Jameson Caskmates - IPA Edition
Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition - Jameson Irish whiskey finished in craft IPA barrels, for crisp hoppy notes.
80 proof (40% ABV)
Nose - Floral, herbal hops, grapefruit citrus notes with subtle orchard fruits, complemented by wood shavings and a little nuttiness.
Taste - Hops and light citrus with sweet herbal notes and delicate spicy tones.
Finish - The lingering fresh fruit and hops give way to grains of barley and a signature smooth finish.

Jameson Caskmates - Stout Edition
Triple-distilled, blended Irish Whiskey that has been patiently finished in Irish craft beer-seasoned barrels, specifically stout beer barrels from Eight D Brewing
80 proof (40% ABV)
Tasting notes
Nose - An initial aroma of freshly cut hay is complemented by a crisp orchard fruit character - green apples and pears, with a twist of lime zest. Mild pot still spices appear, deepening from green tea to hazelnut and milk chocolate
Taste - The initial sweet mouth coating typical of the Irish pot still inclusion is quickly complemented by the subtle touch of hops and cocoa beans from the beer cask finish.
Finish - Long and sweet with milk chocolate and butterscotch.
