  • In the Time It Has Taken James Halliday to Compile His 26 Australian Wine
    In the time it has taken James Halliday to compile his 26 Australian Wine Companions, the Chardonnay grape has emigrated to almost every hill and vale across our viticultural landscape. No other variety has adapted more successfully, from single barrel selections to vast commercial blends. No other inspires such singular focus in our winemakers to sharpen their craft. No other sends vignerons searching, with gold fever, for that next hill, or clone, or aspect. Chardonnay alone explores the breadth and personality of all Australian wine regions. In our tribute to James Halliday, the true patron of fine Australian wine, no other variety would do for this national wine competition. Organised by Wine Yarra Valley, the objective of the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge is to affirm the quality of Australian Chardonnay and provide a catalyst for people to take a fresh look at this much-loved wine by providing an appropriate platform for the national search to recognize Australia’s finest chardonnay. A Welcome from the Committee Australian chardonnay has never been better. It is a great news story and one about which we should all be proud and excited. The level of support for the inaugural James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge has been overwhelming and we thank all of the exhibitors for getting behind it so enthusiastically. We thank James for his guidance and support in the design and execution of the competition and agreeing to be our patron. We were very lucky to be able to secure one of the most dynamic and talented groups of judges in Australia, literally from coast-to-coast, and thank them for volunteering their time, expertise and camaraderie.

  • 'Jameson Caskmates', Het Resultaat Van Een Unieke
    23 november 2016 PERSBERICHT ‘JAMESON CASKMATES’, HET RESULTAAT VAN EEN UNIEKE AMBACHTELIJKE SAMENWERKING, IS NU WERELDWIJD VERKRIJGBAAR Bekijk het filmpje over Jameson Caskmates op: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSbUErfAMu0 Vorig jaar introduceerde Jameson een beperkt aantal flessen Jameson Caskmates op de Ierse markt. Het grote succes ervan overtuigde het merk om de Jameson Caskmates flessen nu wereldwijd op de markt te brengen. Dit uniek ambachtelijk product wordt gemaakt door Midleton Distillery in samenwerking met microbrouwerij Franciscan Well Brewery uit Cork en biedt een nieuwe smaakervaring aan alle whiskeyliefhebbers, Jameson-drinkers en fans van ambachtelijk bier. Het verhaal van Jameson Caskmates begon in 2013, toen de meester-distilleerder van Jameson, Brian Nation, en meester in whiskeywetenschappen Dave Quinn in een bar in Cork de stichter en hoofdbrouwer van Franciscan Well ontmoetten, Shane Long. De meesters van Jameson leenden enkele Jameson-vaten uit aan de brouwerij om te achterhalen welke invloed ze hadden op het Ierse donkere bier stout. Toen de vaten waarin het bier had gerijpt aan Midleton Distillery werden teruggegeven, vulde Dave Quinn ze opnieuw met Jameson Irish whiskey. Na verloop van tijd ontstond een nieuwe smaaksensatie: Jameson Caskmates. Jameson Caskmates, het resultaat van nieuwsgierigheid, samenwerking en innovatie, behoudt de drievoudig gedistilleerde zachte smaak van Jameson Original, waaraan toetsen koffie, cacao, butterscotch en een vleugje hop zijn toegevoegd. Jameson Caskmates komt wereldwijd op de markt en speelt in op de bestaande interesse van consumenten voor ambachtelijk bier en whiskey, aangezien het beide combineert tot een uitzonderlijk veelzijdige drank. Jameson Caskmates kan puur, on the rocks, in combinatie met bier of in cocktails op basis van bier worden geserveerd.
