Tastes

Really liked this one. Completely drinkable peated blend. So smooth, I'd put this on the shelf. Seemed distinctively Johnnie Walker next to a peated single malt. Makes me want to try it next to Red and Black to compare especially since it's so much more expensive. My guess is that it's a similar taste profile just a lot smoother with some of the harsh notes removed.

Really wanted to like this so I could put that awesome bottle on my shelf. Can't do it, just not interesting enough. No peat, no sherry, just burns from the high proof. I'd like to give the Classic Sherry version a try as well as the Bruich peated, but I could do without this one.

Really enjoyed this. Seemed like a quintessential peated single malt. Peat, iodine on the front with a little sweet and not too much heat on the back.

Such a tasty go-to. That banana note and mellow finish just goes down so smooth. So distinct. Great to taste next to a rye, Bourbon, scotch or Irish whiskey.

I really like this one! Minty. Almost a little metallic on the nose. Spicy for sure. The taste just exploded on my tongue. Still spicy but you hold it on your tongue and the explosive spice melts into a sweet cherry pie or raisin pudding. Strong finish.

Most drinkable Jameson I've had so far. Less harsh and a few more creamy and almost sweet notes. For Irish whiskey I still prefer Bushmill's.

A little more interesting than regular Jameson, but still dull, heavy and harsh. Much prefer the light and freshness of Bushmill's or if I'm going for something heavy, Bourbon or Scotch.

My least favorite Irish whiskey thus far. Bitter, harsh and dull without interesting notes. Like Tullamore a bit better and Bushmill's a lot better.

Liked it better than regular Jameson but not as much as Bushmill's. Bushmill's just has the most refreshing, light grassy and floral notes of any (Irish) whiskeys that I've tasted. I really like that, especially as a contrast to Bourbon.

Light peat, sweet. Nice drink. I'd probably sip on it from a bottle. Not mind blowing. Maybe tastier than Bowmore 12.
