Ireland, 40%
Caskmates Series is the result of a collaboration with our neighbours at Eight D Brewing.They borrow our casks to age their fine Irish stout and we then finish our signature whiskey in these stout seasoned oak barrels.The result?The classic smoothness of Jameson with notes of coffee,chocolate and butterscotch.
Nose: 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.
Palate: 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.
Finish: Again familiar, but different, that different complexion of spice with chocolate from the nose lingers briefly.
