Tasting Notes

Nose

Sherry, buttery caramel, honey, vanilla, stewed pear and peach, cinnamon, ginger, apricot jam — richer than standard Jameson

Palate

Creamy, buttery — sherry, strawberries and cream, honey, orchard fruit, butterscotch, banana, copper and spice — the 80% pot still giving it body

Finish

Medium — strawberries and cream, spice, butterscotch, gentle copper — the bartender's choice for a reason

First Impressions

Jameson Crested — the bartender's Jameson. 80% pot still, 20% grain. More sherry cask. First bottled Bow Street 1963. 40%.

Tasting

Sherry and caramel nose. Creamy palate with strawberries and butterscotch. Medium finish with copper and spice. The step up from standard Jameson.

The Verdict

Jameson Crested earns a 7.5 — a clear step up from standard Jameson at just £30. The 80% pot still and sherry influence add genuine complexity. Between Jameson and Redbreast, exactly where it should be.
