Description

Midleton Very Rare 2016 Irish Whiskey

Crisp red apple leads the introduction of yellow banana with the citrus zest of mandarin. The fruit merges with the ex-bourbon barrel contribution of vanilla sweetness while the charred oak combines effortlessly with the pot-still spices.

Not to contradict the aroma, succulent ripe fruits are to the fore slowly evolving through some peppery spices and settling into a satisfying woodland character with hazelnuts representing the contribution of the best quality American oak.

Soft ripe fruit reluctantly gives way to the sweet nuttiness of American oak.
