95 points and 'Top 50 Spirits 2012,' Wine Enthusiast: "As 'the master blender's special selection of very old Jameson Irish Whiskey,' this bottling represents. Rich honey color, tropical fruit scent with a touch of thick caramel. The flavors are bright and vibrant--lychee, banana, orange peel, tempered by a wash of honey--and the finish is intriguing and dry with nuances of white chocolate, banana, leather and nutmeg. Beautiful. abv: 40%. (Mar 2012)"
****Highly Recommended, F. Paul Pacult Spirit Journal: "Medium amber hue, spotless clarity. Wow, the dried tropical fruit (pineapple and guava, especially) scent takes command immediately in the initial whiffs; additional time in glass stimulates deeper aromas of pine nut, apricot, pears, honeysuckle, old leather and orange blossom -- a fabulously sensual bouquet. Entry taste is lusciously gripping and honeyed, with earmark flavors of toffee, sweet breakfast cereal and orange marmalade; midpalate turns nearly profound in terms of depth of flavor, in particular, the long, languid tastes of almond butter and nougat are highly aspects. Finishes dusty dry, astringent, refreshing and intensely oaky. Serious whiskey drinkers only need apply. (Mar 2012)"
A rare whiskey matured in hand picked oak casks. Mixed sherry notes, aromatic oils, touch of wood, spice, toffee; wonderfully mellow, smooth, and full of complex flavors -- toffee, spice, hints of wood; a gentle sherry nuttiness, vanilla -- all coming together to give a unique sensation. A long lingering finish draws the theme of wood, spice, and sweet toffee to its conclusion.
