Midleton Very Rare 2016 70cl Whisky
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.
Winner of 1 spirit awards
