How to distinguish a real jamison from a fake. How to distinguish a fake whiskey Jameson (Jameson) from the original. Whiskey label and other ways to identify fake.

One of the most popular whiskeys is Jameson, made in Ireland. Millions of Jameson bottles are produced and shipped to dozens of countries. The affordable price of a 12-year-old whiskey, a wonderful soft taste and impeccable aroma are the reasons for the high demand for this drink. For fans of easy money, this causes the temptation to fake whiskey and get the maximum profit. At the same time, the attackers do not care about the health of customers, nor about the reputation of the Jameson brand. Most often fake inexpensive varieties Jamison.

Jameson has a clean and mild flavor dominated by fruity notes. The rich aroma with nuances of sherry and nuts is complemented by the original golden-green color that shimmers in the glass. This Irish whiskey has an original production technology: the grains are dried in closed ovens, copper vats of the original form are installed for distillation.

Features of the original bottle

To try the taste of real Jamison, you need to check a number of bottle features when buying. This will most likely determine whether you are holding the original. Manufacturers of counterfeit goods do not delve into the details when releasing containers, hoping that the buyer will not pay due attention to studying a bottle of their favorite whiskey.

Real Jameson whiskey is twisted with a metal lid, in a fake cork is covered with a plastic film. The original does not have a dispenser, which is found in some manufacturers of counterfeit products. The counterfeit cork has a circular inscription on top - JONH JENNESON & SAN LIMITED. What does it have to do with Jameson whiskey is not clear. In the center of the circle of the inscription are II&S symbols, which are vaguely reminiscent of the branded JJ&S, which are on the cork of an Irish manufacturer. The surname Jameson, written in words, should be repeated three times along the perimeter of the cork.

A bottle of Jameson whiskey is made of dark green glass and has a strict cylindrical shape. Counterfeit bottles are round, the neck is barrel-shaped - there are a lot of such containers on the glass industry market; its release does not increase costs.

The real Jameson has a bottle with embossed inscriptions that are not found on a fake. This helps to distinguish the original whiskey from counterfeit. On the front of the bottle under the label is the inscription Product of Ireland, which is accompanied by two convex figures of people with barrels. Under the inscription, at the very bottom there is a characteristic point relief, absent from the fake.

At the back of the Jameson bottle over the counter label, this whiskey has the inscription Since 1870. It is made very clearly and efficiently, the font is oblique, written. A fake often has this inscription, but it has an untidy appearance and is poorly read. Under the label, the real Jameson has another inscription - John Jameson & son. It is made clearly, the font is written, oblique. This inscription is found in a fake, but it is made indistinctly, carelessly, due to unproven technology.

On the front of the bottle or under the counter label is the L-code and the date of bottling of Jameson whiskey. The code is applied by engraving, contains individual information that is duplicated on the label on the back. The inscriptions must match exactly, this is an important criterion for the identity of Jameson and allows you to distinguish counterfeit from quality products with high reliability. At the bottom, a bottle of whiskey has well-read embossed inscriptions and an even trace from the press machine.

Whiskey label and other ways to identify fake.

Jameson whiskey has a catchy label that counterfeiters have learned to fake well. In most cases, it is completely identical to the company label, but due to the use of poor printing, the labels are erased during transportation. The company label looks flawless, the copy has a sloppy appearance, faded colors and fuzzy labels.

A good way to control the quality of Jameson whiskey is to shake the drink. Characteristic corporate identity: large bubbles appear, they are stable and slowly dissolve due to the concentration of oily substances in the whiskey. Precipitation is not allowed in any quantity - Jameson whiskey is always transparent, with a characteristic golden green color.

It is recommended to buy Jameson whiskey in large shopping centers and specialized stores that care about the quality of the products offered. Be sure to have an excise stamp that must be neatly applied to the neck. It is worth paying attention to the cost - discounts of more than 25% are not acceptable for Jameson whiskey, these products are sold well at the price recommended by the manufacturer.

One of the most famous and best-selling types of whiskey is produced in the south of Ireland, in the county of Cork, in the vicinity of Middleton.

The legendary drink has been produced for more than two centuries. During this time, the enterprise from a tiny factory with a single distillation cube has grown to a large-scale production, which is part of the French holding Pernod Ricard.

