About Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition Irish Whiskey

As an experiment, Jameson recently sent several of its used casks to Franciscan Well, a craft Irish brewery, for use in aging the brewery’s lagers, ales, stouts and wheat beers. Franciscan Well is built on an old monastery which dates back to 1219, and much like the Jameson Distillery, Franciscan Well combines modern production techniques with rich, Irish tradition.

Once the brewery is finished with the casks (the beers are typically aged for two to six months), Jameson has them sent back to the distillery, where the stout casks are used, once again, to finish Jameson Caskmates Irish Whiskey.

As a result of this full-circle finishing process, Jameson Caskmates Irish Whiskey has a hearty aroma of coffee, cocoa and fresh barley, which leads to a palate filled with honey, vanilla cream and a slight hop flavor. The finish is rich and smooth, with pronounced notes of toffee, caramel and bitter chocolate.

Jameson Caskmates Irish Whiskey represents a truly innovative marriage of the ever-growing whiskey and beer trends.
