Jameson’s Caskmates Stout Edition Irish Whiskey has been cut to £23.50 for a limited time on Amazon, making it a bargain for anyone keen to try the unique blend
Stouts are taking the nation’s pubs by storm with the latest trend, ‘splitting the G’, which involves sipping a pint of Guinness until it aligns with a particular part of the glass. If you’re a fan of the creamy brew and the fiery zest of single malt whiskey, there’s a treat in store for you.
Jameson’s Caskmates Stout Edition Irish Whiskey merges these two distinct tastes, and right now, you can snag a 70cl bottle for £23.50 on Amazon, down from its usual £29 – that’s a nifty saving of £5.50 off the Tesco price.
This triple-distilled, blended whiskey benefits from an ageing process in casks previously used for Irish stout, bestowing upon it rich chocolatey, bitter notes. Expect to detect undertones of hops and cocoa beans, alongside smooth milk chocolate and butterscotch finishes.
Jameson suggests enjoying the stout whiskey neat, though it’s also a perfect match with a pint of bitter or as an ingredient in classic whiskey cocktails such as an old fashioned, John Collins, or Irish coffee. Drink connoisseurs seem to approve of this fusion; it has racked up a 4.8 out of 5-star rating from nearly 4,000 Amazon reviewers.
One particularly thrilled whiskey enthusiast stated, “This has actually become my favourite whiskey that retails at its normal price within the £20-30 bracket – always a tricky region,” before adding, “In fact, it’s joined Glenmorangie 10 as my ‘favourite’ for offering a quality well above its price-points. Highly recommended.”
One reviewer raved: “What a fantastic whiskey,” adding, “The background smell and taste of the stout is pure heaven. Purchased during Prime Day at just under £20 a bottle, I should have ordered more.”
Another fan simply described it as “Nectar from the Gods.”
However, not everyone was impressed. One customer said: “Did not live up to the hype I’m afraid,” and “It’s a tad rough when you compare it to a single malt.”
Another reviewer said: “I had great hopes for the Stout Edition but curiously found it somewhat harsh and unrefined, compared to the standard Jameson’s, which is eminently drinkable.”
If you’re interested in trying other stout whiskeys, consider the Craft and Cask Imperial Stout Cask Finish for £35.99. Alternatively, for a more traditional flavour at a higher price point, the 18 year old Glenfiddich offers incredible depth for £81.95, reports Wales Online.
