My friend DevilBeats recommended this and so I bought it. Beer cask whisky is growing in Switzerland and Germany, and with Glenfiddich, beer influenced whisky is big in Alsace-Lorraine, with Biersky by Uberach for example. But back to Jameson: sweet at first, a fruity flavour I can't grasp, possibly quince, followed by bitter stewed banana (admittedly an oxymoron), the round, honeyed sweetness of Irish whiskey peaks through, the flavours suddenly vanish for two seconds, only to flair up again, growing dry and bitter, increasingly spicy with cocoa, smokiness and hops and a discreet leitmotif of cherry, finishing with a grilled flavour like coffee, but not quite as fresh. A toasty, sweet, dry flavour lingers for a while after. Unusual: triple distillation often removes the maltiness, but the beer cask gives it back, the whiskey is surprisingly dry for Irish triple distillation, but the rather medium finish and bitterness betrays the young age and the high grain content. A whiskey that certainly grew on me. The whiskey is like an unusual, dramatic show with its surprising flavours. Something definitely worth a try and an explore.
