Jameson Caskmates Stout Cask Edition Blended Irish Whiskey (700ml)

Like all the best conversations, the one between Jamesons Head of Whiskey Science and the Head Brewer of a local craft beer brewery, started at the bar. A swapping of whiskey and beer barrels soon after, resulted in Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition – triple-distilled, blended Irish Whiskey that has been patiently finished in Irish craft beer-seasoned barrels. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews… A very different experience to the Teeling equivalent. Here the beer is far less prevalent on nose and taste, but makes a significant, highly positive contribution to the mouthfeel. A super lush experience. 93 points – Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2022

…Corks Franciscan Well brewery borrowed some whiskey casks, but now Jameson has taken them back to make Irish whiskey aged in craft stout barrels. On the nose, roasted coffee beans, 70% chocolate, green apples, juicy cantaloupe, and a buzz of hops. The thick, creamy mouthfeel tastes of stout, with strong chocolate and coffee notes and a tight, spicy finish. Perplexingly experimental in results. A whiskey for stout drinkers? A stout for whiskey drinkers? Incomparable to other Jameson. Funny peculiar. 81 points – whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by:Jonny McCormick 2015
