Whiskey Wednesday (Patreon)

Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday! Today, I am choosing to share with you Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition Irish Whiskey. This was one of the first Irish Whiskeys I tried, and it's one I always go back to. Maybe, it's because the couple I was sitting next to when I first tasted it, said this was their daily whiskey drink ;-) It's smooth and a good go-to.

The casks were sent to the local craft stout brewers at Franciscan Well in Cork, Ireland, where they were subsequently used to give a stout finish to Jameson.  

More details courtesy of Master of Malt:

Nose: There's still cut grass and some fruit alongside delicious oily pot still character, but things are different here too. A different sweetness perhaps, more wood spice plus chocolate liqueur. 

Palate: Orchard fruits, great mouthfeel but the vanilla cream is less prominent, it's more fragrant 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.

The second photo is a throwback of a visit to Nomad Hotel Bar. They only carried one Irish Whiskey and it was Jameson Black Barrel. I'd have a hard time differentiate these two Jamesons, but I enjoyed this one as well and just bought a new bottle for my collection.
