Nose - Lightly muted flroal honey, faint hint of pear. Taste - Very subtle hints of cocoa and coffee, pear-honey water, light hazelnut sweetness, light white pepper spice. Finish - Light thin cocoa lingers and mixes with the pear-honey water that fades pretty quickly. Score - 76/100 Final Thoughts - Apparently the stout barrel aging imparted almost no new things to the nose as I couldn't get any stout notes on the nose. Where the extra aging really shines is on the taste and finish. It does add this light cocoa/coffee flavor, although subtle, is quite nice. The aging also apparently gets rid of the splenda sweet finish I get on the standard Jameson which is nice. If I see this and the original similarly priced, I'd probably grab this over the original.
