Howdy doadly friendly distillers. Has anyone any idea about making a batch of Jameson type whiskey? Has anyone had any sucess in creating the very same or very close to flavour of this great Irish Whiskey. If anyone has, could you please put up the ingredients bill, so I can try and recreate one of my favourtie spirits. Ta muchly guys.

Generally Irish whiskies are blends. Finding the grain bill is another issue, and Irish whisky tends to have a fairly complex grain bill.

back in april I started 5 gal of mash using unhopped malt extract, finally distilled it at the end of aug. it tasted better than the Irish potcheen;I tried in Ireland. have some on oak cubes now. Still not quite like Jamisons, Bushmills,Lockes or Paddys. havent tried it in Irish coffee yet.
It has a very Sweet and long finnish. My wife is the only one who has tried it and liked it (unoaked) most everyone else prefers my mollasses/sugar washes. So my dear wife and I will enjoy it.

I made this early this year,and its much better than jameson.I just made up the grain bill,and its irish whiskey.It turned out really good.
Heres my post from april.

Hey all,here is my new try for a good malt whiskey.I ran the grain through the barley crusher today,and im going to mash it tomorow,
after i do my weekly UJSM run,and im going to use 2 gallons of corn backset to start the mash.I will be mashing in a cooler,and will leave it
till the next day. I will split this grain into 2 buckets,and ferment on the grain,useing w/d yeast w/ag.
10lbs of american 2 row pale ale malt
1 lb of american 6 row vienna malt
1 lb of wheat malt
1/2 lb of flaked barley
3 lbs of cleaned oats {horse feed}
1 1/2 cups of flaked rye {for a hint of rye}
9 lbs of corn sugar
I am shooting for a starting sg of 1080
I have never mixed it up this much for whiskey,but im trying to make a
complex flavor profile,for some good malt whiskey,so off we go into the great unknown! Ive done this kind of thing,making beer with good results,
and this aint much different. Tell me what you all think,good or bad cause
a 2nd openion is always a good thing.

This turned out a really smooth irish whiskey.I potstilled it 1 time.

Most Irish whiskey is typically triple distilled as well.

Well ya can forget the triple still LOL I don't even have a regualar pot still yet, just doing a bit of research. I have aquired a 10 gallon keg, so I am going to hopefully turn that into a potty. might make 2 attachments so I can do neutral as well, dunno yet, see how things pan out over the next couple of weeks time wise.

Cheers for the imput guys.

P.S. I also found a Jameson kit pack from a place called West Brew in Perth (Australia) and apparently that is fairly close with just mixing the ingredients, ferment and single run on a potty. Time will tell.

Trust me,If you make the above recipe,and make your cuts right,you will spit out the jamison after drinking it.Its much better.And with 1 run!!
