Jameson 18 Year Old Triple Distilled Irish Whisky with Wooden Giftbox, 70cl

Product Information

There's a wide variety for whisky lovers to choose from, including the Jameson stout edition from their popular Caskmates range. Born out of a collaboration between the whiskey giant and a local Cork brewery, this special edition is aged in stout-seasoned oak barrels for a truly unique taste. A similar partnership was formed with the Franciscan Well Brewery to produce their hoppy Jameson IPA. So, when Malt asked if I would like to do a bit of writing, I was ecstatic! This is the parallel universe where people who are aggressively passionate about whisky meet. You might be judged for drinking whisky with soda, but no one will raise their eyebrows if you publicly declare your love for whisky. So here I am, with my first review on Malt. Let’s start strong (pun intended) with a cask strength whiskey from Ireland. With a whiskey industry that prospered for hundreds of years, Ireland helped establish a taste for whiskey throughout the western world. Legendary producer Bushmills was issued what is now the oldest license to distill spirits in 1608, and within decades Ireland boasted more than 100 distilleries. On the nose: Intense, with lots of ripe tropical fruits. I get banana walnut bread, rum raisin chocolate, toffee, lemon, honey, pineapple, and overripe melon. After it is exposed to air for a while, a light touch of perfumy notes and earl grey comes through.

This rite of passage introduces subtle traces of vanilla to an exceptionally balanced, mellow whiskey with a lingering finale of wood, spice and toffee. An elder statesman of our portfolio, each bottle of this unique whiskey is individually numbered. The Irish will tell you they invented whiskey-making, and it wasn’t until the Middle Ages that Irish monks brought distilling techniques across the waters to Scotland. Yet that short distance has been far enough that the two whiskeys evolved, over the centuries, into very different styles. The selling point of this whiskey is its connection with Bow Street in Dublin, the original home of Jameson Distillery. It is first matured for 18 years in a combination of American bourbon barrels and Spanish sherry butts at the New Midleton Distillery in Cork. Then, the blend is re-casked in first-fill bourbon barrels for another 6-to-12-month maturation in the Maturation House at the Jameson Distillery Bow Street. The Maturation House can store 84 casks only. In that sense, it is indeed a rare release. Irish whiskey producers generally use a mix of malted and unmalted barley for their mash bill – unlike the Scots, who use all malted barley – and these unmalted grains may enhance earthy, oily notes in the spirit. They generally dry the grains with ovens, instead of the Scots’ traditional peat fires, so with some exceptions Irish whiskeys don’t have the smoky aromas that characterize many scotch whiskies. Finally, Irish whiskeys are typically distilled three times, which is one more go-around than is usual for most scotch whiskies.
