Jameson Jameson Black Barrel NV 750ml

Like a liquid (if boozy) apple pie, this blended whiskey offers bold, rich aromatics, with lots of dried and stewed fruit flavors and butterscotch. The drawn-out finish incorporates touches of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and even a mouthwatering sprinkle of salt.

Beautiful topaz / old gold color; some sediment spotted floating in the core. Out of the gate, the opening aroma is remarkably fruity and biscuity, almost like sugar cookies, yet there's also a yeasty / doughy quality that's fresh and vivid; with aeration the bouquet turns a little spicy and toasted that adds pleasing aspects to the fruit and cookie batter scents. Entry taste is like buttered toasted wheat bread with cherry preserves and is consequently gently sweet in an old honey manner; the substantial mouthfeel is delightful at midpalate, as are the rich oak and sap tastes that balance the honey element with grace. Concludes bitter-sweet, bordering on astringent, oaky, woody, toasty and vividly robust.
