Midleton Dair Ghaelach - Kylebeg Wood Tree 3 (Virgin Irish Oak Collection)
'Dair Ghaelach' means Irish oak, which is exactly what this edition of Midleton Very Rare Irish single pot still whiskey was finished in! The whiskey spent time in new casks made from oak grown in Kylebeg Wood on the Ballykilcavan Estate, near Stradbally in Co. Laois.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Fragrant woodland spices with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg to the fore accompanied by aromatic oils and earthy pot still notes. Delicate hints of nectarine develop to create a zesty fruit note with dustings of white pepper. Additional aromas of dairy fudge and vanilla further accentuate the sweet nature of the whiskey.
Palate
Fortified by the Irish Oak, the pot still spices lead with a heightened intensity thanks to the rich wood tannins before subsiding to reveal velvety tones of caramel with sweet stewed apple and touches of orange peel. Dark chocolate with subtle notes of honeycomb and vanilla weave amongst the spices.
Finish
Delightfully long finish with the fruits and apices slowly fading, allowing the Irish Oak to linger until the very end.
