Midleton Very Rare 'Barry Crockett Legacy' Irish Whiskey 750ml

Product Description

The modern day Midleton whiskey house style evolved under the stewardship of the Crocketts, and achieved notability through the annual vintage release of the Midleton Very Rare blend and the limited releases of the Midleton Single Pot Still whiskeys. The style is characterised by elegant and fragrant distillates and the exclusive use of American bourbon barrels in their maturation. Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy is the first ongoing bottling of a Single Pot Still whiskey from the Midleton brand and is a fitting legacy to the man, who bore more than anyone else, has defined the exquisite Midleton style. This whiskey represents Barry Crockett's personal selection of fine and elegantwhiskeys which have been distilled and laid down over the past 22 years. Using a combination of different Pot Still distillates, Barry has assembled a whiskey of remarkable complexity and finesse. The whiskey uses mainly the highest quality first fill bourbon barrels with a subtle contribution of a particular Pot Still distillate which has spent over 18 years maturing in unseasoned American oak barrels. This is Barry Crockett's tasting note for this impeccable whiskey: Nose: Elegant aroma of vanilla and toasted oak complimented by a touch of lime, succulent green berries, pears and green sweet pepper. Taste: Light pepper carries onto fresh citrus, limes and mandarin orange sweetness. A hint of cinnamon with vanilla and oak reveals its years spent in American oak. Finish: The full spectrum of flavours last well into the finish, slowly fading to expose the clean American oak foundation.
