Ароматът му беше приятен, леко пикантен, дървесен, с нотки ванилия, леко тревист, спомен за „копър“, препечен сладкиш и карамел. На вкус уискито беше сладникаво и леко пикантно, с дървесни нотки и спомен за ядки. Финалът бе със средна продължителност. Леко маслен, мед и сушени плодове. Уискито определено си заслужава и скоро възнамерявам отново да го вкуся, но при спокойни условия, в които пълноценно ще обследвам качествата му.
Оценка: 86-87/100. Цената за бутилка от 700 мл. е около 80 лв. За нещастие уискито не попада сред най-разпреостранените продукти на Jameson в заведенията, затова ако го откриете и сте в настроение за нещо по-особено, не се колебайте и му дайте шанс.
П.С. Статията е писана в зората на есен 2014г. Вече клоним към зима 2016г. и ми се струва, че е редно да подготвя така обещаното продължение.
Jameson Gold reserve whiskey
While I’m still on the subject of Irish whiskey and in particular that of the colleague John Jameson, let me present you the special blend – Jameson Gold reserve, which was the second more interesting whiskey which I had the opportunity to taste on the Whiskey fest. Gold reserve is referred to as premium blend and contains distillates aged between 12 and 18-20 years, with prevailing the younger ones maybe. Two things impressed me, not counting the taste. The first one is that the whiskey was initially named Jameson XO and was intended for the Asian duty-free stores, and the second one concerns the fact that some of the whiskeys in the blend are aged in new American Oak barrels. This undoubtedly reflects on the aroma and taste of the whiskey. Despite the limited time during the class I managed, at least partially, to feel the spirit of the drink.
On the photo, you can see Gold in the glass on the light wood. Before proceeding to it I will mention that on the tasting I skipped the standard Jameson. I decided that the time is limited and I headed to the other two whiskeys. However, my nose caught a nice sherry and caramel odor, emanating from it. But to get back to Gold. The aroma was pleasant, slightly spicy, woody, vanilla, slightly grassy, with a hint of „dill“, toasted cake and caramel. The taste of the whiskey was sweetish and slightly spicy, with woody notes and remembrance of nuts. The finish was of medium length. Lightly butter, honey and dried fruits. The whiskey definitely worth it and I intend to taste it again soon, but in favourable conditions in which I will fully test its qualities. Assessment: 86-87/100.
The price for a bottle of 0,700 ml is about 80 lv. Unfortunately, the whiskey is not among the most popular products of Jameson in the bars, so if you come across it somewhere, don’t hesitate and give it a chance.
