jameson caskmates stout edition

A Match Made in Heaven!

There are rare moments in life when all of the ingredients come together in one harmonious blend to make a product that is both extremely tasty and cost efficient. These moments are even more rare in the world of whiskey! Jameson's Caskmates Stout Edition is one such item. The nose is pleasant with whiff's of the stout coming through most noticeably. It is almost as if you are walking through the brewery and being surrounded by that scent of yeast. There is no overwhelming scent of alcohol which you find in some blends of this nature. On the palette the taste is surprisingly smooth for a 40 proof whiskey. The buttered biscuit notes you find in much of Irish whiskey are mellowed by the stout and become more of a pancake covered in rich maple syrup! After that initial taste there is a mild dark chocolate note on the finish. I would say the finish itself is a little short but the overall experience is very good. This is not a perfect whiskey, so Heaven still has a ways to go. But for the price, and the sheer pleasure one gets in drinking the Stout Edition, one can not go wrong! The more I drink it the better it gets.

Smoother than a baby's bottom

Hello, long time drinker, first time official reviewer. I hate stouts. Well, used to (started liking Guinness after I visited Ireland, go figure). I drink a lot of IPAs. For some reason I'm not very partial to the IPA edition. I do however, have always LOVED the stout version. The 6 D's of this are Delicious, Delightful, Delectable, Daring, Divine, and Delicious.
