Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition

Absolutely fantastic intro whisky for a newcomer. It’s gentle and sweet with very little burn or spice to scare your friend off. For the experienced it might seem a bit weak-sauce but a fun experiment and great value for money. Nose: Lunchbox banana from an arms length away Milk chocolate Bright... creaming soda Vanilla Taste: Gentle stout influence with the young dark chocolate malt and dull mash hooping that appears on the breath out. Super gentle on the palate, no alcohol burn or barrel spice to start. Just sweet caramel and that brown banana again. Tiny hint of coriander (cilantro) and mock green apple. Finish: A little spice and black tea lingers for a short time and vanishes.

It's a very light whiskey, not too challenging but definitely has some good stout notes. I get a little chocolatey coffee notes as well as maybe some vanilla. overall really good.
