If you like the Jameson's flavour profile, you'll enjoy this whiskey. Price-wise, it's positioned between the entry level and the Black Barrel ("Select Reserve"?), and that's probably where it deserves to be: rounder, softer, and more interesting than the standard Jame-o, but not quite as intense, rich, and pot-still heavy as the Black Barrel. Nevertheless, a surprisingly worthwhile whiskey: lots of apple, tropical fruit (papaya, mango), that pot still funk, big floral, and honey. A nice creaminess, with some faint malt, chocolate, and coffee character. A touch of vanilla. Like every Jameson bottling, it's crying out for more proof, but it's still a pretty pleasant, enjoyable experience.
