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.
Harsh. Very harsh. Go and get a bottle of Black Bush. That's a proper whiskey.
Context, people. Context :) Is this the best whiskey, no. Is it decent, reasonably reliable, available and affordable, yes. For those new to whiskey this is one I would definitely recommend, in fact all popular Irish blends make very good 'starter' whiskies. It's sweet, fruity and very quaffable imo. Is it one to sip and savour, not for me. Is it one for a good everyday whiskey or to order in a bar, yes. Best drank neat.
Based on price, nothing beats Jameson! On the rocks with a cigar in hand! I am not saying Jameson is the best, rather I am saying for the price you can't go wrong!
For this cheap price you can't expect a high-quality whisky and unfortunately this one is a good example. There's a lack of flavor and the finish is quite dissapppointing.
