my first reaction was "where the hell was this stuff before now?" If you ever felt that Jamison could use a little extra body, a little extra ummph- this is the cure. It’s really a great whiskey, full flavored and interesting - the stout adds a lovely chocolate mild smokey sweet netting that is sewn into the body of the whiskey. I may buy still buy Jamison shot n’ a beer at hipster bars because its .....cheap and classic, and cheap, however, this will be my new standard Irish whisky at home.
