Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy

If there is a better whiskey out there then I haven't tried it! Perfect in every way, the complexity hits you from all sides leaving you wanting more with each sip.

One of the best Irish whiskies I have ever tried. I never entirely understood all the descriptive terminology around whiskies until I had this delightful and savoury concoction. This is a slow drinker, every sip appreciated. I recommend it to everyone who has ever wondered if the higher price whiskies are actually worth the price, because this one certainly was (mine is now an empty bottle in a beautiful wooden casket).

OK, let’s start at the top: £150 in the UK which is about $200. What do you get for your money? Well, first there is a very well made box, a coffin to hold the bottle in place. Oh, you want to know what the whiskey tastes like? Well, in my opinion, rather rough at first taste without water. Then, after a drop of H2O, a smooth, tasty, full-flavoured mouthful with a great lingering after-taste delighting my palate. This is such a good whiskey that I could imagine having one glass and no more as a digestif; well, more likely, two glasses of delight. But the price! Even as a fan of whiskey I could not imagine spending this much (although I have been fortunate enough to be given it as a present). And, for what it is worth, the BC Legacy is a monotone and I could buy wonderful complex Scottish malts for a lot less money.

A good sipping whiskey and worthy of praise. Being a bit inspired by bourbons, some may like this more than others. I was fortunate enough to try this on several occasions on a recent trip to Ireland.

Exceptional. Next best thing to Jameson Vintage.

Very Rare pleased my palate far more than Legacy which I found somewhat harsh and a tad off putting, it is after all, just a matter of taste.

Very much smooth and Dam those good flavours...
If you love triple distilled + Natural Gas roast then this is just beyond best!

Fantastic whiskey had the pleasure at a Whiskey tasting this evening

14th July 2016

We started our Irish whiskey odysesy in Galway and finished it in Midleton at the Jameson distillery where the Legacy is produced. The Legacy, like the island, is warm and welcoming.

Fantastic! Tried and bought while in Dublin recently. Very complex and one of the best we tried among all the pubs we visited. Wish we could buy here in the States.

As an avid Irish Whiskey drinker with 58 different Irish Whiskeys in my current collection, this is my favorite, had heard about it and decided to try a small glass of it at a local Irish Pub, took a sip and instantly knew this was the best Irish Whiskey I had ever had, very good from start to finish, great nose, complex flavors, very smooth and a great finish, no bad notes at all!

I am A whiskey fanatic and I must say Hats off to Barry. WHAT a fantastic experience.....

7th February 2015

I've drank more than a dozen of all the Midleton whiskies available in the US (so no Spots apart from Green) and this is among the best. But at this price point, it should be THE best and I just don't think it is. I'd choose the Midleton Very Rare, the Green Spot and the Powers Johns Lane over the Barry. This isn't to say the Barry is bad, because its close to great. But I've bought it several times and been given it once so I've had my fill of it. There's just too many great options at a fraction of the price.

On the nose; Ripe Banana, custard and roasted almonds. The wood; I'm getting smoked bourbon barrel shavings, vintage port and fresh cobnuts. Taste; liqourice, vanilla, elderflower, first press almond oil and Eucalyptus honey. The finish is freshly lead Axminster Carpet, melting ice cream at the sea side in summer and an autumnal walk in a thick deciduous Irish forest.
I have been privileged in life to have drank enough whiskey to understand its delightful complexity. To this day I'd have given the nod to The Dalmore's Alexander iii as my favourite... But this whiskey is a work of genius. In my opinion the world has a new Picasso... He's an artist making whiskey at Middleton!

Comparing this rare Single Pot Still to aged malts misses the point entirely.

27th March 2014

Nice whiskey but probably not worth the price tag compared to aged malts in same price range

1st January 2014

I am a big Bushmill 16 fan and this one is Fantastic. Very long finish and butter Smooth taste.

28th December 2013

Probably (almost sure) the best irish I ever had. Fruity an fresh, leaves with long aftertaste and strong desire to have it more.
