I’ve always found it difficult to enjoy Jameson outside of coffee because I tend to prefer punchier whiskies, so when I saw this on the shelf I was imagining the optimal Jameson. I was very wrong and kind of feel misled a bit. There’s a DIFFERENCE between the Caskmates version and regular ol’ Jameson, but it’s very difficult to get any hops out of the stuff. It’s essentially a slightly more spicy, sharper Jameson. If you like Jameson, you’re not going to be disappointed. If you’re like me, I don’t think you’ll be finding something new from this style.

@Nintos that’s a great idea. Lol
@deuce26 Interesting thought! I saw the stout expression on the shelf when I picked up the IPA, but haven’t considered giving it a chance till now. I’m simply not the biggest Jameson fan in the first place, so I might be a lost cause. Maybe I’ll give the stout to a friend for Christmas and bum a glass off of him ;)
I find it as a more interesting Jameson. Great for when you are in a bar and don’t want to break the bank, but also don’t want boring regular Jameson. Have you had the stout? Some like that expression better, but I go for the IPA.
