Jameson Crested Whiskey is one of many expressions from the New Midleton Distillery in Dublin, Ireland. This expression was originally titled “Crested Ten” but Jameson decided to drop the “Ten” from the title. I am going to guess it had to do with it being a non-age stated whiskey. The actual age of this whiskey is 3+ years which is pretty much the minimum. It is bottled at 40% abv and aged in ex-bourbon and sherry cask.
Crested has a nice pot still malt flavor, good sherry notes, and is well balanced. It is smooth to drink neat, would do well on the rocks, or in an Irish Coffee. I am not a fan of Jameson expressions or most of New Midleton’s rename cousins in more expensive bottles, but this one is good. As of this review it is the best of all Jameson labeled whiskey I have sampled. I might buy a bottle if I had to go a party in Southie (Irish section of Boston). Hell’s Kitchen (former Irish section of NYC) is now all hipster millennial snowflakes so they can go drink flavored Vodka.
Priced around $45 and good stuff for a Jameson label.
