Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition Irish Whisky [1000ML]

Description

What happens when Ireland’s smoothest whiskey meets the hoppy character of craft beer brewing?

The Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition represents a groundbreaking collaboration between Ireland’s most beloved distillery and Franciscan Well Brewery. This innovative cask-finished whiskey pushes boundaries by maturing in barrels previously used for Chieftain IPA beer, creating a unique flavor profile that bridges two beloved Irish traditions. Unlike traditional Irish whiskeys such as The Irishman 12 Years Single Malt, this expression introduces craft beer influences that transform the classic Jameson character.