Jameson Enterprise History

The company was founded in 1780 by the entrepreneurial Irishman John Jameson, who, evaluating the prospects of the industry, decided to try his hand at a new field. The idea succeeded, and over the course of several decades, the plant, named after the owner of Jameson, quickly increased its production volumes. The success of the enterprise was facilitated by several factors:

1. The active development of the economy of Ireland and the rise in popularity of whiskey, which occurred just at the end of the XVIII / beginning of the XIX centuries.
2. The owner of the company has some experience. John Jameson was not exactly a “green” newcomer to the malt industry. His wife was the daughter of one of the largest Scottish producers of whiskey, and the owner of the Dublin factory had many useful connections and skills in doing this kind of business.
3. Successful innovation. The founder of the enterprise began work with the construction of a giant distillation cube at that time and for several years actively expanded production.
4. State support for large producers of whiskey. The excise act, issued in Ireland in 1823, greatly improved the position of legal enterprises producing a strong drink from malt.

Having increased the capacity of the distillery and having gained a strong position among local manufacturers, John Jameson died, passing the reins of the company to his son. At that time, the company was the second most important among the Irish factories producing whiskey.

By the middle of the XIX century, the demand for a strong drink reached a peak, and for some time exceeded the supply. However, already in the 90s there was a decline due to the appearance on the market of a cheaper blended version of whiskey.

Jameson chose to maintain tradition and continued to produce a single malt drink, which led to a protracted crisis. All this time, the company maintained the continuity of generations, remained a family affair and was guided by the motto “Sine Metu” (“Without Fear”). The life-affirming inscription can still be seen on the product label next to the coat of arms.

The next modernization improved the situation for a while, but did not solve the problem. Having hardly survived the introduction of Prohibition in the United States, civil and world war, the company was forced to first merge with Irish manufacturers in Irish Distillers Ltd, and then join the French giant of the alcohol industry Pernod Ricard.

Recent changes have benefited the company: it has again entered the list of best-selling brands.

Today, the company produces blended whiskey, and the number of annual sales has long surpassed the millionth milestone.

In 2006, sales amounted to more than 2 million boxes, in 2013 - about 5 million, and by the end of the 2010s exceeded this figure. It all started with a small distillery on one of Dublin's streets.

Features of the manufacture of whiskey Jameson

The Jameson whiskey line includes drinks of various styles and aging. Common to all product categories are a beautiful golden hue and a special production technology, created back in the days of John Jameson Sr. and supplemented in subsequent years. It includes:

1. Using high-quality local raw materials: barley is grown in the fields near Middleton, water is taken from the Dangurni River, which flows directly through the distillery. Only corn is purchased from a French farmer.
2. Drying grain in special ovens and three-stage wort distillation. Repeated distillation gives the drink softness and delicate taste, and closed drying eliminates the peat flavor characteristic of Scotch whiskey.
3. Long aging in oak barrels, some of which were already in use. To obtain subtle accents of a bouquet, storage containers are purchased from producers of American bourbon and strong Spanish wines. Such barrels give drinks light woody, vanilla notes and a sweet sherry flavor.
4. Strict control at all stages of production: from grain collection to bottling.
5. Inclusion in blends exclusively of alcohols obtained at its own distillery.

The main characteristics of the elite whiskey Jameson and its history

The most famous scotch tape released in Ireland is Jameson. It has a rather delicate flavor, so it must be consumed in its pure form and not diluted with anything.

Barcode Check

ATTENTION! The correct barcode does not yet give a 100% guarantee of the originality of the goods. Nevertheless, an incorrect barcode is a clear sign of a fake.

The Jameson brand has a rather interesting background. To date, this type of adhesive tape is an example for many manufacturers, as it includes crystal clear water and barley of the highest grade.

The founder of the brand is John Jameson, a Scot by birth.

In 1780, production began on the production of adhesive tape with his name, but he did not enjoy special popularity, as he had an unusual aftertaste. Each year, the production recipe changed and improved, and by 1860, whiskey became soft and gained immense popularity among connoisseurs. This year is the year of the pinnacle of fame.

Jameson began to be sold worldwide and became a huge success.

But, after Ireland gained independence, and as a result, a difficult economic situation, sales of this alcoholic beverage declined, and all tape production closed.

This situation lasted until the 80s of the twentieth century. In such a difficult time for the country, only three alcoholic beverage companies survived: John Jameson, Cork Distillers Company and John Power. So that the release of this alcohol did not stop completely, it was decided to combine 3 plants. Then the factory was “born” Irish Distillers Ltd  and it was with her that the new life of the Jameson trademark began, which to this day remains the largest factory for the production of high-quality adhesive tape around the world.

Along with an increase in the consumption of good, high-quality imported alcohol, the quantity of counterfeit products is also growing. We’ll make a reservation right away
as a rule, the fake does not contain any poison, on the contrary, there is a completely normal alcoholic beverage, but still very different in taste
and recipe from the present.

