    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.

    Very smooth sipping Whiskey

    Very smooth with just the right blend of malt and kick.

    Nigel Murtagh May 25, 2017

    Good, but didn't live up to its price.

    I tried this in a bar whilst I was originally drinking Jameson Select Reserve. I thought at £15 a shot, this has to be pretty special. It was good, but not as good as the Jameson that was three times cheaper. Don't get me wrong, this was a lovely smooth drink, but it didn't put the Jameson in the shade which I expected it to do. Sorry.........
