Nose is thin and harsh, mostly turpentine but with just a bit of cereal grain and smoke. Palate is virtually the same - thin, bitter, dry, with cereal grains and a whisp of smoke. Close is hot and dry. You could politely call it black pepper, but it would be the stuff you got in paper envelopes with a cheap 2am carryout order three years ago that you recovered from the back of the silverware drawer. This is suitable only for mixing, and with regular Jameson already filling that space for a much lower price I just don't see a useful niche for this. Dollar for dollar, Black Barrel and Black Bush are comparable cost, but monstrously better. I guess if you need whisky for an Irish coffee, and you're in the one liquor store in the world that doesn't stock Jameson or Bushmills, this would do the job.
