Really good, tastes like a sweet carribean rum. Ethanol and bananas on the nose, on the taste is creamy vanilla bakery notes, fresh oak woodiness, spicy, hefty amount of sugary sweetness for a whiskey, slight tart, slightly velvety texture but 40% abv is still very much apparent with how thin it feels, faint metallic shortbread dairy, fluffy, airy whipped cream aftertaste and slight oak and vanilla, very soft and easy to sip, not that funky, but also not super flavorful, lots of ethanol, and a bit of harshness sting/burn throughout, very clean alcohol taste (probably due to triple distillation). Great every day whiskey due to its sweetness and light flavor, maybe a little too great, because of how plush it is up front.
Very rummy, and sweeter than some cheap bourbon. My first Jameson, and I like this one, so far.
Second bottle I opened has less bite, is more savory, with more vanilla and hints of some kind of smoke, or burnt sugar. I do like the second bottle more, as it seems to have a little more flavor, and less sting/woodiness, but seems maybe just slightly thinner.
