Founded in 1780 in Dublin, the Jameson distillery produces some of the finest Irish whiskeys in the world. Once a bottle has been engraved the cut glass is then infilled with a special decorative silver paste. Slightly some hints of nothingness, and the spiceyness in the nose is simply not there in the mouth. Aged in flame-charred bourbon barrels, Jameson Black Barrel offers an enticing mix of butterscotch sweetness and spicy notes. Time spent maturing in these double-charred barrels lends our whiskey a unique richness, with more intensified notes of vanilla sweetness and caramel, alongside toasted wood, fruit, and warm spice.

Jameson Black Barrel is a special blend of Jameson Irish Whiskey, made with aged double-distilled spirits and matured in deep charred oak barrels. Probably the best known Irish whiskey brand around the globe, Jameson is made at Midleton in County Cork. Crafted with a high proportion of Irish pot still whiskey and a rare small batch grain whiskey, this blend undergoes a unique double charred process, giving the whiskey its signature richness and intensified smoothness. Celebrate a birthday, Christmas, wedding or anniversary, thank you gifts for your bridesmaids or best man, or just the perfect way of saying Happy Mother’s or Father’s Day. It is a tribute to our coopers, who painstakingly give their barrels an additional charring to reveal their untold richness and complexity.

I’m tempted to get a bottle of Black Bush to compare, but from my memory I seem to think Black Bush is a little more refined I could be wrong though.Personalised Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey 70cl available from Prestige Drinks, the online Whisky gift experts. The resulting whiskey has a sweet and smooth taste, with a richer flavour than that of the regular Jameson.
