Midleton Very Rare Midleton Very Rare Vintage 2021 The latest edition to the vintage series has been crafted by new Master Distiller Kevin O’Gorman and is a blend of rare and hand-selected single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys. In order to maintain a luxurious, balanced aroma and taste profile, O’Gorman selected a mix of first and second still casks to enhance the wood contribution, while allowing the pot still component to express itself. Showcasing a floral character, the higher selection of grain whiskeys extends to the spectrum of flavours and aromas, which includes baked orchard fruits, lime zest and kiwi, rounded off with mild pot still spices and waves of vanilla. The texture gains additional wood spices with a delicate touch of clove oil and nutmeg adding a mild heat, giving balance to the sweetness, while the lingering finish with the pot still spices and soft fruits eventually fades, allowing the oak to have the final say. www.midletonveryrare.com
