Description
New from Jameson, The Whiskey Makers Series is a three-strong range that celebrates the effect of distillation, cask selection and blending on the final spirit. Each has been chosen by a member of the distillery's production team: head blender Billy Leighton, head distiller Brian Nation and head cooper Ger Buckley. Each is named after a tool vital to their trade and carries the name and fingerprint of the creator. The Cooper's Croze is the cask-focused expression, developed by Ger Buckley, Jameson's fifth-generation Head Cooper, to showcase the profound influence of wood and cask craft on Irish whiskey. It is a blend of single pot still and grain whiskeys matured in three distinct cask types: virgin American oak, seasoned ex-bourbon barrels, and Iberian Oloroso sherry butts. It was the first release in the Whiskey Makers Series to launch in the United States, debuting in August 2016, and is bottled non-chill filtered to preserve its full texture and complexity. This limited release has since been discontinued.
