- We're here to celebrate Martin's birthday.
- It's true, it's my birthday,
and you're wearing a tie.
- Yes.
- Couldn't be any better.
We're having whiskey, I'm wearing a bolo.
It's gonna be a 10 out of 10 day.
(dramatic music)
- Yay! - Nerveracking.
- Why?
- 'Cause I'm drinking whiskey with you.
- But do you like whiskey?
- I mean, sure.
- Then we're gonna have a great time!
- But you know what,
I've only ever tried the one type of Jameson.
I don't even know what different types there are.
- This is gonna be interesting.
- It's gonna be a great day.
- Yep.
- Less yapping, more trying.
(dramatic music)
- This is your normal, your average, your classic.
- Regular Jameson.
- Oh, boy!
- Irish born and bred.
- Do you wanna say anything about your old friend?
- It's just good to see him.
- John Jameson.
- John Jameson Jingleheimer Schmidt.
- I want pictures of Spider-Man, dammit!
- It's nice, isn't it?
- What the fuck is wrong with me?
I didn't have a reaction there.
- Do you know what, it doesn't hurt as much
when you just do it like that.
- It's lovely, isn't it?
- It's a classic.
- It's nice.
- That's actually grand.
I could totally drink that just straight.
It has a similar feeling to eating spice.
- Yes.
- Whiskey for me, just reminds me
of the olden days when it was just like
absolutely nothing to do in Ireland,
why not get the old whiskey out?
- It's a great all arounder, you know?
- Yeah.
- You don't feel too stuck up,
you just feel perfect.
(Damon laughs)
- It's like it fixes something in you.
(Martin laughs)
- I've even been in whiskey shoots in here before,
and I've been like, oh, I can't drink it straight.
I don't know what's happening, but I'm into that.
- Isn't it beautiful?
- The one thing I don't like about whiskey
is that it makes my face go red.
It flushes me, you know?
- Oh, yeah.
- You get the big whiskey face that kicks in.
- I just remember when everyone else was gone,
Jameson was still there.
- Yeah.
- That may be the saddest thing
that's ever been said on this channel.
- Yeah.
(both laughing)
- I think whiskey's better room temperature.
It's just as is, beautiful.
- It's so nice. - This is,
you know, gal on the go.
She doesn't have access to a fridge.
Just whip it out of the handbag, you know what I mean?
(dramatic music)
Oh, Stout Edition.
This is one of my favorites.
This is so good!
Oh, it's delicious.
- Whiskey finished in craft beer barrels.
Craft beer barrels?
- Okay, so whiskey absorbs the flavor
of the barrel that it's put into.
These are barrels that have been used for craft beer
and have enriched with that flavor.
- Like Guinness. - Guinness?
Oh, okay.
- So it has this beautiful, beautiful flavor to it.
- Isn't it mad how you can take a drink
and then just leave it to age in a barrel
and the flavor goes into it?
- Imagine I was trapped in a barrel for a while.
What had happened to me-
- Like if you were trapped in a stout barrel,
then you'd be a stout man.
- I'm gonna end up in sunglasses by the end of this video.
- How about we sip and you tell me what you think?
- Oh my god, that is so smooth and smoky.
- That's smoother.
- It is.
There's a difference in it,
there is a difference.
- It's like a golden syrupy kind of-
- It doesn't have the fumes.
- Yeah.
- That's very smooth. - Wow.
- You don't think so?
- Yeah, no, completely.
I said wow.
I'm in awe.
- This is bananas, 'cause I was in here before giving out
and I was saying, dammit, you're full of shit,
talking about flavors in whiskey,
it just tastes like fire. - I know.
I know, he is full of shit.
- Well, that's true.
But I can actually get a smokiness off that.
- That's way nicer.
- It is.
Although I kind of like the kick.
- No, I don't like the kick.
This would be the way I'd be going.
- I'd love to watch "The X Files" while drinking this.
Just sit there, looking at Mulder and Scully
solving some mysteries
and then maybe I can solve the mystery of why I'm alone.
- Am I a whiskey convert?
Am I gonna be in here in a "Men In Black" suit
with Martin one of these days?
Oh my god. - Music to my ears.
- I would regularly class the classic Jameson as an eight.
- Okay, okay, stop right there.
- No, like in terms of satisfaction.
- What?
Standard Jameson is a 10 out of 10.
- No.
- Damon, I like you, right now I don't respect you.
- Why?
Because I'm saying it's really good
but there has to be better?
- Yeah.
And how much is this?
It's a 10 out of 10.
- So they're all across the board, 10 out of 10.
- We don't know that yet.
- 10s across the board.
- I'm allowing, because I believe in Jameson so much
for them to improve on perfection.
- See, it's perfection, see, he admitted it, 10 out of 10.
Let's move on, cut the video there.
(dramatic music)
- Crested.
- Yo, what the heck does crested mean?
- There's a crest on the bottle.
- [Sean] What is Jameson Crested then?
- I don't know, ask the whiskey expert.
- I never claimed to be an expert, just a fan.
I've actually got Jameson's OnlyFans account.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
The stuff they can't share.
- "Celebrating the first drops bottled in Bow Street."
Which is now not their distillery,
it's not where they make the whiskey,
but now they've turned it into a museum,
it's where they used to make it.
- "In 1963, we took control of the whole process,
"pressed it as a tribute to the first dropped bottle by us
"and combined vivid cherry notes
"with hearty pot still spices."
- That is lovely.
