Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaleach Kylebeg Wood (Tree 7), 55.9%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Irish Single Pot Still
Steel yourself for a spicy encounter of cinnamon, cardamom, and seasoned oak spices, combining effortlessly with notes of walnut, vanilla, tropical fruits, blossom honey, and water biscuit. The flavors approach the cask-strength spicy summit with toffee, dried fruit, and apricot, followed by green melon, malted barley, and chocolate on the other side. Perfectly decent, but it occupies more familiar virgin oak territory than its contemporaries.
