Do they still make a 15-year-old Jameson's? She Who Must Be Obeyed  
went in search of a decent Irish whisky for a gift (eventually coming  
home with Tullamore Dew, which I'd heard of, but never actually seen  
before), and the guys at the liquor store (who tend to know our buying  
patterns and that we don't tend to bother with crap) were recommending  
a product called Redbreast, which is apparently 12 years old, but  
alleges to be the only single-pot-still Irish whisky available. I  
think she decided to get some for the house next time...

In the mean time, the Tullamore Dew website states that a huge number  
of distilleries in Ireland were sold and closed in approximately 1959,  
and that almost all the Irish whisky on the market is made in one of  
only two distilleries.
