Everytime i taste a new Jameson, i am skeptic of what i am going to get. This caskmates expressions haven't been the best in the past, at least in my opinion, and i went absolutely with no expectations to try this whisky, and i got surprised. Bottled at 43%abv, golden color, matured in Stout Beer casks.
On the nose, it was quite clean and interesting. Orange peel, fruit spice, cotton candy, and the most incredible meringue note. Lemon and hay.
The palate followed the same path. Again this Meringue note, very appealing. Lemon peel, very citric. A second sip gave me vanilla ice cream.
Aftertaste was incredible. Meringue finish; Lemon and sugar; christmas Eggnog, Air freshener and mild spiciness.
Overall, this was so pleasant to have. Nothing too complex, a very nice whisky. Irish whiskies require an extra touch of experimentation to score good points in my books, since i am not the greatest fan of Irish drams. This one gave me clean and well delivered notes, i really enjoyed it. My score for it is 90 over 100, and most points were scored on the great aftertaste.

Holy shit whata story. Great imagination! Whisky is only good or bad. Maybe u can taste smoke if theres plenty of it. Everything else is just a nonsense bullshit. Littlefinger up!