When using fake, you need to be afraid, mainly, of allergic reactions, which can be triggered by various impurities
and chemical additives. However, to date, we do not know a single case of poisoning with such alcohol.

The most large-scale counterfeit production is concentrated in the Moscow and Voronezh regions, as well as in the North Caucasus. Wholesalers do not particularly hide the origin of the goods, and, as a rule, act openly.

However, in retail sales, sellers may obscure counterfeit products. Usually, the terms “confiscated” and “Duty Free” serve as a cover. It should be emphasized that under the law a confiscated person has the right to sell only the Russian Federal Property Fund, and serious restrictions on volume (volume) apply to the purchase of goods in Duty Free.

In some cases, a fake can only be distinguished after the bottle has been opened and the drink has been tried. It is especially unpleasant if alcohol was presented as a gift to a loved one. Therefore, we decided to publish some signs that will distinguish the counterfeit at the stage of purchase, before the transfer of money. We will try to expand this list.

Jack daniel’s

Of course, it is best to recognize the counterfeit before opening the bottle, at the purchase stage.

There are several signs of fake:
1. Metal lid - the original Jack Daniel’s is only available with a plastic lid covered with a plastic shell;
2. Round “shoulders” of the bottle - since 2011, bottles have been produced in a new design;
3. Smooth “shoulders” - on the “shoulders” of the bottle on four sides there should be a relief inscription “Jack Daniel’s”;
4. “Curved” label - the label should be glued evenly, and the order of the inscriptions on it should correspond to the established sample.

For clarity, we present the image of "Jack Daniel’s bottle", purchased in Rostov not so long ago:

Recently, counterfeit Jack Daniel’s in new bottles has spread. At first glance, the fake is indistinguishable from the original, but still there are several signs:

1. The absence of the “Registered trade-mark” ® badge on the neck of the bottle. It must be present on the original whiskey;
2. The smooth neck of the bottle. In a genuine drink, the neck of the bottle has edges along its entire length.

Tequila Olmeca

In order to determine the fake at the stage of purchase, you should remember the following symptoms:

1. The presence of ribs in the upper part of the lid - the original tequila has a lid with a smooth top;
2. Smooth bottle - there should be corrugation on the bottle, it is especially noticeable on the "shoulders" of the bottle; glass should not be smooth.

For clarity, we present an image of a fake bottle of Olmeca Gold, specially purchased by us in Rostov:

Whiskey Jameson

In order to distinguish a fake, one should pay attention to the following signs:

1. Plastic shell on the lid - the original Jameson has a metal lid without any shell;
2. The lack of embossed inscriptions on the bottle - this whiskey has two embossed inscriptions: “Product of Ireland” - at the bottom of the front of the bottle, and “John Jameson” - at the bottom of the back.
3. A 0.7 liter capacity is Jameson's most frequently counterfeited volume. In case of doubt about the quality of the drink, we propose to refuse to buy whiskey in a bottle of this volume. Buy a liter!

And, according to tradition, a fake photo:

Whiskey Johnnie Walker Black Label, Red Label

One of the most fake whiskeys is Johnnie Walker Black Label, which, however, is quite understandable by the popularity of the original drink. Due to the variety of fakes, the pictures will be presented immediately.

In order to distinguish a fake, you need to pay attention to the following signs:

1. The cover.

2. Stamping on the label

Whiskey Jim Beam

So, in order to distinguish fake Jim Beam whiskey before purchase, you need to carefully inspect the bottle. Particular attention should be paid to the following symptoms:

1. The cover. In real American bourbon Jim Beam, the top face of the lid has no edges - it is smooth;
2. The bottom of the cover. The original whiskey has two golden stripes, above the image of the Jim Beam trademark;
3. The neck of the bottle. In genuine Jim Beam, faces are present only on the lower half of the neck, while in a fake, the neck is faceted along the entire length;
4. Shoulder bottles. Real whiskey has a relief inscription “Jim Beam” on the shoulders of the bottle on four sides.

These characteristic features are reflected in the picture:

Cognac Hennessy

They say that sales of Hennessy cognac in the whole world exceed its production by 3-4 times. This means that only every 3-4 bottles of Hennessy is an original cognac, and the counterfeit volume reaches 80%.

However, this information is not confirmed. But, most likely, not very far from the truth.

One of the leaders in terms of counterfeit quantity, of course, is Hennessy X.O. To distinguish a fake, you need to pay attention to the following signs:

1. The volume of 0.5 liters. Cognac Hennessy XO in containers of 0.5 liters. not produced. Original cognac is bottled only in 0.35 and 0.7 liter bottles;
2. Shell cork. The original cork and shell are made using a special technology (including laser engraving and Holosleeve holograms), very tightly adhere to the glass of the bottle. The shell should not bring back memories of inexpensive wines produced domestically.

