Jameson Irish Whiskey is bringing together two great tastes that taste great together (more or less) with their brand new Jameson Cold Brew.

The recently-announced โ€œspirit drinkโ€ as the bottle refers to itโ€”as opposed to a vodka drink, a lager drink, or a cider drinkโ€”is a blend of โ€œtriple-distilled Jameson Irish Whiskeyโ€ and โ€œFairtrade cold brew coffee extract sourced from Arabica beans in Colombia and Brazil,โ€ per Liquor.com. The bottle even has that little Fairtrade logo on it.

The flavor is described as โ€œdistinctive, bold, and natural with refreshing cold brew coffee impact followed by charred wood from the pot still whiskey contribution on palate,โ€ with โ€œintense rich coffee bean aromatics combined with vanilla nuttiness of Jameson.โ€

Sitting at a pretty drinkable 70 proof, Jameson Cold Brew is expected to retail at $33, which is probably about as much as Iโ€™d be willing to pay for this sort of coffee-based gimmick, and Iโ€™m the target audience.

Alas, it is unlikely that Jameson Cold Brew is in my American future, as the very limited releaseโ€”only 3,000 bottles madeโ€”is currently only available on the Emerald Isle, somewhat ironic considering the last time I was in Ireland I could rarely find a filter coffee, much less a cold brew. According to Liquor, the new whiskey is only available for purchase at Jamesonโ€™s Dublin distillery and the Dublin Airport, but a quick Google search found that Obriens appears to be selling bottles of Jameson Cold Brew for โ‚ฌ28.50. And theyโ€™ll deliver anywhere on the country.

But should I be lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle, I know just the mixer.
