“Chocolate, coffee and mild hops on the nose. You take a sip and wonder when it’s going to kick and...it doesn’t! I’ve had a lot of good scotch and this is possibly one of the smoothest, creamiest whiskies I have ever tried. Single malt purists might take issue with the relative lack of depth here, but everyone needs a whiskey in their collection that is this supremely drinkable. At this price it might be my next daily tipple for a while. Intriguingly, leaves my mouth and throat with a familiar bitter cocoa taste akin to finishing off a few pints of Guinness. Not that I’m complaining.”

Description

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.

Reviews for Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition

My new sipper if it hangs around long enough.

I can say that in 30+ yrs of drinking whisk(e)y I've finished more bottles of Jameson whisky than any other brand. When this bottling came out I was a little skeptical as to how good it would be. Well eventually I caved in through curiosity and purchased a bottle and I'm pleased that I did. I love the citrus profile of Jamesons but this pairing proves how good the basic spirit is as it totally changed in a great way. I will defo be purchasing more, 5*.

Drunk review

The Budweiser of whiskey. Bland no finish . Blackbush, Yellowspot, redbreast. Nuff said (yes I had several whiskeys before writing this)

Doesn't work - more of a gimmick

In my opinion, they were right to be concerned about this being a "gimmick", rather than an attempt to make a great whiskey. Where Glenfiddich have succeeded (with their "IPA" release), Jameson have completely failed. The flavour combination just doesn't work for me - it adds almost a bitterness to the whiskey which clashes with the signature Jameson smoothness. Great marketing idea, poor execution

Unique and unique

Fantastic. It smells and taste are delightful. Yes, I'm using the word 'delightful' for a whiskey. The stout notes are detectible, but not overpowering. The finish complements the already wonderful Jameson product.

A fulsom flavour

A lovely bottle of whiskey to which I saw then purchased in Budapest in duty free. I'd buy again.
