If you’re a fan of Irish whiskey and soccer, you’ll likely be excited to learn that while Jameson Irish Whiskey has a multi-year deal with Major League Soccer, the iconic brand didn’t stop there. It recently announced a local partnership with LA Galaxy, making it the Official Irish Whiskey Sponsor of the reigning 2024 MLS Cup champion team.

Brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, this new partnership will unite die-hard soccer fans with one of the most popular Irish whiskeys of all time. What better way to celebrate a hard-earned victory against one of LA Galaxy’s rivals than with a glass (or two) of Jameson Irish Whiskey? And you don’t have to imbibe this whiskey only during the St. Patrick’s Day season. You can drink it during the whole MLS season (and all year long).

“Soccer is more than just a game—it’s a culture, a passion, and a way for fans to come together and celebrate the moments that matter,” Johan Radojewski, vice president of marketing for Pernod Ricard North America, said in a press release.

“Jameson has always been about creating connections and partnering with the LA Galaxy, which allows us to be right where our fans already are—celebrating the sport they love. We’re excited to raise a glass with the LA Galaxy community and be part of the incredible energy that soccer brings to Los Angeles.”

What can fans expect?

One part of the collaboration consists of a new Jameson Irish Whiskey-branded bar where LA Galaxy fans can grab a glass of whiskey or a cocktail. It officially opened during the team’s home opener this past Sunday at Dignity Health Sports Park (DHSP). Jameson Irish Whiskey branding will also be featured in the stadium during matches, on LA Galaxy’s digital channels, and at fan fests.

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

What really is the difference between these two liquors?

I've been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I've learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka --this is especially true when both are unaged. Appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. Although, the same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff is when the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.
