This Irish whiskey is a blend of 12-year pot-still whiskey and 5-year grain whiskey. It's aged in extra-charred bourbon barrels and non-chill filtered. This Jameson expression is also believed to be the international version of their Select Reserve Black Barrel, which is only available in the US.

Tried this along side the new Black Barrel expression and the difference is astounding. The new Black Barrel is much harsher arm rougher while this is smooth, tasty and very drinkable neat. I’m sad to hear this line is no longer available. I found a hidden stash at an out of the way corner liquor shop and no one knew what it was. I bought the whole lot...I’ll shed a tear when I drink my last dram of it.
Much better than I expected - it's basically Ireland meets Louisville. I love bourbon so this was enjoyable - some charred oak, vanilla, maybe some cherries, cinnamon and pecans. It's well-bodied and the finish is smooth. Cheers!
Nose: - sugar cookie - sweet - rounded Taste: - simple - sweet - boring - rounded
Smooth and forgettable. Not a lot of character, but pleasant enough for price.
Nose: Sweet, vanilla Taste: Vanilla, shortbread, nutty end
Quite sweet but it's my 1st real whiskey in the collection
