Haven’t talked about Three Weavers in a mo’ but they have a new imperial stout with an Irish twist to it Some Dark Hollow. A big 12.3% that aged in Jameson Irish Whisky casks. Look for it in finer beer shoppes.
In the Dark
Two New Caskmates
Jameson Whiskey is going “hyperlocal” with two new editions of Irish Whiskey. Here is the quick summary, ” The Jameson Caskmates Hyperlocal Limited Editions were conceived when Bale Breaker Brewing and Revolution Brewing traveled to Ireland earlier this year to brew their signature beers and season Jameson casks. Jameson then reused these casks for their whiskey, resulting in two different and distinct Jameson Caskmates Editions that have been patiently finished in local craft beer-seasoned barrels.”
Considering the hops that Bale Breaker may have used from their own farm, makes me pick that one first but Revolution Brewing is no slouch either.
Reverse barrel aging
Triple distilled and once stouted. It is past time for the tide to turn and have whiskey see what their spirit tastes like when introduced to the stout barrel of craft beer. (In this case from Franciscan Wells in Cork). The barrels went from Jameson to Franciscan and then back and thus was born Caskmates.
Now I am more of a lighter whiskey, less smokey type of person but even I would snag a bottle of this if I saw it.
