Jameson Stout Edition Irish Whiskey, 700ml

Product Information

Personally, I felt like adding water to this pour took away from its profile and would much rather enjoy it neat. In the world of wine, beer, and spirits, there are two things that Dublin is primarily known for: Jameson Irish Whisky and dark beer. 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. A swapping of whiskey and beer barrels soon after, resulted in Jameson Stout Edition - triple-distilled, blended Irish Whiskey that has been patiently finished in Irish craft beer-seasoned barrels.

And in those instances where the barrel finishing process has done the bulk of the work imparting flavors into the spirit, those barrel notes are usually the ones that get the axe. Which makes a collaboration between Jameson and a local craft stout beer distillery a no brainer, and the Jameson Caskmates Stout edition is the result. When coffee is brewed cold, far less acid is extracted from the coffee grounds, removing much of the bitterness that some people find off-putting. Coming out of this review, Jameson Irish Whiskey Stout Edition is as advertised: smooth; approachable; flavorful; cost efficient.

The Guinness Whiskey Cocktail from The Feed Feed is on the sweeter side but has a nutty depth of flavor that is heavenly. Like all the best conversations, the one between Jameson’s Head of Whiskey Science and the Head Brewer of a local craft beer brewery, started at the bar. Since, the distillery has teamed up with a handful of breweries, from Bale Breaker in Washington state to Revolution Brewing in Chicago.

In this case, the stout beer flavors remained strong and present despite the addition of a bit of ice and water. Orange and chocolate are a perfect match, and the Boozy Dark Delight cocktail recipe from BBC Good Food is a good example of that. If you wait too long, you're going to miss out on a sweet discount that ensures your kitchen will be well kitted out for less. A sip of Jameson Stout Edition and then a sip of your beer allows the flavour of Jameson Stout Edition to be fully appreciated both on its own and then as a pairing.

The water comes directly from the Dungourney river that flows through the middle of the distillery property.
