Jameson 12 Year
"Old Irish Whiskey"
Jameson's seemingly ever expanding line of fine whiskeys makes for an exciting taste tour. The 12 year Jameson Irish Whiskey does not let down. There is a bit more sherry used in this 12 year whiskey, and a great amount of the Jameson pot still. This whiskey was first introduced to the public in 1996, and has become a favorite whiskey of many.
This Irish whiskey has an awful lot going for it, it has a moderate price range, and a strong and reputable name behind it. Jameson 12 year old Irish Whiskey makes for a great special occasion whiskey, it's got a very universal taste, and there is very little that is unpleasing to the palate from this whiskey.
Nose: Rich Pot Still mixes nicely with a quiet sherry. The Oak does not overpower this Irish Whiskey, however there are vanilla notes spread out within the fruit and spice of this whiskey.
Taste: Big, big pot still characteristics in this 12 year old whiskey, but there is an almost coffee like flavor that pull thru the still. There is a slight honey sweetness that gives way to fruit and caps off wonderfully with a sherry end.
Finish: The finish on the Irish whiskey is long and lasting, providing no real surprises, just great pleasure. You will still note the pot still and coffee, with a little visit of cocoa. The very last is a bitter oak and grain barley to boot. Very complex, very satisfying.
