Following worldwide success in various spirits and whiskey competitions, Jameson Irish Whiskey has announced that Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition is now available in the UK and the U.S.
The whiskey, which is part-matured in sweet chestnut casks, was launched in South Africa in October 2024, with Jameson promising a further roll-out in early 2025.
The Making Of Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition
Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition is crafted at Midleton Distillery in Cork, Ireland. Classically triple-distilled Jameson whiskey is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks with the addition of hand-selected chestnut casks. The chestnut influence “adds velvety notes of toffee, cacao and toasted almonds, resulting in a whiskey so smooth, it must be a Jameson.”
Speaking about the whiskey, Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman, said: “At Jameson, we’ve known that good things come in threes ever since John Jameson introduced the world to triple-distilled Jameson Irish Whiskey. Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition is no exception to this rule. Our single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys have been further enhanced through a combination of triple cask maturation to create an exciting new taste experience. Sweet Chestnut wood imparts rich notes of chocolate and fudge, adding a luxurious layer to Jameson whiskey’s much-loved character, making it an excellent new addition to the family.”
The first Triple Triple release saw Jameson whiskey matured in ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and Málaga wine casks imparting a subtle sweetness to the characteristically smooth whiskey.
Pricing & Availability
The Irish whiskey is bottled at 40% ABV and priced at $29/£29 per bottle. It is now available to purchase in the UK, the U.S., Ireland, Canada, and Poland. A further roll-out to Japan and India is expected in the coming months.
Tasting Notes
“Nose: Opens with rich aromas of toffee fudge, vanilla, and hazelnut chocolate. Subtle orchard fruit notes of sweet pear and green apple softly linger in the background while the chestnut wood influence continues to build, accentuating the indulgent tones of dark chocolate and toasted almond.
“Taste: Luscious and textured with notes of creamy fudge and vanilla, while mild nutty undertones and gentle wood spices slowly build over time adding further layers of flavour, complementing the orchard fruits and toasted wood.
“Finish: Lingering finish which sees the fruits and spices gently fade, allowing the balanced use of oak and chestnut to have the last word.”