- Isn't it amazing?
- Yeah, real nice.
- I just get so excited.
- Oh, yeah, I'm on bored with this one.
- It's lovely.
- Little cherry note.
- A little bit.
- It's like kissing the most beautiful woman
you've ever seen.
- Oh, Dorothy.
- She can bring me over that rainbow
and I'd click my heels together
and there'd be no place like her home.
- Oh.
- You know the cartoon with the love heart eyes?
That's me now.
I'm at that stage.
- No, I get that all the time.
They're like you look at your coal contributor
like you're in love with him.
And I'm like, well yeah, I am.
- That too.
- I think this one's going well here.
- It is, it's very good.
I'm surprised.
I wasn't expecting too much from a crested drink.
- This is probably one of the smoothest ones.
Usually whiskey gets me going, (snapping),
this is getting me going, mm.
- Velvety. - Yeah.
- A Velour track suit of a whiskey.
- Yeah.
- Easy to put on, sexy to take off.
- I actually genuinely didn't know this existed.
And this is why I really enjoy Try shoots,
'cause you guys do the fucking homework.
- Definitely.
- If I was a pirate,
that would be favorite, definitely.
And you look more like a pirate than I do.
- And this is my favorite,
so you might be on to something.
- There you go.
- It feels fancier.
You feel like you could get away
with wearing sunglasses indoors while drinking this.
- I would say...
And I think I'm the first person to say this,
this is a 10 out of 10.
- I don't like it when they steal my lines.
Don't like it, that's even worse.
(dramatic music)
Oh, you.
Come on.
- There you go, pal, happy birthday.
- Black Barrel!
Oh, I'm getting rowdy now.
- Yes!
- "A tribute to the legacy of charring barrels
"before filling them."
- Oh, burning them.
- Oh, so that's why it's black,
'cause they burned it.
- I like it.
Would you burn your barrels before you drink the beer?
- "Black Barrel features double-charred bourbon barrels
"that deliver unique spiciness,
"vanilla sweetness and knotty notes."
My god, I fucking love vanilla, that's so exciting.
- Hey, I don't know where I'd rather be right now.
Company, there's no one I'd rather be with.
You know, I wish I was drinking more on YouTube.
- Oh!
- Smells smoky.
- Smokey and the Bandits.
- Why not travel charred?
- 'Cause we're not left in a barrel.
(both laughing)
- Smells so sweet.
- Oh my god, it does. - Doesn't it?
- It's already a 10 out of 10.
You're gonna try it now
and you're gonna go, wow, 10 out of 10.
- Okay.
- The sting is back, baby.
- That's got extra fumes in it.
- Oh, wow.
Okay, wow.
I mean, wow. (laughs)
- I'm so happy.
- It makes you warm as well.
- Yeah.
- Compared to anything else,
it doesn't feel like you're drinking an alcohol,
it feels like you're treating yourself.
- To me that was just like poetry.
- It's like they took the Stout Edition
and they took all the fumes out of it
and they put them into this one.
- Oh, you're right,
'cause that one was so smooth,
they didn't lack in this one.
- It's not harsh, it does have a bit of smokiness,
but it's like lovely.
- Is it just me or there's just like an atmosphere
of love in the room today?
(Damon laughs)
- We wanted to welcome you into this new year of your life
in celebration.
- Yeah.
- It's like the original
but with a double barrel charred grill.
- Same percentage, but my god, does it taste stronger.
- I've never tried it before,
but it tastes just how I imagined it would,
and it's very bourbon-esque, which is lovely.
- [Sean] What's it getting, guys?
- Gonna give it the 11, pal.
- And because we can't mathematically do that,
it's reduced to a 10 out of 10.
- I accept that completely.
- But it's still decent though.
Jameson is fantastic,
like the Jameson flavor is there.
- It's like it's barreled in a coal mine.
That's where it's getting it's kind of burn-y taste from.
- I feel like we're going on such a journey here, Clisare,
this is beautiful, right?
You see, we're starting with Irish whiskey
and now they're giving you...
Black Barrel is basically like Jameson
but like bourbon vibes,
and you're trying that, and you're going,
oh my god, that tastes great.
This is like your gateway into bourbon,
so now there's a whole pasture of bourbon
waiting for you.
- Why does the video have to end, Sean?
- Can't we just do this whole thing again from the top?
- Yeah, if we swap seats, can we be the other person?
- Yeah, if I pretend to be Martin
and he pretends to be me, can we do it again?
- Love Jameson.
- They were actually class.
- Jameson has to be one of the best whiskeys out there.
- Oh, by right now after this whole discussion, yes.
- Have I unlocked a new level of Irish life or something?
I have no idea what happened,
but that was unbelievable.
Like, I was in here drinking straight bourbon,
straight whiskey, just going (groans),
and for some reason tonight I was like,
actually, I'm tasting these.
And once you taste them, that's it, you're gone.
They taste lovely, what is happening?
I don't understand, I love whiskey now.
- [Sean] Well, Martin, happy birthday
from The TRY Channel.
- Well, thanks, I appreciate it.
I know this was completely coincidental.
There was no actual planning in this.
You know, the fact that you're pretending
like you planned this out, I appreciate it.
It almost feels like I have friends.
(Damon and Martin laughing)
- And that is the joy of Jameson whiskey.
- Well, if you would like to do me a favor
on my birthday, nothing would make me happier
than if you hit the bell, subscribe to the channel,
and you left a comment.
