Tasting Notes

Nose

The classic Irish punch is heavily muted on first blush. I get clove, honey, spring grass, with a little bit of the copper metallic taste. The nose is very reminiscent of springtime, it’s floral, sweet, no burn of alcohol. The very end has hints of oak and wheat.

Palate

First touch of the tongue is tart but gives away immediately to honey and clove. We evolve into caramel, razzberries, brown sugar, and cobbler. It is just a lovely profile along the mouth. Extremely soft without being overly delicate, you get the profile and don’t need to cleanse your palate before sipping this.

Finish

The finish is dessert like pie crust. It finishes too quick for my preference and leaves a soft touch of clover at the end.

Expert Review

8/10

Jameson Black Barrel presents a well-crafted Irish that rewards careful attention. An accomplished expression worthy of serious consideration.
