Jameson's 12 Year

Year sampled: 2009

About: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Color: Deep rust (green bottles should be outlawed)

Nose: Fudge, pear, mustard, peanut, caramel

Palate: Full, chewy, ripe

Finish: Mint, honey, oily, sherry, tartness, pinch of salt, deep sink into glands of mouth

Overall: This is a rich, vibrant and extremely tasty Irish blend. The bite of the classic Jameson's with no age statement is mellowed just the right amount. (I've never had the 18 year, but I can't imagine it being as good.)
