Tasting Notes
Jameson's 18 Year Old Bow Street is a symphony of flavors that takes you on a journey through the heart of Ireland. The nose is a rich tapestry of dark oak, melted butter, and soft toffee notes that slowly unfold, revealing hints of plum, subtle sherry spice, and a touch of grassiness. The palate is a luscious blend of caramel, treacle, and butterscotch, balanced by the warmth of oak and a hint of leather. Bramble berries, black cherry, and rolling tobacco add depth, while drying coriander spice offers a delightful contrast. The finish is a harmonious encore, with the oak influence lingering alongside rich vanilla pod earthiness and a touch of strawberry jam, leaving a lasting impression long after the last sip. This small-batch whiskey is a true labor of love, carefully matured for 18 years and finished in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels at the iconic Jameson Distillery Bow Street in Dublin.
