Irish whiskey brand Jameson has announced a new addition to its range: Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition. It follows the brand's previous release, Jameson Triple Triple, which was launched as a travel retail exclusive.

The new Triple Triple Chestnut Edition takes its name from the method and maturation behind it. The whiskey is triple distilled, and is blended from spirit matured in three cask types: ex-bourbon, oloroso sherry, and chestnut casks. Jameson says that the chestnut casks add "velvety notes of toffee, cacao, and toasted almonds".

Master distiller Kevin O’Gorman commented: “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 previous edition, Jameson Triple Triple, saw the brand's triple-distilled spirit matured in ex-bourbon, oloroso sherry, and Málaga wine casks. 

Jameson's parent company, Irish Distillers, recently announced plans to celebrate Midleton Distillery's 200th anniversary. Midleton is the home of several of Irish Distillers' brands, including Jameson. 

Jameson Triple Triple Chestnut Edition (40% ABV) is available at RRP £29 in the UK, US, Canada, Poland, and South Africa, with planned rollouts to Japan and India to follow.
