The craft beer wave is showing little sign of slowing down, which is seeing new products be developed like the Jameson Caskmates IPA Irish Whiskey. The libation is achieved by providing casks to a local Irish brewery that fills them with IPA to help treat the wood before they are sent back to Jameson to be reused. The brand fills them with Jameson Original that is naturally imparted with a citrusy, hoppy finish thanks to the previous stage with the beer, which makes the libation ideal for beer drinkers to enjoy.
The Jameson Caskmates IPA Irish Whiskey comes as the second release as part of the casemates series and will likely be admired by craft beer enthusiasts who are looking for something different to try out.
