Jameson Bow Street 18-Year Cask Strength Irish Whiskey is a blend of three whiskeys, aged over 18 years in European and American oak casks at Midleton Distillery, and finished for six months in first-fill bourbon barrels at Bow Street, Dublin. This is the first whiskey to be matured at Bow Street since 1975, with only 84 casks produced at a time. It is bottled at cask strength and hosts a suggested retail price of $249.99.
Baked lemon, vanilla toffee, ground ginger, and snuff. Warm and fruity, with sweet toffee notes, the ginger root leads a high-intensity spice assault, though the reassuring indulgence of the rich toffee never deserts you.
Taste-wise, it’s chocolatey and caramel-forward. Actually, I think it’s a brownie in whiskey form. The sweetness comes with depth, perfect as a dessert after a two-course meal and as a nightcap.
