Jameson Gold Reserve

40%

Blend of Jameson, No Age Statement

American Oak casks, virgin

Color : gold, gold, gold !

Nose : oak…in the middle of a field ! The cereals really hit the nose hard. It’s overpowering, yet not unpleasant.

Palate : malted, cereal, young wood, oak, banana, corn cream ! The palate is way more diversified than what the nose predicted. The texture is quite surprising for a 40% ABV whiskey.

Finish : short and dry, stops abruptly.

Comments : I’ve been told this is the best Jameson under the 18yo. This was an impulsive buy for me, and when I got home and looked at the etiquette, I was a bit disappointed : no age statement, 40% ABV, no information about what was in the bottle…. I then learned that the habit doesn’t make the monk ! This is a very fine whiskey and should not be put aside for stupid reasons !
