For only $3 more than the standard Jameson, you can get the Triple Triple which is worlds better than the standard bottling, mainly because I find a lot of Irish blends have this metallic edge which gets taken off with rocks, but who wants to further water down a dram that's already 80 proof. Beginners, that's who. And that's fine. But again, if you want to point the beginners to an upgrade, look here. It's not terribly different than the standard Jameson, but the flavors are a little more intense. The nose is honey and apple, but it's very distinct kind of apple, more like a honey crisp or pink lady than a gala or a Fuji. It's a very bright refreshing scent, not terribly complex, but this isn't designed to work that way. There a hint of vanilla but it's buried beneath that apple. The palate is very light bodied with a similar but muted flavor profile as the nose. Obviously at 80 proof it's going to be light bodied, you don't get a whole lot of full bodied 80 proof whisky, but as mentioned above, that metallic clang isn't anywhere present. The finish is rather short and not terribly impressive, but again, this was built to be an easy sipper, smooth and rather undemanding, and in setting out to do so, they've accomplished exactly what they planned.