A very large number of fakes occur in Hennessy V.S.O.P. The lion's share of counterfeit is in cognac, bottled in the form of a flask, with a volume of 0.5 liters. Therefore, we recommend completely abandoning the purchase of Hennessy VSOP in a bottle of this shape and volume. Better buy a regular round bottle.

If there are no acceptable alternatives, and buying cognac in a bottle-flask is inevitable, then you should pay attention to the following features (they are similar to the signs for Hennessy X.O.):

1. The cover. It should not resemble ordinary vodka. Hennessy Cognac House pays a lot of attention to the production of corks and their protection, as mentioned above.
2. A relief image of a hand with a halberd. It should be present on the top of the front of the bottle.

Whatever it is said, but this is one of the main attributes. In today's article, we will talk about such a sensational representative of alcoholic drinks as Jameson whiskey.

A little bit about the drink

Jameson is the most famous scotch tape made in Ireland. Thanks to the use of high-quality components, that is, the highest grades of barley, it has a unique, clean and mild taste. Drink whiskey "John Jameson" should be diluted with nothing in order to try the exquisite taste of this drink.

Over the past hundred years, the company producing this whiskey has experienced many ups and downs. However, with cautious steps, she regains her fame and success, lost in the twentieth century due to the difficult economic situation. Despite this, to this day, Irish scotch tape remains the benchmark among all its other counterparts.

History of creation

Initially, Scotland is considered the birthplace of whiskey. However, in Iceland this type of drink appeared much earlier, and it was this country that should be considered its discoverer. But if you look from the other side, then in both of these countries the mention of scotch tape flashed back in the 16th century. Yes, and the inventor John Jameson himself was a Scot, so there is no exact fact confirming his discovery in a particular country.

It is Iceland that produces a high-quality brand by storing it in barrels specially selected for strength and age. This fact is a hallmark of the Scottish manufacturer.

The Scot Jameson created the John Jameson & Son Dublin Distillery in 1780. However, at that time, adhesive tape did not gain much popularity due to the peculiar taste. The founder of the company was a successful businessman who knew his business. Even now, for every bottle you can read the inscription “There is no fear” - this is John’s distinctive slogan, because it was thanks to him that the company got on its feet, gained immense popularity and began to generate great revenues. After his death, a son took up the family business, who showed excellent success in this matter.

Jameson whiskey reached its peak of fame in 1860. Then cognac and brandy of French manufacture were in great demand. However, after an unforeseen death due to the invasion of aphids by large hectares of vineyards in the years 1858-1853, the production of these drinks decreased significantly. Therefore, fans of brandy and brandy gave their preference to Irish whiskey. Over the year, the company produced a large number of goods, which were distributed throughout the world. In 1890, manufacturing tactics changed slightly, making the drink even cheaper. However, in true Scottish distilleries, they adhered to the original recipe for production.

An interesting fact is that the name whiskey, which is widely used in all countries of the world today, was brought from Ireland.

But success was not so long. After Ireland gained independence, a difficult economic situation began, as a result of which it was ordered to close all adhesive tape production enterprises. The situation worsened in 1920, after the adoption of the Prohibition, which closes the main access to the buyer. By 1996, only 3 missions remained alive. These are John Jameson & Son, Cork Distillers Company and John Power & Son. In order to unequivocally prevent the death of the production of this noble drink, they decided to merge these three companies into a single whole. Thus, a new single empire called Irish Distillers Ltd. Production moved from Dublin to Middleton. And the original old distillery was converted into an art museum that can take you to the birth of Jameson whiskey.

In 1988, Pernod Ricard bought Irish Distillers Ltd, which significantly contributed to higher promotion in the production of hard liquors. Today, Jameson is the second most popular manufacturer. And after so many years, the adhesive tape has not lost its true taste.

Taste

The pleasant taste of Jameson whiskey remains unchanged today. The opportunity to clearly feel the notes of walnut and sherry. This is possible, since both types obtained from the distillation cube and grain whiskey are mixed, then it is infused in sherry barrels with a nutty smell for 6 years. Next, the drink is poured into bourbon barrels, which gives it a sweet aroma and vanilla flavor. Also, you will not taste the haze, which is mandatory for Scotch tape, because the Irish dry barley without using peat.

Extraordinary taste is achieved by triple distillation. And barley, personally selected by the founder of the empire, makes it possible to call "Jameson" - Irish whiskey - the most tender drink in the world.

