The orange whiskey invasion has lastly crossed the pond and made it to Eire, with Jameson Orange now a factor. In contrast to Jim Beam Orange, which turned out to be an orange liqueur, Jameson Orange is a flavored whiskey — particularly Jameson with “zesty orange taste” added.
The outcomes are each wholly anticipated and pretty tepid. The nostril is shiny with candy, caramel-laced orange notes, nearer to tangerine than navel orange, however total reasonably obscure. There’s some vanilla within the combine that no less than evokes whiskey, although it will be powerful to peg it as Irish primarily based on the aroma.
The palate sees no main surprises, the low proof serving to it come throughout as reasonably watery and vague, evoking orange flowers in lieu of orange juice, with a mild sesame cookie sweetness to again it up. Some vanilla and a light-weight contact of honey grahams present a whiskeyish kick to an expertise that’s in any other case dominated totally by (considerably tepid) orange notes, not often diverging a lot from the theme. A bit bitter on the end — hardly including any pleasure.
If you determine what to do with this — and don’t say put it in a highball — let me know.
60 proof.
