Produced at the Midleton Distillery, Jameson is Ireland's quintessential Irish blend – a classic whiskey.
A full and floral nose leads with the smooth sweetness of marmalade and fudge before a hint of Madeira and a little cut grass note emerge.
Thick and of good body with notes of orchard fruits, both fresh and cooked with a little vanilla cream.
Medium-length with spice and honey.
Started drinking scotch recently, single malts and blends, and seemed to have landed on Johnny Black as my go to for price and taste...tried this recently, price and taste may have replaced the Johnny. Love it!
I was thoroughly impressed: not a peaty Scotch (yum!) but an easy drinking manly whiskey. Neat, splash of water, sipped, mellow, flavorful, no cheap alcohol taste. I'll have another if Scotch isn't handy. Better than Johnnie Black in ways.
Fruit (mostly pear and orange) amd vanilla.
Jameson is a very natural tasting, thoroughly-enjoyable whiskey. I have tried many many different whiskeys in my 58 years, and Jameson just gets it right. Whatever it is they do, they need to keep on doing it exactly the same way forever. It is, indisputably, one of the best ever made.
Easy to drink neat, easy to mix (but not with coke, for Gods sake!), simple but not boring. Is it better than B'mills? In my opinion it is nowadays...
