Jameson Announces New Triple Triple Chestnut Edition

Jameson, the world’s bestselling Irish whiskey, has introduced a new member to the family, Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition. 

Having already earned a Gold Medal from the Beverage Tasting Institute, this new offering is a fresh take on the signature smoothness of Jameson that has been elevated through the combination of triple cask maturation. Made in Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition has been triple distilled and blended from a combination of both ex-Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks with the addition of hand-selected sweet chestnut casks. The chestnut cask contribution adds velvety notes of toffee, cacao and toasted almonds.

This new expression builds on the success of the first Jameson Triple Triple release – introduced as an exclusive offering in travel retail – which saw ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks meet Málaga wine casks for a subtle sweetness, citrus fruit notes and the signature Triple Triple extra smooth taste profile.  

Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman comments: 

“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.” 

Bottled at an ABV of 40%, Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition is priced at RRP $29/£29 bottle, and will be available starting October 2024 in South Africa, with a broader global rollout across the UK, US, Ireland, India, Poland and Canada by early 2025.

NOTE: This new Triple Triple will be available outside of Global Travel Retail in regular retail outlets.   

Official 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.
