A delicious blend made with a good amount of pure potstill Irish whiskey. Jameson Gold Reserve is sublime stuff, and it was awarded a massive 94 points in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.

Buttery , vanilla , creamy tad weak on finish.
I'm a fan of Jameson and Irish whiskey, and this one is almost perfect for a blend. The mouthfeel, complexity, smoothness, but lack of finish... I mean, i hope it has long and lingering finish, but its just a blend right? Damn good dram!
In the Jameson line, the select reserve is much smoother and way cheaper. For my liking, the gold reserve is simply hard and dry...
Better than I expected. I have a hard time picking out any specific flavors. Honey and butter I guess. Very viscous Similar to Redbreast 15, Auchentoshan 21, and Bushmills 21 (minus the tobacco). I think it's a tad less sweet than the aforementioned, but only a tad. To me, that's a good thing, and I'd actually prefer a little drier myself; I find thick sweet whiskies a little too cough-mediciney, but that's just a personal thing. There's no questioning the quality of this one though, it's terrific.
Wonderful blend of malted and unmalted barley with delicate aroma and very rich and complex flavor. Notes: mint, honey, floral, green fruits, even cucumber and melon. My rate: 96/100 - Outstanding.
