PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Jameson Black Barrel Select Reserve is a step beyond the classic Jameson, offering a richer, more dessert-oriented profile thanks to its innovative barrel aging. It balances sweet, nutty, and spicy notes with a smooth, creamy texture—making it particularly well-suited for sipping neat or in elevated cocktails like an Old Fashioned, where its toasty sweetness can shine.
Blend & Distillation: This is a triple-distilled Irish whiskey featuring a mix of single pot still and small-batch grain whiskeys.
Barrel Treatment: The whiskey matures in a blend of double-charred bourbon barrels and sherry casks, which infuses its character with richness and complexity.
Strength: Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), aligning with traditional Jameson bottlings.
Compared to Jameson’s standard offering, this expression features a higher proportion of pot still whiskey, offering increased depth and flavor.
Delivers intensified scents of butterscotch, creamy toffee, and rich fudge, a result of the double-charring process.
Additional layers include soft honey, shortbread, lemon cookie, dried figs, and prunes.
The palate is rounded and dessert-like, offering flavors such as fig, apricot, buttery pancakes, and fruity richness.
Others note flavors evoking liquid apple pie, stewed and dried fruits, and butterscotch.
Coated with a creamy, toasted sweetness, combining vanilla, warm spice, and nutty undertones. There’s also an ever-so-slight bitterness balancing the sweetness, transitioning into maple‑like tones on the close.

"The former Bourbon barrels used to mature this whiskey were “charred and double charred,” the producer says, to coax more from the barrel wood. Look for an almost piña colada-like effect: coconut and tropical fruit aromas, and a rich, honey-soaked palate that shows caramelized pineapple and dried apricot." Wine Enthusiast 92 Points
