Having previously swapped stout beer barrels with friends in a local craft brewery, we looked to experiment with another craft beer style.
After careful exploration we settled on an IPA. And so, once again, we swapped barrels and matured Jameson in their seasoned barrels.
Our curiosity paid off. Our signature smoothness was still there, but rubbing shoulders with IPA introduced light hints of hops, fresh citrus and floral notes.
The Jameson Caskmates IPA Irish Whiskey on the nose is floral, with herbal hops, grapefruit citrus notes with subtle orchard fruits, complemented by wood shavings and a little nuttiness.
The palate shows the hops and light citrus with sweet herbal notes and delicate spicy tones.
Finishing with lingering fresh fruit and hops that give way to grains of barley and a signature Jameson smooth finish.
Since we swapped stout beer barrels with our friends at Franciscan Well Brewery in 2013 to create the Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition, we couldn’t wait to try a new beer mate with our casks.
Our whiskey makers down in our Midleton Distillery have stuck their toes in the water (don’t worry that’s just figurative) once again to create Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition - blended Irish whiskey finished in craft Irish Pale Ale-seasoned barrels. Distillery Notes
