Midleton Very Rare Btl 2023 40%

Description

Midleton Very Rare is a prestigious vintage release series from Midleton Distillery in County Cork. Crafted by Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman, it’s a harmonious blend of hand-selected single pot still and single grain whiskeys, matured in lightly charred ex‑bourbon American oak casks.

This release saw the introduction of the new sustainable packaging which was inspired by the original boxes used for Midleton in the 1980’s.

Tasting Note

Luscious at first with succulent fruits and a distinctive creaminess along with a herbal quality akin to chamomile tea. The pot still spices add depth and intrigue as they weave amongst the floral grain qualities found lingering throughout. The charred oak’s influence continues to build over time creating additional complexity as the wood-derived spices complement the ever-present fruits of candied orange and dried apricot.
