Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy

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.

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

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

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