Midleton Dair Ghaelach Knockrath Forest (Tree 2), 56.3%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2020 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Irish Single Pot Still
This has more vanilla and caramel, with less aggressive wood spices than Tree 1, and aromas of clove, sharpened pencils, and dried morel mushrooms. It's fruity and mouth-drawing, yet less weighty than Tree 1, reminiscent of fruit Life Savers and baked apple, and when it peaks it breaks with more alcohol than spice.
