I missed this article, posted back in June '08. Apparently Jameson has released a new whiskey, Jameson Signature Reserve. As of now it is available at duty free shops in England and Ireland. Eventually it will be available across Europe as well. Another newcomer is Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve.
Here is a forum discussing Jameson Signature Reserve, and another article about the release at the "Moodie Report".
If any of you have tried either of these new editions to the Jameson Reserve Series, drop us a line by leaving a comment, let us know what you think about these whiskeys.
Jameson's is a blended Irish Whiskey. The original, has no age statement (NAS). It is made from malted and unmalted Irish Barley. The barley is dried in a closed kiln fired by clean-burning anthracite coal to preserve its clean malty flavours. Unlike Scotch Jameson's does not have a Smokey or peated flavor and unlike Scotch which it double distilled Jameson is triple distilled.
Nose: fruitcake richness, Malty, dried fruit
Palate: citrus fruitiness, Light, soft, creamy, Sweetness, Vanilla
Finish: some sherry, a little bit of spice
Although I prefer Scotch, all in all I enjoyed this Whiskey and would prefer this over certain blended Scotchs.
***1/2 (out of 5*)
