Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition

There are three questions that keep me up at night. Is a fraggle a muppet? How come meteors always seem to land in craters? Why does this Irishman not like Jameson or Guinness? I feel like I should hand in my passport after admitting that. With that in mind, and also because I’ve had the Teeling Stout Cask and did not like it at all, I was geared up to post a rock bottom rating for this one. My father currently favours this Jameson for his occasional hot whiskey and I had a measure while on a visit at his house. It could have been the relaxing company, it could have been the fact it was our longest catchup and my first stay-over with the oul’ fella since the lifting of Covid restrictions, it could have been us riding out Storm Ellen in a warm country house (nothing to do with a ‘toxic’ talk show but rather an unseasonal Atlantic storm). Probably all of the above, but this pleasantly surprised me. Sweeter, silkier, chocolatier (eh?). It almost masked that metallic twang. One less thing to keep me up at night.

Very easy drinking with the interesting stuff picked up from the stout.

Somehow smoother than Jameson. A little sweeter/chocolatier

No likey too much
