Nose:
Light strawberry sweetness and soft honey. Polished, almost cuddly oak offers a pinch of woodsmoke.
Palate:
Vibrant yet gentle pot still character, aided by sweet sherry and soft almost apologetic oak. The latter produces some modest but appetising spices.
Finish:
Medium length. Fruit and sharp spices interweaved.
Comment:
A limited edition produced for the Millenium shift. I guess they chose to call it Jameson instead of Redbreast for marketing reasons. Not bad at all but somehow comes across as flat compared to the Redbreasts. A little more dynamics wouldn´t have gone amiss. My third bottle of this and most definitely the last I will get for a humane sum. For the price it commands today, I can only recommend it to pot still and Jameson completists. Bottle number: 07040

It's getting a bit expensive, but there are still bargains to be found:

I was given a bottle of this back in 2002. My bottle is #15440. What is it worth? I'm not a big Irish Whiskey buff.
ReplyDeleteI just found this bottle in my bar. I forgot I got it from my friends like 10 years ago. What would be the price today?
