Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition
Blended — Ireland

I opened a bottle of this stuff about a week ago and was not impressed when I first opened it so I gave it a week to breathe and see what happened and I was very sad by what I tasted. First I want to start off with Irish whiskey should be smooth and light at least that is what I like about it. This whiskey is nice in the Glencairn with a light to medium amber hue and it coats the glass nicely as well. The nose is slightly sweet but also it has the faint scent of beer which is off-putting it smells like they washed the bottle with an IPA then put the whiskey in it. The body was too sharp and the finish was not good and bitter. So as you can see I was not impressed by this expression of Jameson. I really struggled to taste this again for the review I have not enjoyed anything about this. I do not mind regular Jameson and Black Barrel was good but this stuff is not pleasant for me to drink. This is a never buy again.

Agreed this stuff is unenjoyable. Black Barrel smokes it
I actually like this one a good bit (even though I loathe most IPA’s), but there are different editions (supposedly?) so maybe some are better than others. Mixes well with tonic in warmer weather. Not something I have to have, but there is usually a bottle in cabinet.
Hey Bill. Please do try it and let me know what you think of it. The flavors did not suit me but you may like it.
i bought a little checkout-aisle bottle of this stuff but haven't tried it yet. I'm almost intrigued to do so now!
Thanks this was one of the few whiskey's that got worse the more I drank.
Thanks for suffering through this one for us. Sounds dreadful.
