Jameson Caskmates was born from the collaboration between Jameson and a local Brewery near Cork.
Jameson triple distilled whiskey is aged in craft IPA-seasoned oak barrels and while the signature smoothness is very much intact, notes of hops, citrus and floral confirm the IPA influence. IPA Edition is a head-turning, modern Irish whiskey.
Like all the best conversations, the one between Jameson's 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 Series with the IPA and Stout Edition. Jameson whiskey, triple-distilled, which has been patiently finished in Irish craft beer-seasoned barrels.
Nose: Floral, herbal hops, grapefruit citrus notes with subtle orchard fruits, complemented by wood shavings and a little nuttiness.
Taste: Hops and light citrus with sweet herbal notes and delicate spicy tones.
Finish: The lingering fresh fruit and hops give way to grains of barley and a signature smooth finish.
