Jameson is one of those whiskeys I’ve had likely hundreds of times, but never really tasted if, if that makes sense. How many ginger ale and whisky I’ve had with Jameson is beyond me, but today I’ll actually be tasting a dram.
Look: I appreciate how light this is compared to many other whiskeys I’ve had. I don’t know Ireland’s coloring rules, but this is a pretty straw, light amber color.
Nose: Reminiscent of malt o meal, that hot breakfast cereal you’d eat as a kid, apples, pears, and honey.
Taste: so inoffensive, I really don’t great a crazy amount of flavor from this whisky. Sure, there’s that malt o meal flavor, honey and fruit, but it’s all somewhat muted. Easy enough to drink, not exactly a whisky to nerd out about.
Finish: smooth. I don’t like the word smooth, but smooth. A pretty shirt finish, little heat, the lingering flavor is sweat and pleasant.
Overall: there’s not much to complain about with Jameson, I think most people who drink whisky neat would steer clear from Jameson as it’s quite simple, but also pretty pleasant.
