You know what’s classier than a 50ml bottle? A GLASS 50ml bottle. Hello, 2017 Stocking Stuffer Jameson. Nose is incredibly yeasty. A bit of brine. Strangely, this reminds me a lot of some disappointing craft distillery ryes. Body is absurdly smooth, with very minimal flavors. There’s a doughiness there. Slight hit of honey. Finish is bitter, but gentle. This is where the brine from the nose comes back in. That bitterness sticks with you well after all the flavor is gone. I don’t care for that mouth feel one bit. So as a stocking stuffer whiskey, this may be my favorite one to date. Actual glass. Super posh. The whiskey inside won’t ever be a go-to choice, but it’s drinkable. Overall it’s like drinking a liquified slice of bread with some honey lathered on top, but for some reason it triggered your GERD. Edit: I just read this note on this app’s official tasting notes: “There is a bitterness to the finish, but that can be squashed quickly if you take another sip.” Isn’t that basically the equivalent of saying “this shit gets better if you keep drinking?” I guess I’m just not a fan of whiskeys who give you a leather belt, pat you on the back, and say, “Bite into this. It’ll be over soon.”
