This is a nice/normal dram, appealing in the nose but fails to deliver in the palate. It is kind of an experiment from jameson to mature the whiskey (with an "e") in stout beer barrels. Bottled at 40% abv amber color. On the nose, hay, forest, hops (like beer), beer foam, cream, latex and coffee. Interesting, fragant, very appealing. On the palate, as i said befor things start to fall apart (this is not an expensive whisky, so it was kind of fair for this to happen). Notes of chocolate but mostly rye grain, with a spicy rye finish, long. Not my cup of tea. Overall i give this dram a fair score of 77 over 100, irish whiskies are still a bit unexplored by me, i need to improve the bottles i buy in the search for the perfect irish Whiskey.
