed to Ireland to found his distillery in 1780 on Dublin's famous Bow Street in 1780 - as always, of course, with the goal of making the world's most outstanding whiskey. Did he succeed? The numbers speak for themselves at least: Jameson whiskey is one of the world's best-selling and internationally fastest-growing Irish whiskey brand. The original is a triple-distilled blend of Pot Still Whiskey (= made from malted and unmalted barley) and Grain Whiskey (= made from any grain mash and baked in coffee stills). The special procedure and maturation in sherry and bourbon casks give it a very mild taste with piquant-spicy, nutty and vanilla notes and a hint of sherry.Since 1971, the distillery on Bow Street has continued as an information center and show distillery, while production has been relocated to southern Midleton. Every day there meet the "masters" of whiskey production: These include Cooper Master Buckley, distiller nation, whiskey master Quinn (who is responsible for the scientifically proven manufacturing methods), maturing master O'Gorman and blending champion Leighton. Jameson whiskeys are not smoky unlike Scottish whiskeys - this is because the drying of the malted barley takes place in closed kilns.

Matured in double burned barrels for an even more intense taste. Black Barrel is a triple distilled blend that combines full-bodied pot still and grain whiskeys and comes from storage in sherry and bourbon barrels. What makes him special? He is the only whiskey in our range, whose bourbon barrels were burned out twice. It is an elaborate process, but we find that every drop is worth the effort.Aroma: a colorful barrel of flavors: butter caramel and creamy toffee confectionery, thanks to Grain Whiskey, the peppery nuances of pot still whiskey and juicy notes of ripe nectarines, apricots and apples that testify to the influence of sherry casks.Taste: Grain Whiskey, matured in vigorously burnt-out bourbon barrels, produces more pronounced spice nuances, nutty notes and sweet vanilla, while the sherry-cased Pot Still Whiskey stirs it up with fruity notes.Reverberation: A reverberation that more fully expresses all the components of Jameson Original. Soft and mild with an intense, full-bodied finish.
