I did wonder. I remember drinking a Jamieson's single malt in the Rhu Inn, outside Helensburgh, in the late 60s early seventies. It was about 5 bob for 1/4 of a gill and that was an awful lot of money in those days. The pub kept dozens of rare single malts, many of whose distilleries had ceased production. I remember Jamieson's because it was a particularly tasty dram and I drank a few over a year or so. I don't think it's been produced for many, many years now.
It came in a green bottle, with a green, black and gold lable?
As you say was very nice dram, but expensive.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's produced anymore, or if is it's only sold in certian places, to a select few.
If you are ever in Scotland, with an hour to spend. I can recommend a visit to The Whisky Castle in Tomintoul, has over 550 Malts in shop, gives good advice and has mostly malts from Independant whiskey makers. Bottles from @ £25 upwards, some very rare editions, (don't ask price!) and lots of miniatures for tasting or gifts.
That sounds about right, the only Irish single malt I ever really liked and I liked it an awful lot but I couldn't afford to buy a whole bottle. There were quite a few single Irish malts around in Scotland back then.
In those days there was an Irish blend that was drunk a lot in Glasgow Irish pubs, called something or other Gold Label, the memories are a bit faded. It was quite a lot cheaper than even Bells but much smoother.
