Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey is a hugely popular Irish blend, renowned for its affinity with ginger ale. It's a default springboard into the fascinating world of Irish whiskey, with a quality that has improved massively in the last 10-15 years. This whiskey has been one of Jim Murray's favourites, with 95 points in the Whisky Bible 2013. On the nose, it's a mellow pot still whiskey with toasted wood and sherry undertones. The taste is smooth and sweet with woody and nutty tones. It's incredibly smooth, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a smooth whiskey.
