Tasting Notes
"Jameson 12 doesn't get a lot of attention, and that is unfortunate. Those folks that just know the standard Jameson offering would be in for quite a surprise. The range of tastes go from honey, ripe pear, buttered toasted nuts, and dark caramel. The whisky is smooth and has an enjoyable finish."
