Tastes

Perfectly balanced between rye spice and dark fruits. Not easy drinking unless you add water or ice but do not do that. Balance disappears and you just get smooth sweetness. The point of this whiskey is the rye spice playing off of the port sweetness. I couldn’t ask for more in this whiskey. For what it is trying to do it hits perfection.

Very good. Reminds me of Redbreast with some Oaked bourbon added. The spice is definitely not what I expect in a typical Irish. Delicious. Not one I would buy a bottle of due to price.

Big upgrade from Glenlivet 12 as the rum barrel sweetness offsets some of the less pleasant flavors found in the 12.

Not for me. Not horrible but I’d never buy a fifth of it.

Very fruity taste. Nose is pleasant yet faint. Decently balanced whiskey. Definitely good. I don’t rate this as spectacular as many do. Definitely not a buy for me at $64.99 per fifth in Ohio. This is a $40-$45 whiskey to me.

Unlike the Stout option, the IPA does not improve upon regular Jameson for me. I like regular Jameson so I was not disappointed by this but it’s not something I would purchase a fifth of. Definitely can tell it’s association with IPA given the bitter citrus on the palate.

Absolutely fantastic. Jameson appears to be a perfect choice given its soft flavors to be used to impart flavor upon. Anyone who loves both whiskey and dark beer would be in heaven. Would absolutely not be an everyday drinker for me due to its very unique profile but it’s a surefire choice to be stocked in my cabinet.

If you’re in the mood for a soft, lightly sweet/tart, smooth (when on the rocks) and very easy drinking whiskey, it would be hard to beat this for the price. Not a lot of nose or finish but that’s clearly not what Jameson is going for. Very little complexity or deep flavor but it’s hard to argue with the extremely easy drink ability of this whiskey.

Purchased a bottle for my father secondary. He has wanted one for years. Delicious fruit sweetness. Very smooth but not as smooth as Blantons however it has far better flavor on the finish. Finish lingers considering proof. Not the best bourbon I’ve ever had but definitely in the top 10%. Secondary prices are absurd. This bottle is realistically worth maybe $80. It is a pleasure to drink when not considering price paid.
