At first, this Irish whiskey presents itself as expected - smooth and grainy. Sweet notes of brown sugar and a hint of chocolate emerge. These are joined by spicy, lightly toasted toast, a touch of peanuts, and delicate wild honey. A subtle, hard-to-define fruity sweetness rounds out the flavor profile.
On the palate, Jameson Black Barrel also reveals its buttery side. There is no unpleasant sharpness, despite its likely low age. Primary flavors are sweet notes of toast, vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar. A subtle, almost tropical fruit note is also to be discovered. Overall, the whiskey resembles a "Lippische Strohsemmel" (a regional speciality in our area) with maple syrup.
The finish is short and flat. It starts with gentle oak notes, complemented by slight hints of bitter almonds for a subtle bitterness. Finally, it ends with minimal coffee bean accents that add a touch of coffee to the finish.
