Jameson Black Barrel описывают как сладкий, фруктовый виски с ванилью, карамелью и ореховыми нотами, часто отмечая хорошее соотношение цены и качества. В отзывах встречаются и критические замечания — водянистость, горечь и спиртуозность.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов Jameson Black Barrel описывается как сладкий и фруктовый виски с выраженными нотами ванили и карамели, к которым добавляются ореховые, шоколадные, древесные и пряные оттенки. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают хорошее соотношение цены и качества и то, что он воспринимается как шаг вперёд по сравнению с обычным Jameson. Нос часто описывают как свежий и сладкий — с ванилью, карамелью, тоффи, мёдом, фруктами (яблоко, груша), а также орехами и лёгкими цветочными нотами; во вкусе упоминаются мягкость и сладость, ваниль, карамель, тоффи, фрукты, орехи, шоколад и специи, а финиш — от среднего до средне-длинного, тёплый, иногда с пряностью, горечью или цитрусовой цедрой.
Вместе с тем в отзывах есть и заметная критика: часть текстов говорит о водянистости и нехватке глубины, о спиртуозности или горечи спирта в вкусе и финише, о «плоском» вкусе, а также о разочаровании на фоне обычного Jameson. Некоторые отмечают, что виски простой и не самый сложный, хотя и приятный для повседневного употребления, а отдельные отзывы называют его средним или не стоящим рекомендации. Таким образом, тексты в целом сходятся на сладком фруктово-ванильном профиле и доступной цене, но расходятся в оценке глубины, тела и общей выразительности.

Fruity, sweet smell, nuts, vanilla, alcohol mixes well. In the mouth some acetone, spices, white pepper, vanilla, young wood, green apple. A pleasant sweet taste persists in the mouth.

great value for money. very fruity with hints of caramel and vanilla. on palate there is another shot of plums with nuttiness from behind. finish is gentle, warm and somewhat spicy
It really captured the feel of an Irish single pot steel wonderfully. But is it because the aging period is short? There is a downside in that the bitterness of the alcohol is present in the taste and finish.

a very good dram for an assembly of 12ne years, with intense woody scents!
it's not the same as Special Reserve, or maybe I had a worse batch. The taste was quite flat compering to the other.

Typical Jameson, but with a little more sherry flavors and a lot of bourbon sweetness (vanilla). In the taste creamy vanilla caramel and again sherry flavors. Finish is medium long, a bit oily. Vanilla stays for a long time. Maybe not the most complex Jameson, but highly recommended.
Little too dusty or leathery on the nose and a tad bitter, too much green tea

Nice daily whiskey. It is easy to drink with good aromas and complexity. Also fresh and sweet even though its nuttiness. A must have.

| Нос | 70 | At the first sniff strikes a caramel, vanilla aroma with a lot of green apple. After a few sniffs sweet toasty and nutty aromas make theirselves clear while the vanilla and apple fading a little bit. Almost like a 'krokanli kek coffeandmore' or 'Snickers'. If you try really hard, you can sometimes get acetone notes. It is very pleasant. It emits a nice sweet scent around the room. |
| Вкус | 65 | At the first glance you definitely feel the sweetness at its peak. More of a vanilla sweet then caramel. It is a bit dry, I wouldn't say it is very oily. Alcohol is also very noticeable but not overwhelming. While its getting diluted on top of your tongue, I start to notice some nutty flavors but not very intense. At the top of the tongue, green apple again. While swallowing, green apple and nutty aromas fill your mouth and nose. |
| Финиш | 63 | Nuts, followed by alcohol and some vanilla then orange peel bitterness with just a bit of sweetness. |
Well this took me by surprise and I prefer it to the normal bottling.

| Нос | 79 | It's got that unmistakable Irish chewing gum note. Lots of vanilla and cinnamon. Some dried fruits and tobacco. Slightly toasted brown bread. |
| Вкус | 83 | Well this is the standard bottles more adventurous cousin. More fruit and toasted notes. This has more of a bite than your regular bottling and there is very little spice to think of but it doesn't harm it. |
| Финиш | 81 | A medium finish and eventually as it approaches the death some spice arrives but it's very minimal. |
The smell pleases, although he is not particularly complex. Unfortunately, the slight alcohol touch bothers something despite only 40%. In the mouth you do not notice the alcohol, again lacks some depth, but the impression is harmonious. The finish fits the overall impression. I can drink the whiskey with pleasure, even if he lacks the tension. The famous Irish gentleness I search here but in vain.

Blend of single Irish pot still and single grain whiskey. Triple distilled. Matured in double-charred ex-bourbon American oak barrels. Chill-filtered. Coloured. Thick slowly forming primary legs. Mid-size slow secondary legs. Rare trailing droplets. Develops sweetness and bitterness after spending some time in the glass. Blend of single Irish pot still and single grain whiskey.

A mild blend with aromas of sherry, nuts and fruit and a soft aftertaste.
Tasted at Tunsberg Whiskey Festival 2019. A decent Irish.

The aroma of fruit, vanilla and wood. The taste of oak and vanilla. Ginger and toffee in the aftertaste.
A nice Irish easy sipper. I’m getting dried fruit, coffee, oak, chocolate cream, nuts, maybe almonds. A great budget dram. A bit lighter and sweeter than the Bushmills black barrel and a step up from the standard Jameson.

This is marginal better towards to basic Irish offerings, provide deeper flavor, more fruit, longer finish. I do recommend skip all those and do yourself a favour and buy black label.At the same night drink along to Glenlivet 15, similar flavor profile, Jameson black is thinner, less depth, but similar on flavor wheel and on sales £25 compare to £37 I paid for a Glenlivet on sales as well is a good buy.

