Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve Irish Whiskey. Image courtesy Irish Distillers. The nose is spicy with hints of licorice and cinnamon, along with touches of banana, coconut, and plums. The taste is full of flavor, with cinnamon and red wine notes (reflecting the port pipes used in maturation), as well as a subtle fruitiness with notes of orange peel, mango, plums, and cocoa. The finish is long and sweet with hints of molasses and a slight maltiness.
