Reviewed December 19, 2021 (edited December 20, 2021)Going to be honest here and say I have turned my nose up on most Jameson products. Not really sure why except maybe they seemed to mainstream for me, but this one caught my eye. The wife really enjoys Irish drams so I thought I'd go ahead and splurge on the fancy package and liquid inside. Nose is fairly sweet with some red berry notes. For a cask strength there is no real ethanol or heat on the nose. First sip brings an interesting twist. There is definitely some fruitiness, but it is accompanied by a mild cinnamon burn that comes on fairly quick and lasts the duration of the sip. As you dive in for another sip you start to sense the emergence of some really nice honey notes on the edges. The finish is soft with some light brown sugar notes as it fades away. Overall I am really enjoying the number of cask strength Irish offerings that are starting to pop up. In general I find around 110 to be a sweet spot so the low proofs of most Irish are just a little short for me. This one brings that wonderful fruit that many of my favorite Irish drams feature with a nice warming burn of a heavier proof. I am not sure I am ready to fill my shelf with Jameson, but this particular bottle definitely can fight with the Redbreasts and Spots. A little pricey, but a great bottle to have on your shelf if you see it.170.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed November 15, 2021 (edited December 11, 2021)It’s good, but it has a bit of alcohol astringency that sticks out like vodka to me. There is some Sherry fruitiness - it’s dry and pervasive. The longer you let it sit in your mouth, the better it is. -

Reviewed June 18, 2021 (edited June 21, 2021)On the neck pour, this 18 year old packs a punch at 110.2 proof. Different than any other iteration from this distillery. Full bodied with a flavor blast of white raisins, carmel, sugar cookies, and floral notes. The finish is medium/long. This is a potent Irish flavor bomb. I think the heat will die down once it opens up a bit. -

Reviewed October 17, 2020 (edited March 11, 2022)A bit more of an alcohol heat, but a raisony and caramel flavor. It has a subtle sweetness and a floral aftertaste.Kearny Plaza Discount liquor
