Revel in the unique craftsmanship of Irish whiskey with the most recent addition to the Jameson Crested x Eight Degrees series - the Jameson Crested Eight Degrees Original Gravity. A special release that is a testament to Irish talent and dedication, it beautifully unites the rich, robust flavour of Jameson Crested with the distinct character of barleywine-soaked barrels.
The triple distillation process, synonymous with Jameson's heritage since 1780, creates a smooth and refined base for our Crested whiskey. Then, the intricate maturation process in barleywine-seasoned barrels imparts unique notes to the whiskey. The result is an elevated Jameson Crested, exuding a rich malt flavour profile, intertwined with delightful undertones of toasted almonds and the playful sweetness of candy floss. It is bottled at an appreciable 45% ABV, making every sip a robust and luxurious experience.
On the nose, the Crested Eight Degrees Original Gravity reveals an enticing tapestry of candied tropical fruits, underpinned by a generous, rich roasted malt character. Notes of toffee apple and vanilla intermingle effortlessly, whilst subtle whispers of dried raisins add depth to the bouquet, perfectly complementing the distinctive touch of the seasoned Irish oak.
Upon tasting, it unveils confectionery-inspired layers of candy floss, vanilla, and toasted almonds. These are skilfully balanced with generous oak tannins, dried fruits, and a gentle sprinkle of elevated spices. The sweet notes of malted cereal blend harmoniously with mild nutty undertones, resulting in a full-bodied texture that is an absolute delight to the palate.
The finish of the Jameson Crested Eight Degrees Original Gravity is noteworthy. It's long-lasting and rich, with the wood and barleywine seasoning accompanying the array of fruits until the very last sip, making for a memorable whiskey tasting experience.
