Midleton Distillery ,
It's Midleton Very Rare 2024! For this year's edition, master distiller Kevin O’Gorman increased the grain percentage and the amount of medium pot still whiskey (Midleton makes three styles of pot still: light, medium, and heavy style), as well as raising the number of first-fill American oak whiskey barrels of both pot and grain whiskey. It was bottled at 40% and comes in a recyclable gift box.
Nose
First there’s apricot, hay, floral honey, and creamy fudgy goodness. Then pear drops, floral notes like Turkish delight, aromatic clove, and a buttery quality like a warm croissant.
Palate
That luscious pot still character gives you a silky palate backed by rich baking spice, toasted oak, and tropical fruit. Vanilla and toffee apples add depth.
Finish
Creamy, floral, and vibrant.
