Jameson's "Black Barrel"
Another one of these crossover/hybrid/mutant beverages. Jameson's Irish Whiskey that spends some (?) of its aging time in bourbon barrels.
I asked Party Source if they could get a bottle in for their tasting bar, but apparently they couldn't get it done. So, I ponied up and bought a fifth without having sampled it. To date I've gotten second opinions from about eight other bourbon/Irish enthusiasts, and all of us liked it at least as well as original Jamo. Who else here has tried it? Share your thoughts, I won't be offended if you see it differently. It's not like I made the stuff, y'know?

Re: Jameson's "Black Barrel"
I'm not a fan of most finished bourbons, and wasn't a fan of the Jameson Cask Mates that I tried. That being said, I'd give it a try if I could get a pour at a bar or friend's house without committing to a bottle.

I'm nuts for the place

Re: Jameson's "Black Barrel"
I bought a bottle and it was a hit. I’m not generally a bourbon enthusiast but I thought the pairing worked.

Made another fan of the stuff this afternoon, outside a certain cigar-friendly bar many of us hang at. Wish stupid liquor laws allowed me to just bring in the dang bottle, but that wouldn't be legal.

Re: Jameson's "Black Barrel"
I don't know if I would shove anyone besides Bacon Bill, but I would definitely give it a try. I try to be an open minded curmudgeon.
