Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaelach Kinranelagh Wood Tree 1, 57%

The spiciest of this release, the nose has strong scents of roasted spices, smoky singed oak, and pot still spices, with hints of honey, dried grasses, and fresh mango. The palate has baked citrus, cinnamon, and toffee flavors, with robust new oak spices, plus clove and pepper before it reaches a plateau to round off with toffee, nuts, and warming cinnamon.—JM
