Jameson Caskmates is an intriguing release. Having sent some of their casks to the local craft stout brewers at Franciscan Well, the casks were returned to Midleton where they were subsequently used to give a stout finish to Jameson!
We tasted it before it was available in the UK when we visited Cork just before St. Patrick's Day 2015, and we know that some of the fine folk at Irish Distillers were worried that it may be seen as a bit of a gimmick. Perhaps to an extent it is, but more importantly, it works - a worthwhile experiment that's produced a unique and interesting Irish whiskey.
There's still cut grass and some fruit alongside delicious oily pot still character, but things are different here too. Is it sweeter? A different sweetness perhaps, more wood spice plus chocolate liqueur. A shift of emphasis.
Orchard fruits, great mouthfeel but the vanilla cream is less prominent, it's more fragrant (hoppy?) and floral on the palate with a touch of bitterness.
Again familiar, but different, that different complexion of spice with chocolate from the nose lingers briefly.
An interesting twist on an old favourite, and a great gift for Irish whiskey and stout fans alike!
It's OK but was disappointed overall. Thought this would be really different from standard Jameson but it's just too similar. Can't see the point.
I am definitely a Scotch man...but 2 bottles of this in I am starting to question my position. sweet rich chocolate and coffee, smooth rounded and moreish..Beer and chaser in the same bottle .. what a good idea, I think I'll have another.
Brilliant stuff!
Lovely blend. Creamy and smooth. Skeptical at first but loved it. Now on my third bottle (Spread over time) Be warned goes down a little too well and too quick
Been dying to try this for ages and it doesn’t fall short , it’s loverly
