Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaleach Kylebeg Wood (Tree 4), 56%

Price: 340 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Pot Still


An agreeable combination of crystalized honey, melon, and conference pear develops, with vanilla sponge cake, beeswax candles, cream soda, and light baking spices. The balance and contrast work well, highlighting gentle honeyed fruits, a strong vanilla flavor, dried fruits, and a surge in peppery spice. The latter phase comes close to Tree 2 in this release, with soothing mocha notes.
