Tastes

Nice orange vanilla, almost Dreamsicle smell on the nose. The taste is a nice medicinal cherry and oak with a hint of spice that fades into a bit more fruit on the finish

Look, don't go into this expecting anything fancy and you'll have a good time. It's like a Fast and the Furious movie. It's not here to change your life, just give you a good time. It's got a great chocolate-peanut butter smell on the nose and almost descends into a caramel popcorn taste. Very good whiskey.

Having just tried the Caskmates IPA, I didn't have high hopes for this. BOY, WAS I WRONG. It has such a nice rich chocolate-cream on the nose that it made normal Jameson smell like relatively nothing when I went back for a comparison. The mouthfeel is a lot heavier and a lot more satisfying in my opinion. The taste carries those rich chocolatey notes into your mouth before having a nice black pepper finish that doesn't seem to last long enough. Very good whiskey.

Comparing this to normal Jameson, the hops flavor is definitely very prominent. There's still a sweet floral-lemony note to the nose, but it seems to be overpowered by the hops, same with the taste, a lot more bitter than normal James. I'm sure for a hop-head, this would be a fantastic whiskey but not for me.

Really nice floral, lemon notes on the nose. Lots of that traditional shortbread, almost Cheerio-like taste. A very nice, smooth whiskey but nothing particular to write home about

Really lovely nose on this one. Reminiscent of a bakery at Christmas time with the different spices. The spice hits hard when I first tasted it, but it eventually calmed into some very nice dessert flavors and a caramel finish

A really nice oaky and vanilla nose welcomes you to this chocolate-orangey scotch that's more friendly and warm than a hug from a long-lost family member. A little water opens up a few of the harsher wood and orange notes but it's hard to make this anything but the friendliest scotch around.

It does what it says on the tin.

No. It has a nice hint of caramel in the beginning but just no

The nose is beautiful, hints of crème brûlée and almost a banana-type note. That all changed when I took a sip and the alcohol flavors took over
