Jameson Black Barrel is a triple-distilled blend of small batch grain and single pot Irish whiskey, aged for up to 16 years in double-charred barrels. According to the whiskey experts at Jameson, this process delivers rich, smooth, and sweet flavours with nutty, spicy, and vanilla notes.
If Jameson isn’t your thing, other whiskies are on offer that could also be used to commemorate the Patron saint. Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a special treat from Fortnum & Mason, with five-star reviews and prices starting from £60.
If Scotch whisky is more your thing, a bottle of Glenmorangie Original 10-Year-Old Single Malt Whisky currently has £10 off at Waitrose Cellar, reducing it to £29.50.
Easy on the taste buds, this bottle has more than 3,370 reviews on Amazon. One delighted shopper left a five-star review that said: “Jameson Black Barrel is a fantastic Irish whiskey with a deep, smooth taste. The triple distillation makes it incredibly smooth, while the rich notes of spice, vanilla, and caramel add a nice depth of flavor. Perfect for sipping neat or in cocktails.”
Another added: “Jameson Black Barrel is fancy Irish whiskey with extra flavour. They put it in these super-charred barrels, which gives it a deeper, smokier taste. Think Jameson, but better.”
Sadly, not every customer was quite so impressed, with one rating it just three-stars. They said: “For its price, I expected something a little exceptional. I consider this to be inferior to standard Jameson, which is still my favourite whiskey.”
But still a top tipple for one whisky lover, another review exclaimed: “For under £30 I’d say it a good purchase. Enjoyed the flavour and would definitely buy again.”
