Limited edition Jameson's hailed as 'fantastic' by whiskey fans now £7.50 cheaper than Tesco

Stouts are currently the talk of the town, with pub-goers nationwide embracing the trend of 'splitting the G', a ritual that involves sipping a pint of Guinness until the beer's head aligns perfectly with a specific part of the glass. But for those who enjoy a smooth Guinness and also appreciate the tangy kick of single malt whisky, there's a delightful blend that combines these two robust flavours - and it's now available at a discounted price on Amazon as part of a pre-Black Friday deal.

Enter the Jameson's Caskmates Stout Edition Irish Whiskey - this 70cl spirit is now being snapped up for just £22 on Amazon, down from its usual price of £29 - a significant saving of £7.50 compared to its £29.50 Tesco price tag. This triple-distilled whiskey has been matured in barrels previously used to store Irish stout, which enhances Jameson's signature taste with added chocolate and hoppy notes, reports Devon Live.

Whiskey fans will also detect hints of cocoa beans in the mix, with a smooth finish reminiscent of milk chocolate and butterscotch. While Jameson suggests savouring this unique stout whiskey neat, it's equally enjoyable paired with a bitter ale or mixed into classic whiskey cocktails like an Old Fashioned, John Collins, or Irish coffee.

This blend seems to have nailed it, boasting a 4.8 out of 5 stars rating from nearly 4,000 Amazon customers. A satisfied customer shared: "This has actually become my favourite whiskey that retails at its normal price within the £20-30 bracket - always a tricky region. In fact, it's joined Glenmorangie 10 as my 'favourite' for offering a quality well above its price-points. Highly recommended."

Others are equally enthused, with one five-star reviewer claiming: "What a fantastic whiskey," and praising the product by saying, "The background smell and taste of the stout is pure heaven. Purchased during Prime Day at just under £20 a bottle, I should have ordered more." Another person hailed it as: "Nectar from the Gods."

However, whiskey exploration varies greatly, and personal preference plays a significant role. One buyer felt let down stating: "Did not live up to the hype I'm afraid," noting its roughness compared to a single malt. Another expressed disappointment: "I had great hopes for the Stout Edition but curiously found it somewhat harsh and unrefined, in contrast to the standard Jameson's which is eminently drinkable."

For those adventurous spirits eager to explore further into the taste of stout-whiskey fusion, the Craft and Cask Imperial Stout Cask Finish is another great suggestion at £37.99. If one leans towards the allure of traditional notes and doesn't mind a higher price tag, the 18-year-old Glenfiddich, acclaimed for its profound complexity, is available at £81.95.
