Tasting Notes:

About:

A carefully crafted blend of Jameson whiskeys, Triple Triple Chestnut Cask introduces chestnut wood maturation alongside its core of bourbon cask influence and a hint of sherry. Part of the experimental Triple Triple range from Midleton, it explores the impact of alternative woods on Jameson’s smooth profile. Bottled at 40% ABV.

Appearance:

Sherry Gold

Nose:

Ginger biscuits! What an amazing aroma. It has that gently warm, sugar coated, twice baked aroma to it. So comforting!

That aside, we’ve got delightfully classic Jameson notes of vanilla, custard and sweet grain whiskies in the back.

Palate:

More of this sweet, gently hot ginger note. I’ve never knowingly tried chestnut wood matured whiskey, if this is what it does to it then sign me up for more.

The whisky becomes quite typical Jameson when left on the palate for a longer period of time. You do get a little more spiciness on the palate. But this is very much a pour and play kind of whiskey.

Finish:

More of this sweet ginger and a little tang of grain whiskey in the back. a very straight forward whiskey with an exciting cask influence that isn’t oak.

Comments:

I’ve really enjoyed exploring this range from Jameson. While I don’t think the Chestnut Cask quite matches the standout character of the Malaga Cask, it delivers that signature ginger note beautifully before developing into a spicier expression of Jameson. It’s an excellent choice for fans of spiced rum, offering a sweet, earthy, and warming profile.

It’s also a welcome addition to the Jameson line-up, and a reminder that Irish whiskey makers have the freedom to mature their spirit in a wide variety of woods. This release is a great example of how that flexibility can lead to exciting and distinctive results.
