Jameson have released a celebration of the traditional style of Irish whiskey making after which it is named. Crafted from a mashbill of malted and unmalted barley, it is then triple distilled for a rich, unmistakable silkiness. This Five Oak Cask Release is matured in a combination of three different types of virgin oak (Irish, European and American) in addition to ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. The finished result is a whiskey that is equal parts complex and smooth. Tasting notes shared by Jameson:
NOSE
Wood-driven spices of cinnamon and nutmeg intertwine with toasted oak, sweet honeycomb, and salted caramel. Zesty fruit notes linger with dairy fudge, butterscotch, and vanilla complementing the earthy, woodland notes and ripe fruits.
TASTE
Rich, dark chocolate, spicy toffee, and ground cinnamon with hints of ginger and orange peel. The combination of oaks adds intricate smoked-wood tones with delicate tannins, working in balance with the Pot Still’s silky texture.
FINISH
The delicate fruits fade slowly, leaving spices and oak to linger on the palate.
Certainly looking forward to trying this one asap!
Jameson Single Pot Still is available online and in selected Irish retail with a price of €60 on Jameson's website www.midletondistillerycollection.com
