    Midleton Very Rare 2016

    It's the 2016 edition of the annually-released Midleton Very Rare, an annually-awesome Irish blended whiskey from the eponymous distillery. This was drawn exclusively from American oak barrels selected by Master Distiller Brian Nation (who took over the role from the legendary Barry Crockett in 2014).

    This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Robustly malty, though soft hints of jam doughnuts and marmalade come through too.

    Palate

    Waxy fruit, still quite malty. Christmas spices and comforting vanilla notes linger.

    Finish

    Apricot, mango and underlying hints of peppered oak.

    Amazing

    Absolutely best bottle I have in the cabinet. But sadly it is getting dangerously low. A very special bottle, Irish at it's best

    It is Superb

    Finest bottle of Whiskey I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. It's almost gone. Sad day indead when the last drops appear.

    Lucky find in WV

    Very well done. From the first drink there was a warm taste similar to a carmel apple. I’ll be buying more of this at the first opportunity

    The luck of the Irish

    Brilliant. Very smooth. Notes of vanilla and caramel.
