Is Jameson IPA Edition an Approachable Whiskey?
Jameson IPA Edition is very smooth to drink.
It doesn’t offer a whole ton in terms of depth or complexity, but it does have a nice honey sweetness and light fruit notes.
This would be a good whiskey for a beginner to whiskey on a budget.
Is Jameson IPA Edition Complex?
Jameson IPA Edition doesn’t have a lot of complexity.
It’s pretty straightforward with notes of sweet honey, light fruits, citrus, and a tiny bit of oak.
What are Jameson IPA Edition’s strongest attributes/flavors?
Jameson IPA Edition’s strongest attribute would be its price tag.
For $35, you get a decent whiskey that drinks smoothly and offers a sweet and fruity flavor profile.
Is Jameson IPA Edition a go-to whiskey?
Jameson IPA Edition wouldn’t be a go-to whiskey for me. I’m more of a fan of the Jameson Stout Edition which actually has notes of the beer finish and a deeper flavor profile.
Is Jameson IPA Edition priced accurately to its quality?
Jameson IPA Edition is priced just a little above what I think its flavor profile delivers.
If this were a $25 bottle, I would be more likely to recommend it to more people who are looking for a smooth, budget whiskey.
Conclusion for Jameson IPA Edition
Jameson IPA Edition is a pretty standard whiskey that delivers a sweet and fruity flavor profile that is just a little bit overpriced for the “IPA Edition” Label.
While there are a few differences from the standard Jameson whiskey, if you’re going to get a beer edition, I would recommend going with the Stout Edition.
