Jameson Black Barrel

11.9.22 Served: Neat, rocks glass Bottle Open: unknown Last intake: none. Aroma: Vanilla, cake, pear. Very similar notes to american whiskeys. Flavor: Thin mouthfeel, evident burn. Char, malt, apples. Mild sweetness. Maltier and more complex in flavor than regular jameson, but the flavors feel out of place with such a weak mouthfeel. Not enjoyable on its own (though barely offensive). Would likely get lost in cocktails. Worth a shot, but Im not buying a bottle any time soon.

I feel upset for not liking it more. I like the nose more than the palette. I got a chocolate smell and taste and that’s the best part for me. It’s ok.

This Ain’t your Daddy’s Jamie. This puppy grew up and became a solid whiskey. Nice soft smoke with a great pop of dark fruits. Good flavours. Nice adjustment from a super smooth liquid in the normal Jamie to a far more interesting complex liquid. Well played!
