Irish/Canadian Whisky Reviews

I happened to find your blogsite when I was looking for a review of the John L. Sullivan ‘The Ten Count’ Irish Whiskey, which I happened to see on the liquor shelves at a local market.
I scanning your listings of Irish whiskey reviews for http://www.spokanewhiskeyclub.com, I noticed you listed a review of the Jameson Select Reserve Black Barrel Irish Whiskey. When this product ‘was’ available, I happened to buy some and was ‘smitten’. A few more bottles, and it had been replaced with Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey, no longer a Jameson Select Reserve. I have served both to close friends who, as I, enjoy the whiskies of Ireland and there is a noted difference between the two, with the preference leaning toward the Select Reserve.
I reached out to Jameson.ie to question why the change, and the answer offered was that they are
‘the same product.
Fortunately, I covet a small liquor store in a nearby town which has more whiskey selections per square foot than any other store in the metro area, and they still have a case of the Select Rewserve Black Barrel in their back room, so I visit them every few months when I have a few dollars left from my monthly pension and SS checks and buy two bottles for ‘the future’ when what is left is gone.
I’m surprised your group has not reviewed the replacement Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey and compared the two. I’d certainly be interested in reading your comments!
Slainte’!
