Jameson Orange review

Tasting Notes

About:

60 proof (30% ABV), Triple distilled with Orange flavor, 750ml, $29 msrp.
Appearance:
This flavored whiskey is very light in color, almost yellow in color.
Nose:
There is a very strong scent of orange, especially strongly of orange peel.
Palate:
There is definitely a very strong orange peel flavor, with just a hint of smokiness, and a slight vanilla finish.
Finish:
Comments:
I’ll be honest – my very first reaction to this was not great. But when I went back to it again, it is a bit better. While it definitely has a strong orange flavor, it seems a bit more orange peel than the flavor of the inner fruit itself. I don’t think this is something most would want to drink just straight or on the rocks, but it would be a very good mixer with several different cocktail combinations.

After receiving a bottle of 15-year-old Scotch whisky as a birthday gift, he embarked on a yearly ritual of exploring a new brand of Scotch whisky. James thoroughly enjoys sampling each new brand and age, comparing them with previous selections. While not a whiskey or writing expert, he hopes his "average guy" perspective will resonate with those starting their whiskey journey, providing them with the guidance he missed out on.
