Jameson Black Barrel

Rougher than the regular catalog

I bought this bottle because I wanted to try an Irish Old Fashion cocktail that called for it. The cocktail was good, but when I tried the whiskey neat it wasn't as desirable. The nose is fruity and full. I researched the bottle because I was expecting smoky notes, considering it's called Black Barrel. I found out that ex-sherry barrels were used along with ex-bourbon barrels, which made sense because the jammy, cherry, fruity notes that I often get off sherry casks comes through front and centre. I found it very enjoyable. On the palate, I got some fruity notes from the sherry influence, along with some subtle spice, but not much after that. However, I didn't enjoy the finish. There was a harsh bitterness that's hard to explain. Overall, it's not really my thing. 5/10

아이리쉬위스키. 바닐라 카라멜. 향은 괜찮은데 목넘김이 별로고 끝맛이 아쉬움.
