Jameson The Whiskey Makers Series Cooper’s Croze

The Jameson The Whiskey Makers Series Cooper’s Croze is the third release in a series of 3 marking the craftsmanship at Jameson. The Cooper’s Croze is a whiskey created by Head Cooper, Ger Buckley, showcasing the diversity of barrels at our Midleton distillery and the profound influence that wood yields. The Cooper’s Croze is a carefully crafted whiskey that effortlessly carries vanilla sweetness, rich fruit flavours, floral and spice notes, and the undeniable influence of oak. You can take the whiskey out of wood but you can never take the wood out of whiskey.

Nose: a subtle flower petal-perfume develops into rich ripe fruits, while some charred oak and cedar wood bring balance and complexity – a seamless infusion of American and Spanish oak character.

Palate: the initial impression is from the sweet vanilla of the American ex-bourbon barrels. This brings added depth to the rich fruits typical of the ex-oloroso sherry butts. A pleasant touch of hazelnut and toasted wood complement the pot still spices.

Finish: pleasantly long, with vanilla sweetness slowly fading to barley grains with a touch of oak char.
