Pernod Ricard Korea unveiled a series of new ads for its Jameson Irish Whiskey on Monday, featuring artists from various fields enjoying a whiskey highball.

Each of the three ads features an artist enjoying whiskey in a different setting -- camping, a house party and a pub -- as part of the company’s “Why Jameson Highball?” campaign. The ads are posted on its social media platforms, including Instagram.

The participating artists are Jackson Shim, J Black and Adoy.

Pernod Ricard Korea said the new ad campaign reflects a recent trend in drinking culture centered on smaller gatherings and house parties. The company said other promotions are scheduled to kick off in October.
