Expensive and unremarkable, even lacking in flavor. Perhaps the bottle I sampled had been open too long, as I can't agree with the official tasting notes. Mostly, I was annoyed at the bartender who let me order this when I could have had a good Scotch or Cognac for the same price.

Very well-rounded, similar to regular Jameson but far more refined. Very oily, it grew on me as I drank it.
My all-time favorite.
