Description
This Jameson 22 Year Old was aged in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks. The result is a whiskey with a complex and nuanced flavor profile. The bourbon and sherry casks add a great sense of richness and texture, but they do not overpower the fruity pot still whiskey at the core of the blend.
This Jameson 22 Year Old was built around a core of fruity pot still whiskey, the elegant old blend was aged in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks. More than two decades in oak have added vivid aromas of toasted nuts, chocolate and coffee beans to Jamesons characteristic orchard fruits and vanilla. An excellent example of the blenders craft that shows a perfect balance of cask influence and spirit character. This limited-edition bottling is a must-have for Irish whiskey collectors and anyone who appreciates a fine dram.
Nose:
Chocolate dipped honeycomb with orange zest, charred oak and vanilla spice. Dried apricots with hints of ginger and nutmeg add to the array of aromas.
Palate:
More cooked white fruits, mango jam, papaya, dried apricots, golden sultanas, cr*me caramel, and chocolate fudge brownies with whipped cream. That nuttiness re-emerges with marzipan, nutmeg and ground ginger, green coffee beans, and a drop of imperial stout. The bourbon and sherry casks bring a great sense of richness and texture but they dont overwhelm the fruity pot still whiskey at the core of the blend. Very nicely done.
Taste:Woodland spices and soft oak tannins. Waves of vanilla evolve over time. Sherry nuttiness combined with creamy textured fudge, working in balance with the pot still spices and floral grain undertones.
