This little safety hack takes about two seconds and can help keep all ten fingers where they belong.

Then to a glass with ice cubes, add your Jameson Stout Edition, balsamic syrup, a couple of dashes of orange bitters, and orange zest. A stout beer tends to often have a similar flavor profile, albeit on the darker end of the spectrum, showing things like a coffee bean, licorice, dark chocolate, and more. It could have easily been an over-the-top affair, aged too long in stout barrels and thus burying the nuance of the whiskey. Finish: Again familiar, but different, that different complexion of spice with chocolate from the nose lingers briefly. If It was still just Cooley, Bushmills and Midleton (Jameson) on the island I don’t think the Jameson Caskmates Stout Finish would have ever materialized, and that would have been a sad sad thing because it’ss quite tasty.Outside of the obvious, which is that it is not made in the United States, Irish whiskey has several differences. We’re talking about Jameson’s Caskmates family of whiskies, which includes a stout version and an IPA version (not to be confused with India Pale Ale, we’re talking Irish Pale Ale here). This particular bottle is wrapped in a darker black background label (as opposed to the bright yellowed version on the standard edition) that bears the name and arms of Jameson.

When a local craft brewer borrowed our casks to age their fine Irish stout it gave us an idea: why not finish our own precious whiskey in the stout beer seasoned oak barrels? There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.Produced in our distillery in Midleton, County Cork, from malted and unmalted Irish barley, Jameson’s blended whiskeys are triple-distilled, resulting in exceptional smoothness.

I know it’s a common theme from me this month to talk about non-chill filtering and higher proof, but I can’t help thinking this would go from a good whiskey to an excellent whiskey if it was at least 92 proof and non-chill filtered – I truly think it would soar. And here, with Caskmates, you get those flavor injections plus the evening affect oak and barrel-aging so often provides. The grains are dried using natural gas kilns (unlike the peat fired kilns used in Scotland), fermented, and then distilled three times in batches within their small pot stills.

French company Pernod Ricard later purchased the Irish Distiller’s Group in 1988, and continue to own the Middleton distillery and produce Jameson Irish whiskey from there to this day. Palate: Orchard fruits, great mouthfeel but the vanilla cream is less prominent, it's more fragrant (hoppy? The stout casks added some much needed depth and richness to an otherwise sweeter and more cheerful spirit, and the end result is pretty darn good.The Guinness Whiskey Cocktail from The Feed Feed is on the sweeter side but has a nutty depth of flavor that is heavenly. I am asking as I have only sampled the 40% and found it rather underwhelming and am thinking perhaps the added 3% ABV yours might have been is the reason. Following some hard times with the American prohibition and two world wars reducing the demand for their product, Jameson merged with their long time rivals to create the Irish Distiller’s Group conglomerate in an attempt to reduce production costs by combining their efforts. To be deemed Irish whiskey, the distillation and aging of the whiskey must occur in either the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.
