Whiskey Finished In Craft Beer Barrels – Triple Distilled
Jameson Stout Edition is a modern interpretation of classic Irish whiskey, born from a meeting between craftsmanship and creativity. The whiskey was created through a collaboration between Jameson and a local craft brewery, where they experimented with maturing traditional Jameson Irish Whiskey in casks that had previously held dark stout. The result is a whiskey with a distinctive character – smooth, rich, and layered with subtle notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee, blending beautifully with Jameson’s signature softness and gentle sweetness.
The producer behind it is Jameson, a name synonymous with Irish whiskey heritage. Founded in 1780 by John Jameson in Dublin, the brand has long stood as one of Ireland’s most respected and beloved distilleries. Today, Jameson is produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork – a state-of-the-art facility that unites centuries of tradition with modern precision. The Jameson style is built on triple distillation, a process that ensures an exceptionally smooth and balanced spirit combining both pot still and grain whiskey.
The Stout Edition begins with the classic Jameson blend, aged in bourbon and sherry casks, before receiving a finishing period in stout-seasoned barrels. This final maturation gives the whiskey greater depth and complexity, adding rich tones of dark malt, cocoa, roasted nuts, and a gentle hint of coffee. The aroma is full and inviting, with notes of chocolate, caramel, and vanilla, while the palate is creamy and well-balanced, offering a harmonious interplay between sweetness and roasted character. The finish is long and velvety, with a delicate bitterness from the stout casks.
Jameson Stout Edition is made for those who appreciate tradition but also seek something new. It’s complex enough to be enjoyed neat, yet versatile enough to shine in cocktails that benefit from its roasted depth and malted undertones – such as an Irish Coffee or a Whiskey Sour. This expression proves that Jameson is not just preserving its proud heritage, but also pushing Irish whiskey forward with curiosity and innovation.
