Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition
The fresh side of Caskmates. Smooth Jameson matured in casks that previously held IPA, taking on citrus and hops from them. Made for long, cold highballs with plenty of fizz.
Hops and citrus in an Irish whiskey
Alongside the Stout Edition, this is the second collaboration between Jameson and beer brewers. This time, the whiskey is matured in oak casks that previously held India Pale Ale. IPA is a heavily hopped beer, and those hops remain in the wood. The whiskey takes on citrus and a lightly hoppy character from them.
The base is the same smooth, triple-distilled Jameson at 40% ABV. The difference from the Stout Edition is striking: where that one is dark and chocolatey, the IPA Edition is fresh and slightly bitter. That makes it the Caskmates for summer, for highballs with soda water or ginger ale.
In short

Citrus and hops
Fresh citrus and a green, spicy hop note over Jameson's familiar vanilla.
Soft with a bite
Smooth and light, with citrus and a gentle bitterness reminiscent of a good IPA.
Dry and fresh
A fresher, slightly drier finish than the Original, with a final hint of hops.

How to drink the IPA Edition
This Caskmates calls for ice and fizz. The hop and citrus flavours are best enjoyed in a tall glass.
IPA highball
50 ml Caskmates IPA in a highball glass filled with ice, topped up with 150 ml cold soda water. Stir briefly and squeeze a strip of lemon peel over it.
Highball recipe →With ginger ale and lime
50 ml Caskmates IPA with 150 ml ginger ale and a lime wedge over plenty of ice. The ginger softens the hops and makes the drink a little sweeter.
