Jameson Irish Whiskey

Hay/straw on a humid summer's day with citrus and honey notes open on the nose. A slight metallic prescence lurks. As it continues to open, a malty sweetness arrives. The malty sweetness carries onto the palate within a thin, but soft, body. Vanilla, honey and lemon-tea notes all appear at varying times. Mild tongue burn arrives late, leaving a peppery, spicy finish and ends with a slight bitterness. Finishes quickly. With the addition of water, a toffee nose is more prevalent as well as on the palate. The bitterness is diminished on the finish. A much more enjoyable spirit with a splash. Nice and easy (on the wallet too) and perfect for sharing and recommend with water. No surprises. Simple and straightforward. [$30 ltr][83/100][Opened 1/23/15][Revisted: 1/24/16]

Light flavor that does not overpower. Typical Irish triple distillation makes it incredibly smooth and easy to drink.

A little bit tart, a little bit sweet, the original Jameson is one of my go-to drinks when I'm out with friends and on a budget. Also an excellent standby to keep at home in between our more expensive whisky explorations.
