Light to medium amber. The nose emits an unnerving bit of nail polish remover in the first nosing pass to the point where I changed glasses, pouring anew; with aeration, the ethyl acetate quality blew off, leaving behind a crisp, tart, baked red apple aroma that was shadowed by a vegetal quality. In the mouth, Jameson shows its best face as clean, tart, edged flavors of oak, vanilla extract, red apple, and grain combine for a very pleasant, straightforward taste experience. The aftertaste is semisweet, medium-long and almost caramel-like. The taste and the finish were sound enough to pull it through to recommended territory.(Wine Enthusiast)