Big step up from the basic Jameson, I would say on par with black bush while you can find black barrel a bit cheaper here in the Czech republic.
At first, slightly sweet, caramel aromas. Then more dry. More bitterness. Oak barrel.

I tried it once with a frozen glass, and I lost all the flavor of my dram. If not, very nice flavor for a low price.

Much better than the standard Jameson bottling. PLV top. Typical entry-level whiskey.
Nose: Caramel. Fruitiness. Some floral notes. Honey mixing with butterscotch did a very sweet aroma. Some spices and malt. Palate: Slightly smoky but less than expected. Caramel again but pleasant and not too syrup-like. Spices coming in nicely and citrus on its way down. Copper taste as well giving it a fuller feel. Finish: Medium. Malt strongest here. Fruit lingering with some caramel. Slight alcohol burn on the way down but it’s Jameson. C'est la Vie. Overall Score: 80. Pretty good! I think Jameson does an excellent job marketing this whiskey to be above the rest but it’s relatively average to me. Nothing that elevates it to the top tier club. Not bad by any means but it certainly isn’t phenomenal. However, if I were to make a choice between regular Jameson or Black Barrel, I’d go with the regular.
A nice smooth whiskey, tastes almost like bonfire night in a bottle. Toffee apples, burnt wood. Caramel. Very different from most other whiskey's I've tried.
Amber color. Oily structure.

| Нос | 82 | Fresh fruit of the orchard. Juicy red apples. Some citrus in the background. Red apple peel. Red apple sliced and sprinkled with cinnamon. Then comes the pear. Traces of white pepper. Generally pleasant, fresh and fruity. |
| Вкус | 81 | Sweet cream. Vanilla. Caramel. Slightly dense structure. Then milk chocolate, maybe dessert. A bit of bitterness. Oak, but not overdone. Some cocoa. Spices come in. Light spiciness. Black pepper. Dessert chocolate again. |
| Финиш | 83 | Cocoa. Dessert chocolate. The sweetness is mixed with a delicate bitterness. Sweetish cream, but not bright, just cocoa. A roasted barrel, but in a good sense, without exaggerated bitterness. Maybe some coffee. Spices. Ginger and white pepper. Medium-long finish. |
A delicious Irish beer with a very good price-performance ratio.

This whiskey is getting smarter, friendlier, fruity. The oxygen of the bottle, which has been open for a few months, obviously does him good and his own experience with many barrel strongens relativizes the impression of strength. Easy drinking in pure culture.
Alcohol: 40% Aroma: Classic scent, a little wood, cedar. In a blind test, I could guess bourbon. (75 pts) Taste: Taste sweet, slightly woody, surprisingly pleasant. Vanilla, liquorice, cocoa, honey. (80 pts) Points: 78 Summary: It's not exactly my cup of coffee because of perfume, but it's not really bad in the end. Tasted at a family party.
A bit different from classical Jameson but not far away

First off, this is 28 euro at the moment. It's exceptional value. it has some complexity with fruit, wood, leather, chocolate and spice. Finish is not long and at 40% it feels juicier and a bit more fun. It is streets ahead of the regular and cask finish Jameson whiskies. Definitely, the right direction for the company and hope to get aged, higher ABVs Black Barrels in the future. Fingers crossed
In the aroma right from the start, a rush of sweetness, sweet to honeyed grain, gradually vanilla and caramel are added. It is very sweet in aroma, very pleasant, but at the same time not so sweet (you shouldn't sniff it for a long time, then it might start to lick your throat). In the taste, sweet grain, then the grain character becomes more evident, a cereal bar with honey, sweet fruit, soft, sweet apples with a little spice. In the finish, it loses a little in taste, sweetness, but at times with a feeling of artificiality, as if the final impression doesn't matter much - it's already gracious there and I don't have to try any further and we can just enjoy it. Overall, it's a well-made, drinkable whiskey, sweetly pleasant, not so much overly sweet, usable for such ordinary drinking in a bar with non-whiskers. It doesn't have much more to offer, but it doesn't try to, so it's ok.
Good price performance ratio
Select Reserve are the key words, and cask batches since 2013 are showing a broad inconsistency [on WB]. Matured in sherry & bourbon casks, its reported [on the tinter-web] to have a high proportion of Irish pot still & small batch grain whiskey?! What does that mean - 50/50? Or less? N: No smoke whatsoever. I soon tire of the vanilla-driven spirit after the fruits have lifted away. T: A lovely soft mouthfeel. The main story is one of a soft & predictable bourbon-vanilla youthful spirit-led journey, but the honeyed mouthfeel keeps some interest alive. F: Simple yet lingering, the caramel appears very obvious now like a thick blanket coat on top. Bitter vanilla notes [E150a?] conclude. C: Fairly simple inoffensive dram. The mouthfeel is the only clear highlight. Scores a C-
Black Barrel has a quite unique trait that I rarely find in other whiskeys. The first nose brings up cherry and the unique wood glue/solvent smell. This then develops into sweet honey and vanilla. From time to time I also find charred wood and toasted nuts in the nose. That being said, the mouth is a bit spirity and the finish is quite forgettable. 75 points.
Very good, typical Jameson with a bit more sweetness to it.

For the price you can definitely say nothing, the nose is just a bit behind, which is no wonder in the area. Fruity, marzipan, nice.

Dissapointed. From my memory the regular Jameson was fuller and tastier. I dont get people saying this is full and creamy, it simply isnt (watery and bland) Now I understand why they have a CS version of this. Not recommended.
