Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaleach Kylebeg Wood (Tree 5), 56%

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


A delicious nose of heather honey, baked peach, dried apricot, fresh oak, and clotted cream on warm scones, with a twist of black pepper and ground ginger. The way the fruitiness breaks through the wall of ginger and pepper, enabling the baked peach, apple, sweet honey, and toffee to assert themselves is rather wonderful. Waves of sweetness and vanilla break over stone fruit, leaving a roasted coffee finish.