Varieties

Undoubtedly, it can be argued that the whiskey "Jameson Swing" is the most popular and high-quality brand. The company produces various types of strong alcohol. Among them is also an elite variety Pure pot still. Its difference from other species is that in its manufacture use green sprouted barley. Next, we consider other, no less well-known varieties of the drink made by the Irish brand "Jameson" (whiskey). Photos illustrate the story of its diversity.

Jameson irish whiskey

A classic, characterized by a soft, slightly sweet feeling of impurities of nuts, vanilla extract and sherry. Two types of barley are used for production - it is malt and not malted. Due to the fact that it is aged in specially prepared bourbon and sherry barrels for up to six years, it acquires a nutty flavor and the smell of vanilla. It should be noted that other companies engaged in the manufacture of whiskey, withstand it only about three years.

After aging, it is poured into an ordinary bottle of noble green color, which confirms the originality and adherence to old customs. This type of whiskey is the most popular, it can be freely purchased in almost any large trading house where alcohol is sold.

Jameson 12 Year Old Special Reserve

Undoubtedly, this is the best type of Irish whiskey, because it has been aged for about 12 years. Taste cannot be confused with anything. Soft sherry with nut-creamy and woody notes, a long linden finish, a sharp smell and a dark golden hue - these are signs that help to recognize this drink from thousands of others. Also, the variety can be found under the name Jameson 1870, which indicates the original company.

Jameson 18 Year Old Limited Reserve

By the name of this variety you can already understand everything at once. It is sold exclusively in a limited series, since the exposure time is eighteen years, and then it takes six months for the final maturation of the product. Each bottle is also endowed with a personal number. The first time this tape was presented in 2002, immediately collecting a large number of letters and awards. As for the taste, it is delicate, with a vivid sensation of vanilla, caramel, sherry and walnut; the shade is golden brown. Jameson 18 Year Old Limited Reserve has an aromatic oil smell and a long finish.

Jameson gold reserve

Elite variety. This is the only scotch tape for which they take a container of young oak. Also, its peculiarity is that two types of adhesive tape are taken. One is infused in oak barrels, and the second in sherry and bourbon. It is characterized by a velvety taste of honey with notes of sherry, oak and a long-lasting blissful taste. The year of his birth is 1996. The container has a packaging of a beautiful and rich golden hue.

Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve

The birth was carried out in 2007, and in 2009 the variety was awarded the World Whiskies Awards as the best Irish alcoholic beverage. For cooking, only old recipes and ingredients are used, and they insist it in specially selected sherry barrels, therefore, scotch tape has subtle notes of wood and fruit aromas. After tasting this tape, you can feel the shades of banana, plum and melon, cinnamon. You can not confuse it with something else, as the taste of wood, as well as various types of chocolate, is clearly felt. A pleasant conclusion is the long-lasting aftertaste of fruit and barley.

The difference between a fake and the original

It is known that sometimes a fake can be presented on sale. Every true connoisseur of good strong quality drinks should be able to distinguish Jameson whiskey from the original. It is not surprising that many unscrupulous companies are trying to cash in, posing as a pathetic substitute for the original. Therefore, so that you do not throw out your money in vain, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with a number of distinguishing features:

1. Real Irish whiskey is sold only in large stores or supermarkets. To be sure of authenticity, you can ask the seller to provide a quality certificate. He does not have the right to refuse this request.

2. Pay attention to the appearance of the bottle. Often, the manufacturer of a fake does not pay much attention to it, using low-quality and cheap materials.

3. The absence of an excise stamp also suggests fake.

4. This whiskey should have a crystal clear, golden or brownish tint liquid, without sediment.

5. When shaking, the appearance of large bubbles is observed, which slowly dissolve in the total mass.

6. After the sample, a long aftertaste remains. And the smell gives off a little oak notes, and the ardent spirit of alcohol is simply unacceptable in the original adhesive tape.

Jameson whiskey: reviews

After reading the reviews, you can understand that this noble drink is suitable only for true connoisseurs. People who have tried it claim that it really has a slight woody smell and notes of vanilla. Also, it is recommended to use it only in its pure form, without adding various juices and even ice, so as not to spoil the true taste. It is best to use it in small sips to feel a wonderful aftertaste. The ideal snack is dried fruit. Some also say that it is Jameson whiskey that is ideal for adding to coffee.

As for storage, it is best to keep it in a dark cool place, in order to prevent clarification of the liquid. And most importantly, do not fall for a fake and try the original drink, the recipe of which is passed on from generation to generation.
