Released in 2011, Midleton's Barry Crockett edition was named after the distillery's master distiller, and it is aged in both bourbon and new American oak barrels! Very interesting indeed and a limited release of around 2,500 bottles per year.
Soft, sweet notes of barley, floral honey, rosemary, citrus, cut hay, Summer meadows and toffee apples.
Sweet tobacco leaves and cedar, sugared peels, toffee, honey softness, vanilla and boiled sweets.
Very creamy and vanilla-rich, cinnamon and a little pear drop on the tail.
I am A whiskey fanatic and I must say Hats off to Barry. WHAT a fantastic experience.....
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
