Nose
Fresh sweat. A shower with Badedas. Arousingly aromatic. Perfume. Rose water. Palate
Creamy. Turkish delight. Finish
Very emphatic tea character. Comment
Those oily aromatics are quite a shock at first. Shows just how different a true 'Irish' character 15 years ago, or does Jameson benefit greatly from age?
Jim Murray
Nose
The raisiny, deftly honeyed brittle pot still eventually dominates the spice. Brooding stuff. Palate
Jameson Gold shafts of honey pierce the oaky, barley-rich intensity. Excellent bittersweet balance, but tending on the sweetish side. Finish
Docked marks for a slight briefness of finish. Hints of cocoa towards the end. Comment
Sensational stuff of a style universally unique to Irish whiskey, the Midleton distillery in particular. A classic.
