Adamant 2.0

Expensive and unremarkable, even weak on flavor. Maybe the bottle I tried had been open too long because I can't agree with the tasting notes. Mostly, I was angry at the bartender who let me order this when I could have got a good Scotch or Cognac for the same price.

Very balanced, like regular Jameson but much more eloquent. Very oily, grew on me as I drank it.
