Jameson Black Barrel

Nose: Barrel spice and vanilla are immediately apparent. A dollop of green apple peaks its head out after. A bit of unripe pear also shows up. Palate: Sweet malty base with a bit of butter. Shortbread topped with a very light pear jam. The barrel spice is there towards the back, but not nearly as strong as it is in the nose. A bit of white pepper at the very end. Finish: Short-Medium length. Dry on the middle of the tongue, but mouthwatering at the same time. Almost no lingering alcohol burn. Dominated by cereal malt and buttery sweetness.

Very pleasantly surprised on the smooth nature. I tend to enjoy the lightly smoked nature.

Bottle was a Christmas gift from my brother.

Black barrel has a lot of flavour for an Irish whiskey I love the sherry like fruit and slight smoke but has a little burn and finish is a little medicinal interestingly enough the barrel pull from the distillery at cask strength is one of my favourite whiskeys ever! Like stout and crested more and for $20 more greenspot is amazing

Nice blend. The nose is most single pot still-ish. Tasting it, is pretty soft and easy-drinking, leaving in the mouth just a bit of the charred barrel note (not overwelming at all) and single pot still spices. Great value for bucks!
