Jameson Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey review
July 1, 2016Mufloni Saison Gaelach – beer aged in Jameson casks
Mufloni Saison Gaelach is a limited edition beer made for Uisge festival in Finland. Originally the plan was to launch it for Beer Expo in Finland, but it did not quite make it. The original Saison used for this whisky cask matured beer had an ABV of 7%. After maturation in the Jameson whisky casks, the alcohol per volume level raised to 10%.
Jameson leaves you a bit cold
In theory, this beer might work, but in practice, it didn’t really rock my boat. Muflonis are products from Pori, Finland. Brewed in Panimoravintola Beer Hunter’s, who were responsible for Old Buck whisky. That’s why my expectations were high.
Probably the usage of Jameson didn’t make this beer as good as a saison matured in whisky casks could be – probably some better whisky would have made the difference.
Scoring
Even though not a full ten point beer, I had to review it because of the major whisky influence.
6 Bit overly sweet for my taste, decent beer Brewery: Panimoravintola Beer Hunter’s Brand: Mufloni ABV: 10%
