My second review on Jameson "Deconstructed Series", this time is for their "Bold" expression. I actually expected this one to be the worst one of the three, since "Round" was so good and "Lively" described itself as "elegant and Floral, with citrusy lightness, like a soft breeze". Well let me tell you a spoiler, that one was the only one i did not like; and, this "Bold" was quite decent. Aroma is normal, goes from very dim to "nice" after a couple of minutes. Fresh fields, Grain whiskey and some Alcohol note is the first you get. Then, there is a cheap citrusness to it, like lemon or lime. Mostly spicy like strong black pepper. Full spicy on the nose. Waiting 5 minutes will release some cotton or sugar note Let it breath, It will release some sweeter notes like Orange cough syrup. Cinnamon and apples. Whole aroma feels dim and unclear; mostly spicy. Bubble gum aroma will appear after two sips. On the palate you find this inmidiate spice bomb, not unpleasant or overpowering. Chilli and cinammon. Doesn't feel grainy at all. Not oily nor thick, just spicy. Aftertaste, as the "Round" expression, is amazing. Nice clean bubble gum finish. It is exactly bubble gum with cinnamon. Aftertaste is proven the best part of this series (i thought that before having the "Lively" one). Actually pretty good. The bubble gum note is exactly the one you find in bubble tape. Medium long. Overall aftertaste makes this spicy dram quite interesting, it is just a normal dram, but that finish pays the bottle. 80 over 100.
About this bottle
Released in 2016, the Jameson Deconstructed Series highlights different aspects of the production process for their core-range whiskies. Brian Nation, the Master Distiller, has separated Jameson's signature flavor into three main components: Bold, Lively, and Round, and, accordingly, has selected different casks that highlight each component. The Bold emphasizes the contribution of the pot-still whiskey (malted and unmalted barley) to Jameson's characteristic taste. Triple distilled it's bottled at 40% ABV. Note: This is a Global Travel Retail exclusive.

Doft: röda äpplen, vanilj och kanel. Smak: söt, svagt kryddad. Även här röda äpplen. Banan? Övrigt (doftar mer än vadet smakar) -Med vatten- Doft: Samma som ovan men äpplen och kanel kommer fram bättre. Smak: mindre kryddig. Något fler nyanser.
nose is like freshly cut pumpkin. taste is weak with slight fruity taste, mild spice which takes away from bold description on label. goes down very smooth though as anyone would expect from the jameson brand.
Better than lively, worse than round. Lot of spices and with a burning finish.
Really liked the banana/vanilla smell and the apple/barley taste
2019 advent. Smells of banana tastes of oak and banana
