Jameson Irish Whiskey is by far one of the most popular and well-known whiskeys, but did you know that there is a sinister history lurking behind the worldwide distributed liqueur? In the 1880’s James Jameson, the grandson of the founder of Jameson Irish Whiskey and heir to the vast fortune, bought a 10-year-old girl while on an expedition in the Congo just so he could sketch her being eaten by cannibals. James would later state that he had went along with it because he believed it be a joke and could not imagine that the villagers would kill and eat a child. So, did James Jameson pay to have a child cannibalized for him to sketch or was it a sinister joke that had gone too far?
