Jameson Irish Whiskey

A wafting of grain alcohol is the first thing that meets the nostrils followed by honey, pear and ambiguous overripe orchard fruit. A bit of malt and citrus are wandering around in there with a strange dusty quality running throughout. It’s a light and clean-tasting beverage that starts out with malt, vanilla and under ripe citrus. Included in this flavour package are some grassy notes, cocoa and an ambiguous fruit that borders on a banana with the alcohol making a strong statement, especially in the back end, with just a touch of caramel sliding around. It has a brief finish with malt and alcohol with a touch of oak and earth.
