Irish
Distillers has teamed up with Cork
based craft beer maker
Eight Degrees to create a limited edition
Jameson Crested Finished In Devil’s
Ladder Belgian Tripel Barrels.
 Irish
Distillers makers of Jameson Irish
whiskey has unveiled a new limited
edition expression of their popular
Irish whiskey, Jameson Crested Finished
In Devil’s Ladder Belgian Tripel
Barrels.
Jameson Crested Finished In Devil’s
Ladder Belgian Tripel Barrels is the
next step in an ongoing collaboration
between Irish Distillers and its Co.
Cork neighbour, the craft beer maker
Eight Degrees. Making the most of their
close relationship, in 2020 Eight
Degrees finished their Beligian Tripel
craft beer in Jameson sherry casks.
Named Devil’s Ladder after the
best-known hiking route up Ireland’s
tallest peak, the beer truly takes taste
to new heights.
Jameson returned the compliment by
selecting a special whiskey to mature in
the beer-soaked barrels. After four
months of maturation, the result they
say is a
stunning evolution of Jameson Crested,
with abundant spices, floral hops and
sweetness, while the oak and malt work
in tandem to add a toasted cereal
character.
I haven't tasted the Belgian Tripel beer
cask finished dram so I can comment as
to its quality or what it brings to the
Jameson Crested whiskey which I do know
is a quality whiskey but these beer
finished whiskies do tend to work well
if the whiskey being finished is good.
It should be an interesting expression
for the Jameson fans amongst you.
A limited-edition release of fewer than
6,000 bottles, Jameson Crested Finished
in Devil’s Ladder Belgian Tripel Barrels
has a price tag of €50 and will soon be available
from
specialist online whisky retailers
such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of

Jameson Crested Finished in Belgian Tripel Barrels Review
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Initial notes of clove spice and
cinnamon along with rich caramelised
brown sugar and a roasted malt character
that complements the sherry casks’
influence of toasted oak and dried
fruits.
Taste:
Round with abundant spices and a
delicate floral hoppy character. Vanilla
sweetness comes to the fore with a soft
fruit note lingering in the background
while the oak and malt work in tandem
adding a toasted cereal element to the
whiskey.
Finish:
Lingering with the spices slowly fading,
allowing the sweet nature of the oak and
malt to remain until the very end.
