Jameson Single Pot Still 5 Oak Cask

Description

This is a pot still Irish whiskey, made from a grain recipe of malted and unmalted barley, which is triple distilled and then matured in five different barrel types. This includes bourbon and sherry casks, as well as three types of virgin oak, made from Irish, European, and American oak.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Opens with wood-driven spices of cinnamon and nutmeg intertwined with rich toasted oak, sweet honeycomb and salted caramel. Zesty fruit notes linger in the background along with dairy fudge, butterscotch and vanilla while the pot still spices continue to build over time complementing the earthy woodland notes and ripe fruits.
Palate: Rich dark chocolate, spicy toffee and ground cinnamon with hints of freshly grated ginger and touches of orange peel. The combination of fresh and seasoned oak adds intricate and layered sweet and smoked-wood tones with delicate tannins, working in balance with the pot still’s silky texture.
